My favorite decade for cinema is the 1950s. I honestly believe it's the greatest decade of films. So whether you agree or not, what are your MIA films from that decade that you think can benefit from a blu release? Here's mine:
Boy On A Dolphin (1957) Sophia Loren and Greece compete for attention. Sophia wins! Alas an anamorphic transfer has never seen the light of day on standard DVD. It's up to blu to pick up the ball.
High And The Mighty (1954) It took years for the grandaddy of airline disaster movies to reach home video. Hopefully it won't take that long to go blu.
Ivanhoe (1952) Knights, swords and damsel in distress. The best of the 50s swashbucklers.
The Long Hot Summer (1958) Please?
No Down Payment (1957) An excellent ensemble drama about the emerging Suburbia. Never even saw a standard DVD release.
Pajama Game (1957) Jean Luc Godard's favorite musical could use some spiffing up before its transfer to blu.
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954) One of the greatest musicals ever made. The current DVD is a colorful transfer but it could use some tweaking.
Some Came Running (1958) Vincente Minnelli's masterpiece is crying out for an HD transfer.
Summertime (1955) Even Criterion dropped the ball on this one. Bring on the blu!
Written On The Wind (1956). The standard DVD courtesy of Criterion is a gorgeous transfer. The extra clarity and depth a blu could give can only heighten the viewing experience.
