First Blu experience, what to get? - Blu-ray Forum

scoobiesnackarff · 09-07-2007, 11:06 PM

Hey guys,

Just bought my first HD TV, its the Philips 47inch ambilight. I also have a PS3 and just received my HDMI today. What should I get for my first blu-ray experience? That one movie that will scream out "welcome to the new generation"? My wife and I enjoy adventure, horror, comedy. What would you recommend??

PoTC 1 and 2 or some of tha animated movies.

Casino Royale, Pirates movies, Road Warrior, Fifth Element, and Hellboy are all good movies with great picture. Road Warrior blew me away with it's age and how awesome it looked.

Kingdom Of Heaven
The Patriot
Apocalypto

Also I just finished watching The Shooter, and thought it was pretty good.

even though its paramount the shooter is a good film, and 300 is brilliant for HD

Casino Royale
Kingdom of Heaven
The Prestige

If you want a kids movie get Happy Feet or Open Season, those two really look great.

POTC 1 and 2
Kingdom of Heaven
Black Hawk Down
The Departed
Casino Royal
Shooter

300

But really it should be a movie you've never seen. Then you wont get bored one bit.

Anything mentioned are great. 300, POTC, 5th Element.

If you really want to go on a ride, 5th Element or Total Recall.
Monster House is a sure win for the whole family.

If you like flame, GHOST RIDER. Ultra

If you get 5th element remember to make sure you are buying the REMASTERED one and not the original release.

POTC 1 & 2
Casino Royale
Hellboy
The Prestige

Can't go wrong with any of those.
