Well that depends what you mean.
Do you mean best movie locked to Region B that you can't get in Region A?
Do you mean best movie regardless?

Braveheart is a wonderful movie available in Region A and B.
It is Region B locked and apparently has different audio and aspect ratio
than the Region A locked Sapphire series version.

You can always decide for yourself by visiting the below site.....

I don't own these but will probably import in the future. The reviews are very good and they look amazing transfer wise

Baraka

Eden Lake is Region B locked and one of the greatest looking and sounding Blu-Rays out there, in my opinion.
Martyrs looks great too.

I am not sure if it's region B locked, but The Spirit looks absolutly amazing on Blu-ray!

BIGLAD · 11-26-2009, 07:53 AM

Taken.

GunZenBomZ · 11-26-2009, 02:27 PM

It'll alway's be the film they decide to update after you've already brought it on bluray. Just to make sure you know you & I are the little people & also to piss you off to the center of your core.

Mobile internet 3g dongles & i-player type thing is the future. Solid medium is actually just pissing me off.

I predict the same fooking farse with 4k films, oh look they have made a newer version of blah dee blah

It's down to opinion, you can't ask a whole bunch of people and expect one answer, you would need to check for yourself, but then I can't see anybody buying every single Region-B Blu-Ray just to see "which one is the best", you can look online at reviews until you're blue in the face, it's a matter of personal opinion.

If you mean which are the best transfers or quality, some are better than others, one person could claim a specific movie is perfect, whilst another might pick something out about it they dislike.

Such a question is not possible to answer since there is an infinite possibility of answers, unless I'm missing something.

Perhaps you meant what ones are the best, as in favourites?

perkolanesi · 11-28-2009, 11:13 AM

Must have:
Star Trek (2009)
Quantum of Solace
Casino Royale
Taken
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
TCC of Benjamin Button

The cover of the UK version (which I have) states that it's region free...

I also have a BD-rom drive, so eventual I can verify it.

There are lots of great movies available now on Blu-ray with the PQ to match. However if you're talking about PQ alone then I would say Baraka which is stunning in HD, but it isn't a movie in the traditional sense. If I'm going to show someone a Blu-ray disc then Baraka is my go-to disc as it has lots in stunning images rich in HD detail.
