I'm actually considering the same for 21 Grams (to go w/ a couple other less expensive titles that are otherwise identical to the US version) since there are no rumors nor announcement for that one near as I can tell.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, because Best Buy had it on sale. Not as good as I remembered it being, but beautiful on Blu.

 

[JonZ]

Saving Private Ryan


Also plan on picking these up as soon as possible:


The Road

The Proposition

Toy Story (Picked up TS2 already)

 

[hampsteadbandit]

just got Guy Ritchie's "Snatch" on Blu


great film, very funny, and looks great in HD

 

[Heinz W]

I'm expecting Walkabout and Iron Man in the mail today, and I just ordered True Blood S2, It Might Get Loud, and The Fifth Element ($10.49!). All from Amazon.


Next up will probably be the BBC doc Life in early June.

 

[hampsteadbandit]

"Southland Tales" on Blu from a US supplier through Amazon


a film that many despise, but I absolutely love!

 

[hampsteadbandit]

today was a "good" day


I got to work, after my day off yesterday


and found 'Southland Tales' and 'Armageddon' both on Blu-Ray, waiting for me!


happy viewing tonight, but which to watch first?

I got the Alliance version of The Illusionist for $5 @ Future Shop (Also Blade Trilogy and Fanboys). Movie only disc, AVC encoded with DTS HD MA on a BD-25. This is not a movie that screams out for extras, so for the price I'm happy. First Blade is MAR (1.78:1), but the others are OAR. Again, no special features.


Most recent purchases: Fringe: S1, Chuck S1 & 2, Kingdom of Heaven DC, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the corrected The Fifth Element, which I got for $9.99. Fringe is great, lossy audio notwithstanding, KoH looks stunning for an MPEG-2 encode, and will be watching the others later this week.

Saving Private Ryan ($19.99) came in from Amazon.com last week, Band of Brothers from Amazon UK (under $29 delivered) on Tuesday (have watched one episode so far.) Today brought Blazing Saddles ($9.99) and Trading Places ($11.99) from Amazon.com. (Free shipping with Amazon Prime.) Also ordered Stagecoach from Barnes and Noble with the 20% off coupon code for $17 and change.

[Edwin-S]

The Alliance version of "Equilibrium" and I'm sorry that I did, even if it was only 10 bucks. The OAR is wrong and, at least to me, it looks filtered.

 

[hampsteadbandit]

"Apollo 13"


"War of the Worlds" (Spielberg)


"Flags of our fathers"

I just purchased the Criterion version of Stagecoach. It is about what I would expect, quality wise, from a movie that is over 70 years old. It had been many years since I had seen this movie, and had forgotten the WTF moment. One of the characters faints several times and appears to be ill. Near the end of the movie this woman gives birth to a baby. There was no attempt to even show her being pregnant. I guess that was the way the censors worked back then. And who in their right mind would be traveling by stagecoach when they were 9 months pregnant.
