Live poll: Classic Movies That Should Get a Real 3D or VR Conversion

Quo Vadis

Psycho

@Breumaster​ I hope I get the right “Quo Vadis”. It has been filmed a few times. Let me know if it is the wrong one. That story is epic and a Roman spectacle. I got the book and the film made in the 50’s.

@dgranger​ 

... with Peter Ustinov. ;D ... Exactly!

@Breumaster​ okey

@riverotter​ did I add the correct one? Fantasia 2000 is pretty good too. Damn, now I wish I didn’t limit myself to 3!

@ACT_1​ I saw that to when I was a kid. I remember Poseidon raising up out if the water and that blew me away.

hey wait, that’s four! Which one of the other 3 you want off?

@dgranger​ 😀

let someone else suggest it

.

@ACT_1​ okay. Someone_Else(fake) suggested it. A genetic phony account people can use for this poll only!

@dgranger​ 😀

Poseidon was protector of seafarers,...

Not a suggestion ...

The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069113/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069113/reference/

The SS Poseidon, a trans-Atlantic passenger steamship
slated for retirement, 
is making its way across the Atlantic 
from New York City to Athens on its last voyage

is pushed to her limits by the new owners to save on the dismantling fees.
A tidal wave hits her, flipping her over 
so that all the internal rooms are upside down.

@Pencho15​ it is rephrased. 
sadly I would have delete the comments for the ones I posted because I knew why they would look good in 3-d. I had ask for people to include a brief description why the film would look good in 3-D, but sadly they didn’t. I had asked for it in the description. I was going copy and pasted their reasons into the notes. I can’t know their reasons why they picked what they picked. I’m not a mind reader. The only one I could figure was Act_1’s by the pictures he had posted. So Jason and the Argonauts is going to stay.

but here is a secret. I know 2001 is going to look fantastic in Real 3-D because I pulled a cheap trick of taking a set of 3-d glasses - right side was shaded while the left side was clear -  (that came with a video about rollercoasters in 3D) (the shaded lens holds up the image for a fraction of a second while the clears let’s the image go through without hindrance and you mind combines the images) and it worked. The space station sequence, running through the space ship, and approach to Jupiter looks awesome in 3D .

@Jessica​ the changes in the description are done. I’m trying to shorten the title but I can’t use the one proposed because, as worded, with the word “Converted” being in the past tense with out another before it to modify it into a future tense, it would imply that these films were already have been “Converted” into 3D. That is not what I’m asking. I’m asking what films you would like to see get the conversion. Or, in other words, should get the conversion. 

@dan_dassow​ working on it. But a I can’t use the proposed title because it is in the past tense when what I’m asking for requires the use of the future tense.

@dgranger​ ,

Your updated title is fine:

Classic Movies That Should Get a Real 3D or VR Conversion

@Pencho15​ okey, it is gone.

@dgranger​ 

I would also omit this line from the intro:

"Personally, for me, 3D is not about things jumping out of the screen at me. It is also the depth that makes it immersive for me."

Okey.

Thanks.

@Jessica​ sorry, I had to do a quick edit in the description on this page because it didn’t match the description on the list page. Now they match.

@Pencho15​ the changes are done. thank you.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

TheOldJalapenoman, I don’t like them. I LOVE THEM! Ben Hur is my favorite film of all time!!! But I do have a bit of a thing with quoting the title because “Ben Hur” is not the whole title on the film or the book. It is “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ” on both the film and Wallace’s novel. 
The others are great films and I agree with you on why they would be great for 3D conversion. May I add the attack on the train, and the final shot of Lawrence through the dirty window of the jeep.

 So, feel honored because I rarely ask for repush, but I’m going to ask for one here. Your three suggestions are added on.

Some things you may not know about Ben Hur: a Tale of the Christ:

The book was written by Lew Wallace, who was a civil war general for the North.  He was later the president of a railroad and then the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey.  After that, he was the territorial governor of New Mexico.  He is the governor depicted in films such as Young Guns who at one time offered a pardon to Billy the Kid, and then died without any evidence of this pardon being granted.  Lew Wallace Elementary School is about four miles from my home in Albuquerque.  I have often thought that there should be a biopic of this man considering everything he accomplished in life.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ except for the part about “He was later the president of a railroad and then the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey.” I did know most of that. I also know that there was a moral crisis in his life that led to trip to the holy land and the writing of “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ”. You can detect it in all the conflicting themes in the book that tear Bsn Hur apart and rebuild him back together again.
