Would love to see The Right Stuff on bluray.

Very happy that Once Upon a Time in America/the West were just released.

The Abyss. An early James Cameron movie if I recall.

This movie made no sense to me when I originally saw it (on Laserdisk) but finally saw the Directors Cut and LOVED IT!!

Nice list. Another old 'Noir I'd like to see is 'Out of the Past', beautiful movie.

Looks like The Right Stuff is now 2012.

'The Hustler' is already on Blu-ray; since last May.

Citizen Kane is now out, and in Digibook packaging, which I like!

What do you mean by Digibook packaging.

John

What do you mean by Digibook packaging.

It's a single-fold non-clasp cover/container, rather than the standard Blu-ray case. The front cover is often cardboard with better cover art.

Sorry for the large size picture, but it shows better what is included in that set.

* Steve, 'The Hustler', the cover picture that I just posted on the previous page
is a DigiBook Blu-ray case (post #9).
-> It looks more like a book (cardboard cover & paper pages) than a regular blue Blu-ray (transparent plastic) case.
...Less boring, more appealing, a more 'cinematically professional' attractive packaging.

Thanks Bob

I understand and have many such as these but never knew what it was called

 

[rsbeck]

See there? This is edu-tainment!

 

[NorthStar]

Yeah, DigiBook = more attractive packaging with pictures & notes inside just like a book.
...A small one though, and with just few pages.

* And we know how busy John is at moderating over at Blu-ray Forum, so...
