Thanks for the threadcrap, Jack.

Vol. 3 is pretty good though. Of course, I already have them individually, but if these are cheaper than buying them separately it's a good deal.

Adam Tyner

Eh, I don't completely disagree with him. There are some good movies in there to be sure, particularly in that third collection, but Swordfish and Phantom of the Opera have no place in a box with the worst "best" anywhere on it.

I could come up with a couple of boxed sets' worth of Warner's current releases that aren't in any of these collections.

Look, you can hate the movie all you want (and I do), but POTO has some of the best sound I've heard yet on an HD-DVD.

Supermallet

Blazing Saddles, The Departed, Goodfellas, and Superman: The Movie are all awesome.

- Paramount Home Entertainment will bow Flashdance on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc on Sept. 18 (prebook Aug. 7).

- By early 2008, Warner Home Video will bow some of the first made-for-DVD titles, horror movies The Rest Stop and Sublime from its Raw Feed label.

- On top of more variety going forward, studios also are planning to rally around summer theatrical blockbusters when releasing high-def catalog. From Warner, look for the first two installments of the Ocean’s franchise to street in high-def, when the latest sequel, Ocean’s 13, heads to disc this fourth quarter. Also, many of Warner’s Harry Potter films will be released on high-def timed to the home entertainment bow of July theatrical Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Ok list...I would have expected to see a couple big titles for the holiday season, but maybe we will see some.

Also, The Kingdom looks really good (if its the Jamie Foxx movie), so I might snag that one too.

Adam Tyner

'Tis.

Mr. Cinema

Inside Man finally has a release date. I'm glad to see Tremors on the list as well.

QuePaso

Its just a rumored list from The Digital Bits. Hes been wrong on a few titles on his previous Universal list, so who knows how accurate it truly is.

Skoobooz

Actually, these lists from Universal have been surprisingly accurate. A title might change dates here and there, but I wouldn't be surprised if this list turns out to be correct.

Mr. Cinema

Also posted in The Rumor Mill, The Blu Bits says Disney is getting ready to announce a 10/23 date for The Rock and Con Air.

bunkaroo

Dammit, where's Crimson Tide?!? 5 months late and we only get 2 of the 3 delayed titles.

Maxflier

I am so pumped.
Timecop is #1 on my wishlist of movies I want on HD DVD, I hope it is true!

naitram

Man there's hardly anything on that list I would buy, let alone watch again. I really hope they have some bigger titles coming than that.

At least I'll have time to catch up on the stuff that's already out.

Skoobooz

Notting Hill, About A Boy and American Pie will be mine. Maybe Inside Man. Hopefully there will be a few more things before the end of the year (The Office: S3 maybe?). I wouldn't turn my nose up at American Pie 2, Uncle Buck, Wet Hot American Summer, Reality Bites, Parenthood, Office: S1 & S2, and/or Casper (not to mention big ones like Jurassic Park, BTTF, ET, etc.).

rexinnih

Sold my SD version of Crimson Tide in anticipation. Come on Disney!

Giles

I can't wait to see Legend in HiDef!

lotsofdvds

Weird Science? That's an odd first choice for a John Hughes movie in HD...

I'm guessing because it has effects? They hope it'll look good in HD? Because if the transfer is lousy its only going to make the movie look that much worse.

Giles

I would have assumed that most of these Universal titles have been seen on Universal's HiDef Satellite channel... right?

DVD Josh

Isn't the first Hughes HD movie Breakfast Club?

lotsofdvds

Yep, my mistake.

movieking

I did a search in this thread, so I apologize if this has been answered, but is Black Snake Moan HD-DVD a combo?

matome

It's Paramount, so it's not a combo. Warner & Universal do combos.
