RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
Highly recommend His Girl Friday(1940)
Bought if from a local monday market for £8.
Howard Hawk's newspaper comedy/romance based on the 1920s play,The Front Page remastered gloriously for blu ray.Great work from Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.Wisecracks and Hawk's trademark overlapping dialogue make this a true joy to watch and a sense they you are in the need room with them.
Extras :
The Front Page(1931)full movie
Documentary
Featurettes
Howard Hawks interview
Radio versions

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
A good pic for fans of director Takashi Mike,Black Society Trilogy(1995-1999)
I bought it from WHSmith's for £20.
Shinjuku Triad Society(1995)
Rainy Dog(1997)
Let Lines(199)
An ultra violent,shocking,weird but watchable trilogy from Takashi Mike.Also notable that as a trilogy there are no recurring characters and themes other than being films related to triad activities. Of the three,Rainy Dog is the strongest but all have moments of true brilliance despite a tiny amount of self indulgence.
Extras :
Audio commentaries(each film)
Interviews(each film)

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
Driller Killer(1979)
Bought if from a Sunday market in York for £6.
Abel Ferrara's exploration debut sees the director himself play a painter in New York finally snap due to the constant criticism he receives regarding his work,his mounting debt and the crappy punk band thst frequently disturb him.Fully uncut and still as nasty as when it was banned in the early 80s.
Extras :
Commentary
Documentary
Visual essay
Interviews

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
Highly recommend Metropolis(2001)
I bought the steelbook version from Granger Games for £10.
Created by screenwriter Katsuhiro Ôtomo,manga artist Osamu Tezuka and director Rintaro based on Fritz Lang's 1927 film.
The visuals are utterly jaw dropping on blu ray all backed up with the remastered soundtrack including Ray Charles' version of I Can't Stop Loving You.
