What S.E. Dvds would you like to see come out

[HeavyFknMetal]

I'm sure this has its own thread somewhere but Im to damn lazy to find it. As far as movies that are out now that I think deserve Special Editions I would have to go with

The Last Boy Scout
All The Presidents Men
Casino (which is finally coming out thank you)
Ronin
Braveheart

I could go on and on but I figured I would just name a few and see what other people want.

[cocksmokinclerk]

american pschyo (which is hear is coming out anyway)
lock, stock, and two smoking barrels (mostly for a better picture)

[JurassicMik]

I've been waiting for WB to release a decent version of Blade Runner on DVD.

Amen. I was thinken the same.

[HeavyFknMetal]

I totally agree on that Blade Runner comment. I've been waiting for WB to also release a shit ton of other special editons.

*deep breath*
Beetlejuice
Below
Big Trouble In Little China (I know there was one already out but I don't feel like tracking it down and paying extra $$ knowing Fox will release another S.E. anyway)
Cat People (1980)
Child's Play
Bride Of Chucky
Dark City
Darkman
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Edge
Equilibrium
Frailty
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Ginger Snaps Trilogy (especially some kind of D.C. that would make the 2nd one better)
Hero (2002)
Kill Bill
Lost Highway
The Road Warrior
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (Maybe Warner could buy the rights for Mad Max from MGM and make a 6-disc box set)
Mullholland Drive
Neverending Story
A Perfect World (1992)
Poltergeist
Pumpkinhead (I'm sick of that crappy pan&scan transfer)
The Ref (really pissed that they took off the commentary for the single-disc release)
Robocop
Shaolin Soccer
Soldier (1998)
Star Wars Trilogy (yes, I'm one of the people that was dissapointed with the extras)
I think that's all...

[Misanthrope]

Lost Highway. Doesnt even has to have any extras at all, just a good transfer with the correct aspect ratio on region 1 would do.

[Toshirô]

American Beauty
American Psycho
All the President's Men
The Big Lebowski
The Color of Money
Rio Bravo

[B1rd_Po0p]

Ghostbusters.

It has to be Blade Runner. This movie has 2 versions and loads of stories around it so where is the special edition? The original DVD (which contained a crap picture) has now been deleted in the UK so I'm clinging on to my copy until WB come to their senses and release a special edition.

I second that!

[bluesbrother965]

Robert Altman movies ('twould be great if criterion picked up the player, nashivlle, mash, etc.)
David Lynch Movies
Stanley Kubrick movies (except for Spartacus)
Coen Brothers movies
Sydney Lumet movies
Billy Wilder movies
Mel Brooks movies
non-criterion Alfred Hitchcock movies (except for North by Northwest and Strangers on a Train)

All these directors (except maybe Altman and Brooks) are in my top 10, real shame that most of their movies lack a solid dvd. On top of those:
The Killing Fields
The Excorcist
All the President's Men
Chinatown
The Maltese Falcon
The Big Sleep
Deliverance
Ocean's Eleven (Soderbergh version, criterion should pick it up and make some sort of boxset)
Airplane
Blues Brothers
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Sting
The Conversation
Cool Hand Luke
City of God
Many, many others. Some of these might have s.e.'s already, though.

[dyevin]

my first thought is 21 grams.

Wow, you're really limiting yourself there. So that means no The Godfather or Citizen Kane?

You guys are really coming up with some good ones:
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Blade Runner
Beetlejuice
Big Trouble in Little China
The Big Lebowski
The Color of Money

How about...

This is one of the few movies with "Leo" that I can actually watch. Basketball Diaries is another one.

Despite liking this movie I have never really been a big Billy Bob fan. But I recently saw his Actor's Sudio interview and I was converted. There was a part in the interview when they were talking about Sling Blade that James Lipton asked Billy Bob if he could do a little bit of the Karl character and Billy Bob reluctantly obliged. It was an amazing but eerie transformation. You always hear actors talk about "tranformation" in acting. Well, Billy Bob turned into Karl right before my eyes and I am now a Billy Bob fan, mmm hmm!

Alrato!

I'd like to comment on some of the suggestions

There's no need for a new Ghostbusters DVD. The original disc is a Collector's Edition packed to the brim with features. 6 years after it's release it's still an absolutely stellar DVD and beats the hell out of most discs released now. Although it's currently OOP.

Blade Runner is getting a new SE release later this year, so you can quit yer bitchin about that one. Sling Blade also is getting a SE this summer.

The Exorcist already has a fine SE. The 25th Anniv. DVD is great. 75min. doc, two commentaries, deleted scenes, trailers, etc. Quite great.

12 Monkey's is already an SE with commentary and a 90min. documentary, with fine picture and sound quality.

Big Trouble in Little China already has a 2-Disc SE, though it's OOP. Should be able to find it online or used perhaps.

Big Lebowski is getting a SE in a few month's. Although likely it's going to suck ass since it's Universal that their relrelease of catalog titles has been shitty (Dazed and Confused, Half Baked, etc)

Remember guys just because a disc isn't a 4-Disc affair ala LOTR, doesn't mean it isn't already a fine SE. ;)

Okay, enough of commenting on ya'lls needs and wants, most of which are pointless.

A while back I woulda said I wanted SE's of Fistful of Dollars and Few Dollars More, but those are coming out this year, so scratch that.

I'd like an SE of Superman II. With 5.1 audio, remastered picture, commentary by Donner maybe, a documentary, etc. I think they probably will since the new Superman flick is comin out next year.

Also a Conan the Destroyer could use a Director's Cut SE. There's a lot of footage deleted from that flick that would really help it.

The one that pisses me off the most is The Frighteners. The LD had a 4 Hour Doc. and hours and hours of footage. Universal needs to release a 3-Disc set! The A/V on the current disc is fine, so no real need to update that, but throw in all those extras, they're already produced, all you need to do is convert them over to DVD. It's so fuckin simple, it angers me that we haven't got on yet. I love this flick to death and it deserves it. I think it'd be a smart move finanically since Peter's made LOTR and become the new Spielberg. Also a Dead Alive SE'd be nice too.

[Mattapooh]

The Road Warrior is definitely a big one

I'd love to see Richard Linklater's subUrbia get a nice SE treatment if it ever comes out on DVD

I've always said Malcolm X and I got that a few weeks ago and I'm very pleased

I'm also very, very much looking forward to the Leone SEs that are coming out this summer

Falling Down
Dog Day Afternoon

I think Before Sunrise and Before Sunset definitely deserve something better than the bare-bones treatments they've gotten, I'd love to see these with commentaries by Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy along with documentaries and such.

[MacReady]

A Clockwork Orange
The Road Warrior
The Fly ('87)

Man, I can't believe The Day After Tomorrow gets a super-big edition after it's great first release just a few months before while it looks like we're never gonna see an acceptable copy of the above films.:(

[iluvgrizzlebees]

The Warriors
The Goonies
Monster Squad(hell i would buy a bare bones edition if i could find one)
Last Of The Mohicans(i think this should be on criterion)

[TheAxeGrinder]

Well, if Warner would get off their asses and give us a proper version of Blade Runner, that'd be great. The same goes for Paramount in releasing a proper SE for Beavis & Butt-head Do America. After that, gimmie boxsets for The Real Ghostbusters, SE for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I to III and Transformers: The Movie. Enough nostalgia for you 80's kids?
