What BR disks are you excited about being released?

I am not always up with the know on what is being released in BR, especially some of the older movies. What BR movies are you excited about being released? What should be released? What have you watched that has been out in BR that is worth seeing?
I am excited about Chunking Express and getting BFI Salo (that is if it is true it will work on a PS3).

Also Striptease for obvious reasons. Demi was in outstanding shape for that movie. Shannon Tweed in HD would be nice to. All the Marbles with Peter Falk was pretty cheeky to.

Dr Zhivago.

Running with Wolves.

The original 'Italian Job'.

Finding Nemo has been on and off release date lists for some time, no word about Max and the incredibles being released at all. All I use is online sources, Hidef digest, forums etc..

Remastering movies for BR release costs money and I'm sure they weigh the projected sales numbers Vs. that cost. All the movies I mentioned minus maybe Mad Max would sell with no problesm, Star wars and Indy would be crazy, lines around the stores I would think. I don't buy many BR's but I would buy the Star wars and Indy series.

Pinocchio Blu-ray: 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition:
The 3-disc Blu-ray edition of Pinocchio not only packs in all of the supplemental content from the standard DVD (in high definition no less), it gives fans access to a slew of exclusive extras including a Picture-in-Picture video commentary, BD-Live interactivity, and more. Like the highly-rated Blu-ray release of Sleeping Beauty, Disney really pulls out all the stops to produce a remarkable collection of special features.

* Exclusive Cine-Explore Feature: The opening volley of Pinocchio's excellent supplemental package comes in the form of a Picture-in-Picture video commentary. Animator Eric Goldberg, Leonard Maltin, and J.B. Kaufman discuss the film, its impact on cinema, and its lasting influences while original storyboards, stills, and archive footage appear on screen. It's a high-quality presentation that remains engaging from start to finish.
* Audio Commentary: You can also listen to Goldberg, Maltin, and Kaufman's informative commentary in a more traditional manner by disabling the PiP option.
* Exclusive BD-Live Interactivity: BD-Live users will discover four bonuses to enhance their viewing pleasure. Movie Chat allows you to create text-based viewing experiences with friends, Movie Mail gives you the opportunity to distribute personalized voice messages that have been superimposed overtop of pre-selected film clips, Movie Challenge is a competitive trivia game that runs alongside the movie, and Disney Movie Rewards Live gives you activity-based points to use to redeem content like Avatars, downloadable extras, and more.
* No Strings Attached (HD, 56 minutes):
* Deleted Scenes and Alternate Ending (HD, 11 minutes):
* Deleted Song (3 minutes): An audio presentation of "Honest John," a song that didn't make it past the cutting room floor.
* The Sweat Box (HD, 6 minutes): A look at a small screening room in which animators anxiously presented story reels, rough animation, and dailies to Walt Disney himself.
* Live Action Reference Footage (HD, 10 minutes): Silent archive footage of reference material used by various Disney animators. Bits of narration give each scene context and explain how facial expressions and everyday objects were replicated in the film.
* Pinocchio Art Galleries: Eight extensive galleries are home to hundreds of production stills, concept art, storyboards, drawings, design work, and reference photographs.
* Geppettos Then and Now (HD, 11 minutes): An exploration into the evolution of toymaking over the years.
* Disney Song Selections: A karaoke-esque subtitle track that places lyrics on the screen along with the film's songs.
* Music Video (HD, 3 minutes): A video for "When You Wish Upon a Star" with singer Meaghan Jette Martin.
* Pinocchio's Matter of Facts: A pop-up trivia track that includes dozens of factoids and production notes about the film, the original children's story, and the animators who brought it to life.
* Exclusive Pinocchio Knows Trivia Challenge: An interactive, multiplayer trivia game.
* Trailer Gallery (SD, 5 minutes): The only standard definition extra is this trio of theatrical trailers.
* Pleasure Island Carnival Games: A series of interactive arcade games.
* Pinocchio's Puzzles: An interactive puzzle game hosted by Jiminy Cricket.
* Bonus Standard Definition Copy of the Film: Don't have a Blu-ray player in every room of the house? No worries, Disney has included a DVD disc for kids' rooms and other household TVs that don't have that high definition sparkle.; ▶ Reply to This
