john, click on my list, below the American release, you will see both the European and Russian catalogue of 65/70mm large format film releases.

benbess, due to the expenses at cleaning, scanning, mastering and encoding these large format, i doubt we'll be seeing much of these films on Blu-Ray for next 2-3 years... but i'm hoping that films like Around the World in 80 Days (that i watched recently) does get cleaned up and released on BD.

don't you all agree that what has been released so far (except Patton) has been incredibly sharp? lemme single out baraka as how good BD can potentially look =).

Oh yes please to Hamlet (1996)! Given that the DVD was only released 2 years ago, perhaps the existing transfer is BD-worthy.
