What classic Warner Bros only films,do you want to see get a Blu-Ray DVD release for ?
Keith
films that you greatly admire, would you most love seeing get a
special edition Blu Ray DVD release, because of the fact that each
title mentioned hasn't yet got one and/or because you were hugely
disappointed with the standard DVD release it got (if any title named
even got one). Please separately say why, for each title mentioned.

It has already been digitized because there is an HD DVD release of it.
So, it is very likely already on Warner's list, as most of the HD DVD
library has been re-issued on BD by most of the studios.

A pretentious posting by a teacher wannabe. What are you going to do,
Keith, grade us on our reasons why? Blu-ray is Sony technology, so
you can expect it to become worthless, replaced by new and better
technology. Sony, which two years ago had a potential recall of 25
million SD DVDs it released with extreme copy protection (the DVDs
would not work on many DVD players as a result) likes Blu-ray because
it is hard to copy and not worth the trouble. Earlier BD players had
problems playing some BD DVDs because the owners had to get upgraded
firmware to handled changes in the copy protection software.
Across the board, Sony puts the consumer second as it tries to protect
its so-called intellectual property. I have a Monopoly CDROM with
SUREROM software that put a rootkit in my computer, which I could only
remove before a lawsuit against Sony forced it to put a removal tool
on the Internet.
An upconverting DVD player hooked to a flat panel display via HDMI
input is good enough. And a lot cheaper.

It's a playback system that allows you to watch "Greed" or "Prospero's

DVDs that are made from these VHS originals. If I find a $2 used VHS
of a movie I've never seen -- and in NYC thousands are available --

Hard to copy? The multi-million dollar protection scheme -
which was/is supposed to be self adjusting when "cracked" has
been cracked since about 4 weeks after the first disc came to
market. The entire movie/TV industry, this time led by Sony,
has poured megabucks into the pockets of Y2K programmers who
quickly learned the staggering value of selling to fools what
fools want. And, unwittingly, more megabucks into the pockets
of a few programmers who simply make fools of the others
repeatedly.
And what does any of this do for the consumer except raise the
price of the product?
Real pirates, mostly on foreign shores, have to be pursued
politically as before.

This is certainly not limited to "early" devices. No Internet
connection, sooner or later you'll find a disc that won't play.
Internet connection - then a few minutes or more after insertion
and update you'll begin to see the mandatory adverts and
trailers pop up to play before you can watch the content you
think you own i.e. "leased," or rented.

Pioneers in any era pay prices that those who follow do not.
We're rapidly getting to BD players with jane and joe consumer
friendly purchase prices. While many Blu-Ray discs are pricey,
compared with their DVD counterparts, many others are becoming
more reasonable.
To suggest that Blu-Ray is not better than DVD, though perhaps
marginally vs. upconverted SD or HDTV, is specious. It's the
perceived degree of improvement which is debatable, as well as
the value in dollars of that degree to consumers.
Clearly you perceive no benefit in BD to your own video
enjoyment. Others, including myself, do. Some, also including
myself, have become HD biased and avoid SD whenever the better
alternative is available.
As to the subject, I've no idea what titles are produced by
which Hollywood (or independant) producers. Although I
recognize many of their logos, I certainly quickly forget them
while appreciating the content. Maybe the only release I now
recognize as being from FOX is "Star Wars," because for years I
thought the FOX intro music was part of the "Star Wars" sound
track :-( I still get sucked in, when a FOX film is starting at
home, that I may have played "Star Wars" instead of what I'd
intended.
Films, from whatever producer, which I'd like to buy on Blu-Ray:
Fiddler on the Roof
Cabaret
Cyrano de Bergerac (hopefully a well restored version)
Hard Candy (although the DVD, without upconversion, was
pristine)
Singin' in the rain
Willow
The African Queen
Bagdad Cafe
Angel Heart
Back to the Future trilogy
Dangerous Liaisons
The Day of the Jackal
Barbarella
All Fred and Ginger flicks

I'd like to see nice widescreen (Blu-ray) versions of some of their full

Ricochet and Spies Like Us.
I'd like to see Blu ray upgrades for Empire of the Sun, Demolition Man,
Heat, The Devil's Advocate (with the images unblurred), Little Shop of
Horrors (with color alternate ending), The Neverending Story 1 & 2, Time
After Time, Supergirl, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Stay Tuned. I want
any existing special features ported over and new special features created
for those that don't have any.
I'm not sure if it's a Warner Title or not (I think they held the rights at
