Blu-ray Movies Announced!
Finally we’re starting to get an inkling about what kind of Blu-ray content will be launched with Blu-ray players this year. Here’s a list of some of the initial Blu-ray titles. I’ll try to find a complete list when available.
Sony
- Hitch
- The Fifth Element
- Legends of the Fall
- House of Flying Daggers
- The Bridge on the River Kwai
- Black Hawk Down
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula
- Desperado
- For a Few Dollars More
- The Guns of Navarone
- A Knight’s Tale
- Kung Fu Hustle
- The Last Waltz
- Resident Evil: Apocalypse
- Robocop
- Sense and Sensibility
- Stealth
- Species
- SWAT
- XXX
Fox
- Fantastic Four
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
- Behind Enemy Lines
- Kiss of the Dragon
- Ice Age
Lionsgate
- See No Evil
- Lord of War
- The Punisher
- The Devil’s Rejects
- Saw
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day
- Reservoir Dogs
- Total Recall
- Dune
- Rambo: First Blood
Paramount
- Four Brothers
- Sahara
- Aeon Flux
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
- Mission: Impossible 1, 2, 3
- The Italian Job
- Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
- U2: Rattle and Hum

So what do you think? Are these titles buy-worthy?
Interestingly, two of Sony’s titles will be 50GB dual-layer, to be released in the summer: “Black Hawk Down” and “The Bridge on the River Kwai”. So much for 50GB BD discs being ghosts!

Its a shame that Bluray is going to be so ridden with DRM. Not like many people want to copy Stealth or Hitch, but come on, let people back up their movies. I’ll wait for them on HD-DVD

That Dune isn’t the original but it is the Dune Miniseries (based on the pictures of the Blu-ray covers at CES). That means it is 295 minutes long and only on a single layer disc? This could be a real test of the encoding quality for longer movies on a single 25GB layer.

If they don’t use MPEG2 encoding it shouldn’t be a problem.

Apeman are you such a cheapskate that you cant afford to purcase another blu ray disk for viewing ?
if you can afford to have a computer that reads bluray or a blu ray player in your vehicle im shure you can spring for a 30 dollar movie.
i dont see anyone complaining about how they cant backup their Xbox 360 or PS3 games
What a doofus
its people like you that keep our formats and technology from progressing leaving us at a standstill
