Which of these Blus should I get? - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 01-13-2009, 09:23 PM

Hey,

I'm on the Amazon, buy 2, get 1 free.

Here are my options:

3:10 to Yuma - own on SD
Usual Suspects - own on SD
Sleepy Hollow - own on SD
The Descent - own on SD
Disturbia - seen once on SD, liked it
The Fugitive - seen on SD, liked it
The Shining - never seen it
The Searchers - never seen it
Daredevil - own on SD
I Am Legend - saw in theaters, liked it, except for ending

So I need to choose 3. I'm looking mostly for top-notch PQ. Thanks.

3:10 to Yuma, The Searchers, and either Sleepy Hollow, Daredevil, or I am Legend

Per above I suppose, but also suggest The Shining.

assydingo · 01-13-2009, 09:32 PM

Sleepy Hollow - own on SD (the picture is what it should be but won't blow you away)
I Am Legend - saw in theaters, liked it, except for ending (demo material and the alternate ending actually makes sense)

Don't know about the rest

THE SHINING is incredible on Blu and A MUST OWN!!
The Searchers and The Fugitive!!

jsteinhauer · 01-13-2009, 09:41 PM

If you've never seen The Shining, it is a must see. It is one of the best horror/thrillers ever made. It's also Jack at his best.

Dr Praetorious · 01-13-2009, 09:42 PM

I am only putting my 2 cents worth in on one movie 3:10 to Yuma. It is in a nutshell a solid 4.7 to 5.0 all around, but the reason I like it and have aside from the movie itself is the 7.1 pcm sound track. It is a winner!!!

Canada · 01-13-2009, 09:44 PM

The Fugitive is probably the best movie on that list, apparently the Blu Ray was really bad, so I would rent it.

I did not really like 3 10 to Uma but apparently it has good if not great PQ and absolutly killer AQ.

Disturbia was quite good, I remember it looking really quite nice, and despite not being lossless it has a DTS track at 1.5mbps.

For PQ I would recommend:
Disturbia
I Am Legend
3:10 to Yuma

tacoreed · 01-13-2009, 10:00 PM

Usual Suspects, Descent, I Am Legend, Shining, are the only ones I would ever purchase.

owa · 01-13-2009, 10:04 PM

3:10 to Yuma
The Descent
I Am Legend

Eagle_23 · 01-13-2009, 10:07 PM

Were it me, I'd pick up:
3:10 to Yuma, The Descent & The Shining.

coolmilo · 01-13-2009, 10:07 PM

I recommend 3:10 to Yuma and I Am Legend. Disturbia is a good movie but it does not include the lossless audio.

cordillius · 01-13-2009, 10:33 PM

I Am Legend
The Shining
The Descent

Sussudio · 01-13-2009, 10:34 PM

edit: i'm changing my choices.

best pq (imo), go for: 310, the searchers, i am legend

best movies (imo): shining, usual suspects, searchers

nolook · 01-13-2009, 10:37 PM

3:10 to Yuma, Usual Suspects,The Fugitive, The Shining are ones worth owning IMO

Lightning Bolt · 01-13-2009, 10:43 PM

I Am Legend
The Fugitive
3:10 to Yuma (Haven’t seen it but it looks good.)

Usual Suspects is also a good movie.
