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."

  1. 5th Element a Classic? by Thanatopsis · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The film was released in 1997. It hardly qualifies as a classic.

    Does the 4 year difference in release between The Fifth Element (1997) and Blackhawk Down (2001) really mark the difference between a classic and a modern film?

    I would wager that no single movie has had more digital releases than Fifth Element. From normal DVD to Bitstream to other special ediitons, it seems like a new version arrives about twice a year.

    It's all about supply & demand...

    Demand = see Milla's boob flashes in higher and higher resolution.
    Supply = re-re-releases.

    Just imagine how much improved this post would've been with HDTV links, and it's easy to explain what you're observing!
