"The Missing" with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett is a very good movie. Excellent acting. I look forward to it on Blu-ray. [Jim]

The Professionals is worth it just to see Claudia Cardinale. I always love Lee Marvin too.

Damn I was hoping to see Tombstone.

I really enjoyed the Missing. Broken Trail was OK. I wouldn't call it "legendary". I'll probably get all 3. Nothing like a western on a Saturday afternoon.

Wow I thought I was one of the only people that really liked The Missing. It had really good performances throughout the entire film, and the visuals were actually really good. I am looking forward to seeing it on Blu-Ray (and hearing James Horner's score in TrueHD).

I'll get both "The Professionals" and "Broken Trail" on Blu-ray. Burt Lancaster is always great to watch. And seeing him in full 1080p in "The Professionals" will be all the sweeter! And Robert Duvall proves time and time again to be one of the best actors ever, and that is why I'll get "Broken Trail" on Blu-ray!

this maybe an obvious question to some people, but why have sony decided to release Dolby true hd, instead of PCM?? Is true hd better?

Cool Love the westerns. Hopefully will get some more John Wayne movies on Blu-Ray at some point also?

Ooh, 'The Missing'--I saw that a long time ago. There's some good cinematography in this movie, which will always look good in HD.
