\"godfather300\"A slew of classic titles get star Blu-ray treatment this week, like The Godfather, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week is Oscar nomination week, so apparently Hollywood decided to ride that theme for the releases on Blu-ray disc as well.<\/p>\n

Several Academy Award winners in the Best Picture and other categories are arriving, either as first-time appearances in the high-definition format or remastered double-dip efforts that we hope offer a little more than the first time around.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into some classics, this is a great week for you to purchase that Blu-ray player and see these films in their most pristine detail yet on home video (a couple we\u2019ve seen on HD DVD, but here they are again).<\/p>\n

Paramount has given its \u201cSapphire\u201d treatment to the first two movies in Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s Godfather trilogy, meaning the restoration should be improved and the extras should be plentiful for those two Oscar winners of the early \u201870s.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the number 70, that\u2019s the anniversary edition of Gone with the Wind. The timeless classic is presented in its traditional 1.37:1 aspect ratio, but also handed a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack to go with a Dolby mono version. Casablanca, which already looked pretty stunning on HD DVD, also goes Blu this week.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s more recent classics you\u2019re into, iconic directors Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood offer up Gangs of New York and Mystic River, respectively, in the format. We\u2019ve seen \u201cGangs\u201d before, but it came with lackluster reviews regarding the video transfer, so hopefully this remaster went through more HD rigors.<\/p>\n
