Close Encounters of Third Kind - Blu-ray Forum

I haven't seen this movie. It looks like the kind of movie that will show the power of Blu-Ray. Is this worth picking up on Blu. I plan on getting Blade Runner and the first Harry Potter. My question is should I get Blade Runner first or close encounters

I would say go for Blade Runner, simply because Close Encounters has kept quite a lot of grain in the picture which you may find not up to what you expected (its still a million times better than the dvd version). Hey also welcome to the world of Blu

Oy...definitely a tough decision.

I have both Close Encounters and Blade Runner on blu and both are extremely impressive.

Personally, if you're a fan of the movie, Blade Runner would be my first choice. DVD never did this movie justice and it's simply an amazing disc (or...5 discs rather). The movie CAN be hard to follow though, so if you haven't seen Blade Runner, it may be a little hard to get into. Close Encounters is definitely a more straight forward story line.

Both are older films. I would have to pick Blade Runner simply because of the colors and objects found in it. Has more detail.

I have both BR and CE3K. They look great but are older movies. They are however key movies of teh Sci-Fi genre!!
