Your want/prediction list for 2011 (1 Viewer)

[RolandL]

Ben-Hur


The Ten Commandments


Raintree County


3-D films from the 1950’s in Blu-ray 3d


3-strip Cinerama films in the smile-box process


Also, I would like to see the following films (promoted as being “In CINERAMA”). They don’t have to be in the smile-box process. They should have 5.1 sound too.


Holiday in Spain


Mediterranean Holiday


The Golden Head


La Fayette


The Flaming Years


The Black Tulip


Custer of the West


Krakatoa East of Java


Song of Norway

If the Blu-Ray release translates our new master as well as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, viewers will weap (with Joy this time).

Until they formally announce release dates that is all I can say.

I would say the most recogniable opening sequence in 70MM would be "The Sound of Music" which is already on Blu-ray....so my second guess might be "West Side Story"


Frank Jenks said "a new scan of a title that rightly deserves" a new scan. In other words a title that has already been scanned (and released on Blu-ray) to an unsatisfactory standard. Patton was an unsatisfactory Blu-ray and Patton has a particularly memorable opening sequence and was an Oscar-winning movie.

 

[dana martin]

a beautiful presentation of Patton would be most welcomed, if that is it

 

Another clue is that he said "viewers will weep (with joy this time.) "This time" meaning they wept for disappointed reasons the last time.

Actually he wrote "viewers will weap (with Joy this time)." One might conclude that capitalization of Joy is a clue, but not a clue that I get. Then again Frank misspells 'weep' so I guess not much should be made of it. I would agree with Greg that the opening of The Sound of Music is the most famous opening of the 65mm Oscar winners. However, I would never use the word "epic" to accurately describe the film.

 

[dana martin]

70 mm epic, that makes people weep, fox is still doing MGM disc, could this possibly be George Stevens The Greatest Story Ever Told, that would be amazing on blu before easter

I Believe Robert Harris mentioned the possibility of "Patton" getting a new transfer recently. Yes "Patton" does have one of the most famous openings of any film and done right we might just weep with joy this time (I thought he was referring to a new transfer of a film not on Blu-ray but a fix for "Patton" seems much more likely) "West Side Story" is supposed to also come out in 2011.


"Greatest Story Ever Told" - not until MGM get's back on it's feet

 

[dana martin]

greg, do you have a copy of CCBB, i hear rave reviews of it, MGM/FOX did that

 

[GMpasqua]

"CCBB" best looking catalog title released to date. See the thread on it - most people agree it looks great

THE TOWERING INFERNO

[Richard--W]

I want westerns on Blu-ray.

Especially 1950s and 1960s westerns.

Particularly John Ford and Anthony Mann and Delmer Dave and Budd Boetticher westerns.

 

[MatthewA]

With the passing of Leslie Nielsen, I'm hoping Paramount will do something with Airplane! and the Naked Gun trilogy.

 

[dana martin]

well if we were to compare what is being released internationaly, and if it could find it way to the states it could be a great year for catalog titles

The funny thing is, I already have it. I guess I am compelled to type THE TOWERING INFERNO every time I type THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE.

To go along with Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, how about finally releasing Kill Bill : The Whole Bloody Affair next year? I know, I know, hell hasn't frozen over yet.


Love to see some Lynch films on Blu, especially Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart.


Early Hal Hartley films - Unbelievable Truth, Trust & Simple Men.

At this point I think we have a better chance of seeing the original versions of the Star Wars Trilogy on blu-ray than we do The Whole Bloody Affair.
