Movies We Want on Blu-ray

As I’ve said before, some movies were just meant to be seen in high-def. And while a lot of older flicks have already been converted to Blu-ray, there are still a few holdouts.

Well we, the citizens of the BLOCKBUSTER Online Content Team, will not stand for it any longer. We are drawing a line in the sand. Today, is our Independence Day. We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore! Attica, Attica!

Sorry, I got a little carried away there. Anyway, here are some of the movies I think are most deserving of glorious Blu-rayification.

Star Wars
I don’t really care about episodes I-III, but the fact that the original three movies are not on Blu-ray (and are most likely not going to be anytime soon) gives me a sad face, like this: :(

Alien
This seems like a no-brainer to me, especially because the awesome creepiness of the movie would be even better with high-def sound and visuals.

Indiana Jones
There are rumors around some dark corners of the internets that the trilogy will be out on Blu-ray by the end of the year. Crossing my fingers.

Jurassic Park
I just caught the last half of this on TV the other day, and it reminded me of how cool it is. It also reminded me to see if it was available on Blu-ray yet. Sadly, it’s not.

Saving Private Ryan
Well, this just seems un-American.

The Lord of the Rings
This is supposed to come out in November, but I’m just pointing out that it’s taking a long time because I’m a nerd, and we like to complain about this kind of stuff online.
