Since it's become painfully obvious that the following movie will NEVER come to DVD (been screaming for it for years on deaf ears it seems) i'll be the broken record again and say i'd love to see The Saint of Fort Washington come to BD.

An excellent drama starring Matt Dillon and Danny Glover about the homeless that seems to have disappeared off of the face of the Earth. :confused:

There are a lot of films I would like to see on blu-ray. One in particular is Titan A.E. and if I had that, I would jump immediately to the ice field scene 2/3 of the way into the film.

Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? ( that's another film I'd even settle for on DVD but has potential to look great in Blu.)

Lord of the Rings extended always tops this kind of list for me.

I'd also love to see more "travel" blu-rays. The economy is keeping me at home, but I could really enjoy a blu-ray trip to foreign parts!
