OK, in an effort to find some much needed humor, here are ten titles that will surely be popular considering recent sentiments shared in the "Poll" thread - although they might not be bought.

I couldn't pick just 10. Movies are like potato chips; no one can eat just 10.

 

[Chris_kirk]

This is not a complete list, but two films I'd love to see in the best resolution possible are Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.

Eventually I'd love to see the Star Trek and Star Wars films.

 

[DanR]

The Star Wars Saga
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Jurassic Park
Braveheart
Gladiator (2000)
Batman Begins
The Rock
The Mummy (1999)
The LOTR Trilogy Extended Editions
Aliens

12 Monkeys
Star Wars (all)
2001
Sound of Music (in full DTS)
Pixar's "The Incredibles"
The Lion King
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Bourne Identity
Bourne Supremacy
LOTR Trilogy

MattCR,

don't forget you get lossles high-res audio so no need to even worry about "full DTS"...try lossless 24/192!






Then list them all!

My 1080p film fantasy involves not so much individual titles (though there are those), but studios getting picture, sound and extras uniformly right the first time across the board, thus eliminating the necessity to buy these titles again until a 4k viewing source comes out.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

After seeing Hello Dolly in 70mm...It's *very clear* just how much these "1080P" transfers have to live up to. Let's hope these studios don't muck it up with filtering and electronic processing artifacts...ugh!

 

[Ricardo C]

After a disastrous "Narnia" screening yesterday, I look forward to seeing it on BluRay, if and when it comes out. It will probably be the first time I see it "properly", despite having seen it on (out of focus, banged up, dim) film twice.

 

[Edwin-S]

Your enthusiasm for all this stuff runneth over, but what good does lossless 24/192 do for most people. Another upgrade is required in order to access it. In my particular case that means throwing a receiver that cost thousands onto the garbage pile, and then the TV on top of it. I suppose I might be able to access a facsimile of it through the analog inputs which were meant for a DVD-A or SACD player, but there is no guarantee.

 

[BrettGallman]

Are there any receivers available yet that can even do all of the new high-res audio formats? I don't recall seeing any yet.

 

[Edwin-S]

I think I read, somewhere around here, that an HDMI version 1.3 connector would be required for full lossless audio. I do not think that any present receiver has that connection. I would expect it to start showing up on higher end receivers pretty quick, so the CE companies can soak enthusiasts once again with non-upgradeable equipment.

 

[RobertR]

In the AVS thread about the Pioneer BR player, it's being said that DTS will not allow full lossless audio to be decoded in the player, but DD will.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

In addition to not belonging in this thread (moderate yourself please) this is 100% WRONG. You can watch and listen to future HD-disc formats on your current hardware and they will look and sound better than DVD. That's true if you own an NTSC 4x3 TV and have a pro-logic reciever. There is no reason to complain. Upgrade your hardware when you're ready and can afford an even better improvement.

Back on track in this thread. DO NOT DEBATE THE MERRITS OF HD MEDIA. Just the movies you'd like to enjoy.

 

[Paul_Scott]

i would love to see beautiful HD versions of these two as well. they are not films that are high on my consicousness at any given time, but in all honesty, i think i might actually enjoy things like this more than my 'favorites' because unlike my favorites, i haven't re-watched them to death yet.
and in the case of YOLD, the current dvd is nowhere near being state of the art. a lot of room for improvment even in standard definition. i can just image the kind of spell that film could cast in a sparkling 1080p image splashed across a large screen.

 

[Ron-P]

- Edward Scissorhands
- Moulin Rouge
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy

[PattyFraser]

Seeing as how this is a total fantasty--

TPTB have gathered together Sean Astin, Dom Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and some new character to film the Old Forest, In the House of Tom Bombadil and Fog on the Barrow Downs scenes for FOTR and put them in a branching option. (Let me make sure I understand branching--this gives you the option of watching a chapter {s} not in the regular run of the movie by pressing a button and seamlessly inserting it in between existing chapters, huh?). I used to HATE the Bombadil substory, but due to my current reread of the book I begin to see how much backstory it actually does give. Even Viggo's "King" is foreshadowed here and could get a part without lines. I'd love to have the option to insert this, and see it all continuously in glorious 1080p.

In this scenario "God" would have to be PJ, I guess.

I would add to this fantasy:

1. Babe (love the pig movie!)
2. Fanny and Alexander (can you image the marionette scene in HD?)
3. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (the flying scenes, oh man!)

 

[JulianK]
