Nearly every movie that is rated highly on PQ is a BD50.

Keep in mind movie length, extras, definition of the extras, audio included, etc.

Ironically, I did not even pay attention to the OP's screen name... which makes my joke even funnier (Amir is REAL big on head phones... and has brought that up MANY times).

As to the OP's question, as I said, Disney has stated they felt that BD-50 allowed them to offer better picture, and Disney certainly gets rave reviews for their PQ on titles!

More room = less compression = better picture.

(yes there are more details but in a nutshell)

I just realized today that most Special Features are in Standard Definition, which isn't so good, but doesn't bother me too much but I'm sure they could have easily been in High Definition..

The important things is that a 50GB disc leaves room for extras and lossless audio on top of a high quality encode.

There is a sticky which shows movie size if you want to correlate movie size to some subjective quality rank:

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Black Snake Moan, MI-3, Alvin on BD-25 etc had better PQ than I am Legend, V for Vendetta, Juno, 27 Dresses etc which are on BD-50.

What exactly was wrong with Juno? That was a perfect transfer.
