Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-pick-one-and-run-with-it dept.

JorgeDeLaCancha writes "Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment have recently announced the release of the first titles on the Blu-Ray media coinciding with the Blu-Ray hardware release in the spring. Some of the films to be released include classics such as "The Fifth Element" and "Robocop" to more modern films such as "Black Hawk Down." Other corporations, such as Fox, have announced similar plans."

    I think that this might be the first time that anyone, anywhere has called Robocop a "classic."

      Not to mention the first time anyone other than Luc Besson has called The Fifth Element a classic.

      Heh, you guys beat me to that punch, but I also chuckled at the words 'more modern' between 1997's Fifth Element and 2001's Blackhawk Down.

      Retract that comment. You have 20 seconds to comply.

    I can only wonder if Robocop was filmed with decent quality equipment. . .

    It's called "film."

    It's very old movie - it was made in 1989.

    It's called "recent."

    Isn't it kinda like putting .mp3 files on DVD audio disc?

    It's called "capacity."

    It doesn't make any sense.

    Ahhhhhhhh, it's called "troll."

    Robocop does have some fuzzy 2FPS model fx shots. In modern terms, the other robot looks like crap.

    It would be interesting if it was digitally redone or something

    Yeah, great idea... and while we're at it, why don't we colorize Citizen Kane, dub an audio track for City Lights, and maybe add some nice CGI skeletons in to Jason and the Argonauts...

    How sad. It's like movies will have to take public transit instead of riding in their own deluxe collectors edition cases.
