Which films are you most looking forward to getting on Blu-ray?

Whether they have been announced or not, which films are you anticipating owning in glorious HD?

For me it would have to be:

Back To The Future Trilogy
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Star Wars (I suppose I'd have to get ALL 6 to complete the collection)
The Matrix
Raging Bull
The Godfather Trilogy
Batman Begins
Alien / Aliens
Band of Brothers
Batman / Batman Returns
Gladiator
Kill Bill
The Sopranos (complete collection)


Any others?

Well pretty much what has already been mentioned, but one that has a release date that im most looking forward too is master and commander, this is going to be the best sounding blu-ray im sure.

The obvious ones (especially Star Wars & the LOTR) plus some more obscure ones:

Time Bandits
13th Warrior
Highlander

I wonder if they will ever appear

The seating distance thing is quite annoying. Yeah it looks great from 20ft away.. so does my ex!!!. Grain is the best way to see that you are getting a good HD image. Use it to callibrate your equipment...

Star Wars Collection ("All of them"...).
Indiana Jones Collection.
Star Trek movies.
War of the Worlds
Alien movies.
Twister.

No disrespect to stuff like Valley of Elah etc. but it's time the Studios stopped pussyfooting around with "B" movies etc and get some real big blockbusters out there.
