I looked around the forum and could not find a dedicated thread to bluray and DVD realeases...so here it is :)

I'm no HD maniac, but I just got my hands on a copy of RAN by Akira Kurosawa, and this is typically the kind of movies that fully benefits from the wonders of an HD transfer.

Also worthy of being mentionned by the very same director (well all of his period movies are definitely worth being mentionned, in fact all of his movies :) ): Kagemusha

Also, after much wait, the magnificent Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick is out at last since May:

Even more recent and equally enjoyable: the man who would be king by John Huston is out in June.
