Dario Argento is considered the Italian version of Alfred Hitchcock - a real cult favorite. Ralph Bakshi is known for his 1978 animated adaptation of LOTR and the 1976 fantasy/scifi animation Wizards. I might get The Final Countdown - one of the better scifi/time travel films from the 80's. These guys seem to be excited by this news: http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread.php?t=56523 [ + quote]

*Originally posted by six60six:* hey dipshit, where does bollywood come into play here? are you that daft? good to see some hd argento coming out. too bad suspiria isn't on the list. Suspiria - Argento's masterpiece. Hopefully in their next list of releases. [ + quote]

Well, i heard about Suspiria... hopefully it comes out on Blu-ray (i think i might have it on dvd or somewhere). Anyhow, as for the movies mentioned in the article, nope, never heard of them, but if there are good reviews, i'll watch them. I don't think any country is too stinky to make good movies. I do have issues with pollutions though :( [ + quote]
