Attn: Warner - These are titles I would gladly purchase on BD

EDIT: Thanks to the moderator who moved this thread to the correct forum.

Let me start off by saying that I know there is a similar thread on the SD DVD forum. However, I don't want to clog that thread up with a Blu-ray centered post. Also, I didn't see a similar thread here on this board, but if this is redundant I apologize in advance.

I'm making this thread because I know that Warner representatives do read this forum to get some feel for what releases may have a buying audience. I also know that Warner is unlikely to release any non A-list catalog titles, especially as we get to the 1970s and earlier, for a variety of reasons, from having HD ready materials to simple cost-to-profit ratio. So my list will only include a few such films no matter how much I'd like to see more (gotta keep it realistic). I also won't list titles already announced that I will gladly purchase, such as Ben-Hur, Gone with the Wind, etc.

That being said, of my 85 BD titles I own, a full 25% (28) are Warner releases, with 13 of those being catalog titles over 10 years old.

So, here's what I would purchase:

Titles I already own on DVD and would purchase again on BD:

Amadeus (preferably with both cuts of the film)
Barry Lyndon
Bringing Up Baby
Captain Blood
Citizen Kane
Contact
Dial M for Murder (if possible, with alternate 3-D version)
Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Empire of the Sun
Giant
The Goonies
The Green Mile
The Iron Giant
JFK (with both cuts if possible, though I'd rather have the Director's Cut)
King Kong (1933)
Lolita (1962)
Malcolm X
Maverick (1994)
The Mission
Mystic River
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Rebel Without a Cause
The Sea Hawk
Singin' in the Rain
Strangers on a Train
THX 1138 (would like both versions of this film, but I know Lucas won't allow the original to be released; good thing I like the new cut more)

Titles I do not own on DVD because I'm holding out for BD:

All the President's Men
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Uncut)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Before Sunrise
Before Sunset
The Big Sleep
The Magnificent Ambersons (please release on BD when the eventual DVD comes out!)
Matchstick Men
McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Network
The Outsiders (both cuts if possible)
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
A Perfect World
Poltergeist
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (both cuts)
Ryan's Daughter
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (both aspect ratio versions of the film)
Stagecoach
White Hunter, Black Heart
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Hope this gets the attention of someone with influence!

Re: Attn: Warner - These are titles I would gladly purchase on BD

I don't expect them all at once. Maybe 50-75% of these over the next 4-5 years would be awesome.

Re: Attn: Warner - These are titles I would gladly purchase on BD

Two things to add to my original post:

1. Since we know from websites such as The Digital Bits that the BD versions of The Adventures of Robin Hood and Casablanca are done, please schedule their release. I will gladly pick them up immediately!

2. I neglected to list any New Line titles, but seeing as how Warner is now more hands on, here's what I would purchase:

About Schmidt
Dumb and Dumber
The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
The Lord of the Rings
The New World
The Wedding Singer

And what the heck - I'll even send HBO a shout out, even though Warner doesn't decide for them:

American Splendor
Band of Brothers
From the Earth to the Moon
Three Amigos

Re: Attn: Warner - These are titles I would gladly purchase on BD

And now, let me list those titles I previously considered unlikely to get a Blu-ray release, because they are "non A-list catalog titles [especially from the] 1970s and earlier."

I would gladly buy them, though.

Titles I already own on DVD and would purchase again on BD:

Akira Kuroawa's Dreams
Angels with Dirty Faces
Astaire and Rogers: The Complete Film Collection (or at the very least: Shall We Dance, Swing Time, and Top Hat)
The Buster Keaton Collection (or at the very least: The Cameraman)
Foreign Correspondent
Libeled Lady
Little Caesar
A Night at the Opera
The Public Enemy
The Roaring Twenties
White Heat

Titles I do not own on DVD because I'm holding out for BD:

Bachelor Mother (please release on BD when the eventual DVD comes out!)
Bad Day at Black Rock
The Big Parade (please release on BD when the eventual DVD comes out!)
The Crowd (please release on BD when the eventual DVD comes out!)
