Favorite movie not on Blu-Ray?


Pick only one, the one film that makes you worry about physical media becoming obsolete before you get an HD disc.

Mine is Wonder Boys (2000).

I've got several:

The Abyss
True Lies

(C'mon, James Cameron and Fox, what's the deal???)

Memphis Belle (Mathew Modine, Eric Stolz, et al, about the bomber in WWII on her 25th and final, dangerous mission)
Hooper (Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jan Michael Vincent, Brian Keith, et al, about Hollywood movie stunt-men and the havoc their dangerous exploits wreak on their bodies and their relationships)
Pink Floyd-The Wall (Alan Parker's screen adaptation of Pink Floyd's epic landmark album about Floyd lead singer Roger Waters' screwed up life)
Star Trek-The Motion Picture-The Robert Wise Director's Edition

And last but certainly not least, favorite movie INCORRECTLY TRANSFERRED FOR blu-ray:

Raiders of the Lost Ark

I'm not really worried about physical media becoming obsolete, because I think there will always be a "collector's mentality" that will always create a place for it, but I am concerned about the studios' lackadaisical, lazy attitude toward releasing these titles. They could make a lot of money off them!

Can I add two?
Both are kinda obscure, I doubt most have even heard of them, let alone seen.

Miracle Mile(1988): A surreal, love story set in the time frame of one night against the backdrop of a nuclear attack, with a grim ending. A treat of a film and it deserves a release.

After Hours(1985): A Martin Scorsese film, hence it is bound to be better known than the aforementioned Miracle Mile. But compared to his other films, hardly mentioned and talked of. Again a surreal, taking place in one night kind of cinema. Well shot, well enacted and fantastically written.

I have a dream: I want more and more people to see such obscure, yet utterly fascinating features. I have a whole list of such films taking place in one night, occurring in sunny, lush sunlight, strange characters, surreal circumstances etc etc. So, if I ever come into a position where I can afford to produce and distribute older films I'd have a 3 in 1 or 5 in 1 discs released with certain similarities. These gems cannot be lost to time.

To Rishi85

You can add Adventures in Babysitting, Judgement Night and Cohen and Tate as films taking place in one night that deserve a Blu Ray release.
