I've been waiting for Lionsgate to get this f**ker out.

My thoughts exactly. Good film, but I'll never watch it again.

This will look a-mazing...if Lionsgate doesn't f*** it up.
YES!! Newly remastered. Lets hope it looks awesome. Ive been waiting for this.
Probably the most depressing film I've ever seen, just tops Leaving Las Vegas and Dancer in the Dark in that respect.
Not the film that you wanna watch over and over again, but I'll get this BD for it sheer brilliance, but not sure when I will give this another spin. Oh also I'm glad waited and didn't get the Canadian BD straight away.

This will look amazing but I just don't think I'll be able to bring myself to watch it. Excellent movie. Bought the DVD on release, watched it once. Put in on recently and just couldn't find it within myself to watch it.
A truly amazing film, one of the two best movies I've ever seen. It's definitely not a flick that craves a rewatch 
Fantastic film. Really kind of wish that it ended five minutes earlier though - right at the peak of when it becomes hard to watch. The thought of the Jennifer Connolly scene's near the end of the film in Blu Ray scares me more than the idea of Cannibal Holocaust on Blu Ray.
My favorite movie. Buying it, haven't seen it in a couple of years.
Strangely, I still have yet to see this movie, but I've heard so much about it being one of the most utterly F-ED UP films of all time....
Glad they stuck with the original art work. Also Directors Cut yes!

You haven't seen many then. This film has tons of replay value in my book.
I too am glad that its the Director's Cut, I only got the Rated DVD edition

WTF is up with you man? How do you even know how many I have seen? Requiem is up there as one of the most depressing for many people, not just me.
And I didn't say that it doesn't have replay value. I'm just saying that it's too depressing to see it over and over again. Same goes with films like The Elephant Man, Grave of the Fireflies, I Stand Alone, Irreversible, 21 Grams, House of Sand and Fog etc.
Seriously, Lee. If you keep this s**t up, annoying people around you over and over again and it's only a matter of time until you get ban here for life like you did at HDD.

Requiem for a Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Narcolepsy cure on tap.
Still, Jennifer Connelly, eh? EH?!!

I wish Lionsgate would get around to getting Hard Candy out on BD soon. Great, disturbing film with a cinematography that deserves the HD treatment.
I got the Canadian BD, and once again, I'm extremely suprised with the audio and video presentation. Alliance Atlantis has done a complete 180 in terms of thier DVD and BLU RAY releases. I hope they keep this up (and the prices are amazing!).
