Am I THAT predictable?

 

[Moe Dickstein]

lol, simple math: Liz + Beautiful Large Format + Unreleased = Raintree County

I have brought this up a couple of times previously in some other threads, but this is as good a place as any to bring it up again...

For me at the moment, I would have to say Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days.

Come on, Fox... make it happen for Region A finally! And make sure to include the excellent original teaser trailer.

Yeah, great soundtrack to that one too

Romeo & Juliet (Paramount, 1968).

There are a million. Leaving out the titles that I'm almost certain will be out in the next 12-18 months (THE ABYSS, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA, SORCERER) and the ones you can get in Region B (I'm looking at you, Hammer titles), I'd have to go with the Steven Soderbergh triple bill of KING OF THE HILL, THE UNDERNEATH and especially THE LIMEY.

 

[Walter Kittel]

At the time of its release, I thought that the DVD release of The Limey was quite well done in terms of conveying the film's cinematography. A Blu-Ray release of this fine film will (I expect) look extremely nice. (I've already made my pick, but this is pretty high up on the wish list. )

I'm throwing one more in because, well... I can. MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON is an extraordinary epic directed by Bob Rafelson that has been duly ignored by everyone, particularly its distributor, which is currently Lionsgate. The DVD is non-anamorphic and it's a bloody shame that Lionsgate completely drops the ball in terms of handling (or licensing) its back catalog. I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

I didn't add this one cause I figured it was "cheating" under the guise of one title.Or is there a loophole for "movie sets that go together"...???

In that case I'll swap Crimes and Misdemeanours for The Wood Allen Collection.

By the way, I did order Pillow Book. My GF read the plot(and some reviews) and goes...

"A bi-sexual Ewan....where's the CC*..."

*Where's the CC wasn't a question...

Romeo & Juliet (Paramount, 1968).

I'm sure you're aware of this, but Romeo and Juliet is available on Blu-ray in several European countries.

 

[ABaglivi]

The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) in the original 138-minute version. Contrary to IMDB and other sources, it was not cut to 128 prior to release. I have seen the 138-minute cut.

I wasn't aware of it, no, but I should have looked. I'll have that region B bou-ray in a jiffy.

I second Romeo and Juliet in its correct aspect ratio. The vhs and dvd versions over-cropped the image.

 

[John-Weller]

For me, definetly Huston's Moby Dick, but Romeo & Juliet is another great choice!

 

[Scott Burke]

Prince of Egypt, hands down.

Romeo & Juliet (Paramount, 1968).

This one's out in Germany, if that is of interest.

I am still waiting for a lot of the early DreamWorks animation to get released on Blu-ray. I'm surprised that they haven't done a better job of supporting their catalog of animation that pre-dates the inception of Blu-ray (with the exception of Shrek of course.)

I think I've got to pick The King and I.

That's the one HD disc I have found myself wishing on a number of occasions I could put into my player and watch on my 55" Panny plasma.
