Blu-Griffin · 01-30-2009, 05:11 AM

I got my first 3 Blu-Ray movies in today. 2 in the mail, and one from the store.

I am Legend
Cloverfield
i,Robot.

Can't wait to watch them, i had a look at the quality for a little bit. Looks awesome! Think i am going to be hooked on buying them soon

Good choices on I Am Legend and I, Robot. They both look and sound fantastic.

Didn't really enjoy Cloverfield when I saw it in theatres, but I have heard it is a high quality bluray!

Enjoy and welcome!

If you've got a decent sound setup Cloverfield is a really cool experience.

Twankies08 · 01-30-2009, 06:47 AM

What an awesome start up collection!!
Welcome to the family!!

Blu-Griffin · 01-30-2009, 07:02 AM

Blu-ray is only HALF enjoyed unless you have a really good surround system. Until you can enjoy the full power of uncompressed audio, it will be like having X-ray vision and being deaf. (Don't forget to add a sub-woofer as well). WELCOME!

Very good choices. You won't be disappointed with those (video/audio quality wise anyway) - I also liked the 3 movies movie wise myself.

Blu-Griffin · 01-30-2009, 10:11 AM

Just got done watching Cloverfield. Damn it's awesome! The quality is amazing, after watching it on normal dvd over 5 times, you see so many things clearer and notice things you haven't seen before. Amazing.

Twankies08 · 01-30-2009, 10:24 AM

I STRONGLY recommend "Sunshine"!!!
Its one of the best looking blus!!!

Blu-Griffin · 01-30-2009, 10:28 AM

I've been wanting to see that. I'll put it on my "too buy" list

The sound on Cloverfield is 70% of the movie. I use this as a demo for sound, and 2001: A Space Odyssey as a demo for picture.

Congrats and welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of Blu-Ray.

If you have a wife though i recommend you prep your self some divorce papers

thorthefifth · 01-31-2009, 12:35 PM

There are so many great movies out there it's insane. I recommend:
Serenity (my all time favorite movie)
Firefly the Complete Series (one of my favorite TV shows of all time)
Anything by pixar
Superbad (my first bluray I bought. been a while)
Wanted is great if you're into it. Bourne's also.

Blu-Griffin · 02-01-2009, 02:21 AM

Thanks for the suggestions.

I just finished watching I Am Legend. Loved it. Need more Blu-Rays!!!!

Dexter Morgan · 02-01-2009, 02:38 AM

Let me recommend some from my personal collection..

Band of Brothers - There are multiple threads as to why this is the greatest BD out right now - enough said.

The Dark Knight
3:10 to Yuma
American Psycho
The Rock
Transformers
Ratatouille
Planet Earth
Crank
Batman Begins
Rambo
Sleeping Beauty

Just be careful though... I thought I could control my spending, but not even close. The Hot Deals forum is downright deadly to your bank account. Have fun!

Blu-Griffin · 02-02-2009, 06:31 AM

Thanks for the lists of movies. I will be sure to pick some up, when i have some more money that is
