I am the kind of person who loves old movies more than new ones and the bottom line is I have seen some very good Blu-ray transfers and some really bad ones. The Warriors, for example, is the best PQ I have ever seen for a 28 year old movie, with Untouchables and Black Rain being close seconds. Paramount really knew what they were doing when transfering old movies onto Blu, kinda makes me miss them more (their audio was a whole different story though).
I really want to get Robocop on Blu-ray but I am worried MGM didnt do a good job on it, the reviews arent to good (then agian the Black Rain reviews werent to good either but I got it as part of the summerBlu-ray offer) and every MGM Blu-ray I have rented so far has either looked terrible (The Terminator) or barely passing for "High Definition" (Rocky). I have seen a few MGM titles and none of them have ever looked good.
Can anyone here who has seen Robocop please compare it to the other old movies I mentioned? Is robocop as good as Warriors, Untouchables, Black Rain or closer to the likes of Rocky and Terminator? Or can anyone name a good looking MGM BLu-ray.
Also if anyone else can recommend some good old movies with amazing PQ, I'm always open to suggestions?

I like older movies as well and thought black rain transfer was great. I also own robocop.. the origional dvd was very bad... the blu ray was much better but isn't going to win any awards... bottom line if you like old movies and you liked total recall you will like robocop.
as for reqs. i assume you have already seen terminator, leathal weapon 1-2. (leathal weapon 1 had a lot of dirt in it). trading places and coming to america.
some of the really old movies look great too.. haloween was great. best was 2001.
