    I don't own a blu ray player, cause I grab HD rips. But I really felt like buying one the other day. Just because Amazon had a one day sale of Band of Brother's for $34.99.

    Damn... I didn't jump on that...

    While the movie itself has been clowned by many, Speed Racer is incredible in HD. It's psychedelic and the colors are mind blowing. The movie isn't perfect, but really the visuals more then make up for it and I think in 30 years it'll be a cult film. It's my favorite BluRay in terms of visuals.

    Another I was impressed with was Blade Runner. That 5 disc set really looks great. The restoration or improved transfer etc... was done properly.

    Layer Cake

    Good movie.

    Ehhh movie.

    But, I'm sick on the couch right now, watching The Limey, and THIS is a good movie.

    blu ray>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HD

    I dont know how exactly to explain, i didnt think theyre was really a difference, i thought it was the same. I was mistaken, boy was i mistaken. I've had a blu ray player (ps3) for 2 plus years and just this month i finally rented a blu ray disc, wow man, i was blown away. Though i imagine the tv makes a difference (i have a 1080/120hz lcd)

    believe the hype

    Speed Racer looks amazing on Blu-ray. It was the first one I saw and none have come close. HOWEVER, the dialog and acting is so cheesy it almost makes it not worth it.

    I have heard really good things about the Godfather films, that the restoration they did with the film for the Blu-ray film was top notch. Haven't seen them yet though. I don't own any Blu-ray DVDs, just have the upgraded Netflix for an extra $1 per month.

    Sound like something id smoke to, turn down its audio,and create my own score.

    Not that I disagree. But a 1080p rip is petty damn decent. Watching a 1080p rip of Planet Earth on my 1080/120hz lcd is awesome.



    Shit many people are happy with a good upconverting DVD player now.



    Oh... and my pick of top must have Blu Rays is

    Planet Earth narrated by David Attenborough (Don't get the one done by narrated by Sigourney Weaver)

    I think that's what the Wachowski Brothers were intending. For really little kids, acid casualties, and people lighting one up. Mute is the only way for the latter.

    Disney are starting to rerelease their old movies on Blu Ray now.
    Sleeping Beauty, made over 50 years ago looks incredible on Blu Ray, Pinocchio is due March with more to follow.

    Couple more I got recently that look the shit, No Country for Old Men, Shoot Em Up, Hellboy 2, There Will Be Blood.

    I havent got it on Blu Ray but I do have 2001: A Space Odyssey on HD DVD, probably my favourite Hi Def release to date

    Peter Jackson needs to Lord of the Rings on Blu Ray asap

    It's an animated kids' movie but the best looking movie I've seen on Blu-Ray is The Wild
