This is a thread dedicated to we the physical media collectors and the films & television shows we most want to see released on Blu-Ray/4K. So please contribute and if you see a movie on here that you know has been released in some part of the world, please make note of it. I am region free and I would certainly recommend going region-free to anyone who doesn't like be locked in.

Curtis Hanson A Wedding/1978 dir. Robert Altman Heaven Can Wait/1978 dir. Warren Beatty Mother/1996 dir. Albert Brooks The Straight Story/1999 dir. David Lynch
The Abyss/1989 dir. James Cameron

For whatever reason, True Lies has never been released on BD. I'd love to see that fixed. (Nitpick: the R in Blu-ray isn't capitalized )

Can't take that long to photocopy the Pocahontas script and change the names Another one I'd like to see, even though it's a pretty flawed movie: Titan A.E.

I'll second True Lies and add:
Freaks (1932) After Hours (1985) Death to Smoochy (2002)
And on a related note, can we please get Dawn of the Dead back in print in Region A? You need to take out a second mortgage to buy Anchor Bay's decade-plus old release on eBay. Even Arrow's version is OOP now.

I'd like to Stargate: SG-1 on Blu-ray. Some of those early seasons could really benefit from the graphical improvement.

The Straight Story has been out in Europe for a while - I've had the Italian for a couple of years. The Limey came out just this week in Germany.

The guy who owns both Dawn and Martin is quite infamous in demanding insane money to licence it. It's not been feasible for anyone to pay it BUT Second Sight in the UK have a deal for both titles to come out next year and not just that, Dawn at least will also been on UHD (which of course also means it'll be region free) - I'd imagine some US distributor must have gone in on that deal with them just as Severin and Second Sight did on The Changeling so keep your eyes open on news about a very, very big deluxe Dawn set in the new year.

Aw, I figured it had to be something like that. Thanks for the info, I'll be watching like a hawk for it. I can play import discs so region locking isn't a big deal if that ends up happening.

Yep, been on Amazon UK from Studiocanal for a week or two - really exciting news. Freddie Francis' monochrome cinematography in 4k will be amazing.

Ahh, did not know that - had only just seen that article the day I posted it. Very exciting! Sounds like there’s no Region A release planned, but I gather 4K discs aren’t region-locked anyway so I’ll probably just hit up Amazon UK.

Oh, you wouldn't know if you didn't follow UK announcements so no worries - it's the news stories that are behind not you! Yes, UHD discs are all region free Though the bluray disc included will almost certainly be region locked as Studiocanal almost always do that. I have the old digibook bluray from SC of The Elephant Man and even that looked really good so I can't wait to see it looking even better. I think you've had a good idea that we can maybe also use this thread for particularly exciting blurays and 4Ks that are announced and upcoming.

I've used vouchers on this already so it'll cost me the princely sum of £3.53.

Master of the Flying Guillotine. Classic kung fu cheese, I'm surprised like Arrow or something hasn't picked it up already.

The Man Who Laughs (1928), starring Conrad Veidt. This is a truly great film, in the public domain, but it had only a limited DVD release and partial restoration.
Current viewing options are limited to used copies of the DVD for sale on eBay at extortion-level prices, or resign yourself to watching a grainy version on YouTube.
