Top 15 movies not out on Blu-ray
Our list is starting to dwindle, but there are still some favorites that haven't been released yet on Blu-ray.
The long-awaited "Lawrence of Arabia" Blu-ray is due to launch fairly soon overseas, but there's no word on a U.S. release date.
(Credit: Sony Pictures)A couple of years ago, we had 40 movies on this list. But as new releases have arrived, we've gradually pruned the list, and today we're down to a mere 15 top movies that aren't out yet on Blu-ray.
Yes, there are several other great movies that still haven't gotten the Blu-ray treatment. And some we probably would have included were it not for the fact that they're coming out soon on Blu-ray -- "Barton Fink" and "Yellow Submarine," to name a couple.
But like I say with my top 40 must-have Blu-rays list, feel free to express your opinions, and if you have a legitimate case, I'll update the list with new picks (those who nominated "Schindler's List," sorry, I didn't add it, but if I had 16th pick I would have -- and it is set to come out later this year).
For the latest round we've dropped 10 movies because they've already been released on Blu-ray.The latest deletions:
"Ben-Hur," "Chinatown," "Deer Hunter," "Jurassic Park," "Pulp Fiction," "Rushmore," "Shakespeare in Love," "Star Wars trilogy," "Star Wars prequel trilogy," "West Side Story."
Now, on to our remaining Blu-ray wish list. The movies are listed in alphabetical order, and we didn't include any TV shows.

Editors' note: This post was originally published May 18, 2010, although we update it often. It was updated March 21, 2012, because we dropped 10 discs, shortening the list from 25 to 15.
