All three titles are deserving blind buys, Ron...purchase with confidence!!!Originally Posted by Ronald Epstein /t/323847/whv-announcement-driving-miss-daisy-mrs-miniver-grand-hotel-blu-ray#post_3976943
Just ordered "Driving Miss Daisy." Have never seen the other two offerings
and would love a recommendation for them if warranted.
...I mean, I suppose Best Picture says it all.

As a best picture completist, I have them all (on DVD). Mrs. Miniver does a great job dramatizing the British homefront during the outbreak of the war, but my only complaint is that, like many movies made during the war, it is clearly a "propaganda" movie meant to rally support for the war effort.Ronald Epstein said:Just ordered "Driving Miss Daisy."

Just preordered all three titles.
I must have watched Mrs. Miniver previously -- even
possibly reviewed it. I have an open DVD copy sitting
on my shelf.
You don't need to hope. Warner said they were putting AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS out on Blu in 2013 also, just no firm date.Originally Posted by Nick*Z /t/323847/whv-announcement-driving-miss-daisy-mrs-miniver-grand-hotel-blu-ray#post_3977263
Cannot wait for these to come out. Driving Miss Daisy should look amazing. It's never looked all that good on DVD. Mrs. Miniver and Grand Hotel are two of my all time favs. Would love to see Warner give us Around the World In 80 Days too. Hoping for too much?

@ahollis:
Warner NEVER said that! Post a link to prove your (false) claim.
From the Lou Lumenick NY Post article:ahollis said:I had it listed here, but I'm not going to make it that easy. Go back and read the thread Lou For You in the DVD Forum. He has a link to one of his articles where he talked to Jeff Baker from Warner Brothers about their plans for their 90th Anniversary.

Thx for posting this quote,PaulPaul Penna said:From the Lou Lumenick NY Post article:
"[Jeff] Baker [executive vice president of theatrical catalogue for Warner Home Video] indicated that Warner will be 'converting a lot of films to Blu-ray next year' as part of the studio's 90th anniversary celebration 'including five best picture winners that have never been on Blu-ray' He didn't name those titles..." (Emphasis mine.)
Lumenick then goes on to list the nine unreleased-to-BD Best Picture Oscar winners that Warner either owns or has licensed, one of which is Around the World in 80 Days.
