Brand new player with no movies...help

[DarrinC]

I love action movies. I'm a fan of Die Hard, Bond, Spiderman, Pirates, and the like. I wonder if anyone has an opinion of whether I should buy the blu-ray version of any of these movies since I have seen them all several times...If yes, which do you think is the best...should I start with these of something else of the same type.

Thanks.

start with something you know you will enjoy. just get what you like best. then blind buy later. blind buys can lead to disappointment. i have all you listed and the best ones are live free die hard and potc

All the ones you listed are definite upgrades compared to the DVDs.

Go with Pirates, as a Die hard Disney fan, Disney is great with their BDs

[krazeyeyez]

although not the best blu's the old die hards look pretty good to me (just got the collection last night), but i never owned them on dvd so last time i watched them was on vhs.

Casino Royale and all 3 Pirates are great choices.

Like the person above me, I had the Die Hard movies on VHS when I was a little kid and never got them on DVD. So the upgrade was huge.

So would you recommend the Die Hard collection, or would I be better off just getting the lastest one? I will get potc for sure.

Thanks Krazeyeyez, I'll probably go ahead and get the collection since I haven't seen them in a while anyway.

some are not happy with the transfers of the early movies. i have live free and with a vengence the 3rd one. best pq and sq i would think its live free

Just dont spend too much money on movies now because 5/20 and 6/3 are two huge dates blu ray wise. Unfortunatly my wifes birthday is 6/4

[GeneD5]

I would HIGHLY reccomment casino royale...that was the first blu that I watched when I got my player and I couldn't believe how great it looked.

[Psychonaut]

300 and Kingdom of Heaven were my first two. Both are recommended.

Where can I go to see what's coming out that far in advance?

live free or die hard was my first and has a HIGH recommendation. i also say shoot em up.

[ManUtd]

Start with the Tier 0 titles you're interested in this link then go down the list. Enjoy!

[Hrly687]

cant go wrong with casino royale, live free or die hard, and i robot. i also strongly recommend pan's labyrinth, sunshine (STUNNING), and no country for old men, but not everyone is into those

[Psychonaut]

Oh yeah I forgot about Sunshine. Very purty movie. Wear sunglasses.

[Minimejer05]

Get the Pirates trilogy for sure! Amazing films.

I must admit this totally sucks. While there is no need to give away five free movies at this time (I didn't get 5 free, either) I at least got Blackhawk Down in the box when I bought my first player. That was a fine example of HD video and audio. I think it is still early and uncertain enough to include a freebie in the box with new BD players.
