I finally got a Blue-Ray player and might go buy a few movies, what are some good ones

note: I have a 1080i rear projection tv and I have the player hooked up with component

Blu-Ray*

also, anything Pixar.

1/3/2010 6:52:32 PM

The same movies that are good on DVD are good on Blu-Ray.

1/3/2010 6:52:42 PM

There Will Be Blood

1/3/2010 6:52:44 PM

blew-raie

1/3/2010 6:54:06 PM

^^^yeah but what movies show off the Blu-Ray's superior video capabilities

and will I even notice with 1080i rear projection and component cables

1/3/2010 6:55:01 PM

Cars is pretty awesome on blu-ray.

Anything with big effects. Iron Man comes to mind. Blu-Ray is the shit...lets see, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, i'm drawing a blank and they are all downstairs.



my personal rule is that i buy most of big action/drama movies in blu-ray. Comedies and things like that i continue to get on DVD since they are dirt cheap.

Test it out with a good action flick and check for blurring.

Are newer movies like $30 a pop on Blu-Ray? I was hoping to get like 4-5 for $100 but maybe I'm setting my hopes too high

But normally I just download flicks for free so I might as well test out some new shit

1/3/2010 6:58:02 PM

Dark Knight

1/3/2010 6:58:05 PM

I've seen both Dark Knight and Ironman on good quality DVD Rips but I think they're good enough to possibly buy

1/3/2010 6:59:22 PM

really depends on what tv you actually have.. i haven't looked at projection LCD's in a long time but they weren't that great picture wise last time i looked

i just got a 1080p LCD

need to get something like a WD TV Live so I can stream all of these blu-ray rips to it though.. right now the only HD i'm seeing is via TWC

oh yeah,

Star Trek is the bomb on Blu-Ray.



Check out Best Buy's weekly mailer. Each tuesday along with new releases they put a ton of blu-rays on sale. You can get some really good, and new, titles for 9.99-14.99.

I watched a Blu-Ray for the first time last night. It was The Hangover, and it was pretty incredible how clear it was (this was on a Samsung LCD - 1080p).

1/3/2010 7:02:15 PM

cool, thanks yall, i'm off to Best Buy if they're still open

1/3/2010 7:03:23 PM

Star Trek

1/3/2010 7:08:27 PM

Just a note... if the movie was made more than a few years ago, odds are it doesn't look much different on Blu-Ray than it does on DVD. There are some exceptions for high-profile releases that were actually restored prior to encoding. Newer stuff looks great though.

1/3/2010 7:09:35 PM

if you want a good laugh, watch Terminator 2 on Blu-Ray. the scenes where the robot/machine guy gets shot - looks like big balls of aluminum foil on his chest when you watch it on BR

Will be out on DVD and Blu-Ray on the 12th.

1/3/2010 7:14:55 PM

I bet Saving Private Ryan would be a really good Blu-Ray

1/3/2010 7:16:44 PM

Although luckily my DivX copy of The Hangover has half the credits cut out so I never saw the entire photo reel

1/3/2010 8:05:08 PM

YES!!
I, too, am relegated to a 1080i projection tv and I bought Planet Earth on Blu Ray even before I owned a player because I got a ridiculous deal on Cyber Monday from Discovery.com where they had it for only $25.00 (normally $99.99) It looks absolutely amazing.

1/3/2010 9:56:57 PM

Transformers prolly looks good on Blu-Ray.

1/3/2010 9:58:37 PM

ive got it on hd-dvd (same quality basically) and it looks great, and that was on a 56" tv (transformers)

1/3/2010 10:20:06 PM

the second version of the Fifth Element
planet earth
the matrix

etc

bets on how long till lucas re-re-re-releases Starwars I-VI in Blu-ray with original cuts and 're-edited' cuts?
