robbo · 05-06-2008, 11:05 PM

Im torn at the moment, having trouble deciding what to get. I know the films that everyone says 'looks' the best but in everyones opinion whats the standout all around good blu ray? What was your first blu ray purchase?

BRu-LAy · 05-06-2008, 11:10 PM

The Descent

Rabidhunter · 05-06-2008, 11:12 PM

My first was Across the Universe, it looks amazing, it's a great movie. But really, I would go for whatever your tastes are. Cars is a great all around Blu-ray, also Ratitoullie or the Pirates movies. All are very good Blu-rays. There are a lot of older movies already on Blu-ray too.

Black Hawk Down

wormraper · 05-06-2008, 11:12 PM

Underworld Evolution was my first. But there are tons of goodies out there. Visit the tier thread at AVS and just choose what you like out of Tier 0. you won't be disappointed.

Mine was Casino Royale and would recommend that. The Descent has v good pq if your in horror flicks. No Country for Old Men is a good choice too.

Casino Royale And Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl

DetroitSportsFan · 05-06-2008, 11:14 PM

I bought something like 15 movies at one time.

masob98 · 05-06-2008, 11:17 PM

Live Free or Die Hard. Awesome movie, I watch it at least once a week. But Im a sound guy and this movie hits it right on. The PQ is nice as well.

robbo · 05-06-2008, 11:18 PM

Wow thanks for the quick response everyone.
Well so far the mentioned films, Casino Royal, Pirates and No Country for Old Men was at the top of my list so thats probably where i'm heading towards...
I'm a picky person with choosing films...its a curse.

spotnick · 05-06-2008, 11:21 PM

My first was No Country For Old Men, and I can't recommend it enough.

Colglizity · 05-06-2008, 11:21 PM

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City...

Crème Blu-ray · 05-06-2008, 11:23 PM

My first was Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, followed closely by Apocalypto and Déjà Vu.

Link · 05-06-2008, 11:23 PM

My first three Blu-Ray's were "Hairspray", "Enchanted" and "Halloween" - Love them all! especially "Hairspray" - excellent sound and picture...but it's all in what you like.

Well yeah that's one of my new favourite films. And it did look and sound pretty damn spot on in quality. Thats the one i think, thanks alot all.
After that i'm looking foward to Zodiac: 2 Disc Directors Cut.

SkullPhyre · 05-06-2008, 11:41 PM

Mine was Car's and 300. If I were buying a first movie. Car's or Rattatouile for a cartoon. For AQ, ID4, I-robot, Live Free or die hard, most Fox movies have great sound. I believe all Fox movies use DTS-MA-HD. For PQ- POTC, Casino Royale, Live free or die hard, Planet Earth, Many more. Try this link it rates movies PQ.

I'd go with Ratatouille, as that's the complete package of everything. If you don't enjoy or appreciate animation, then you can't go wrong with 'No Country For Old Men' - one of the favorites in my collection as well.

Moefiz · 05-06-2008, 11:51 PM

Mine was Ghost Rider...the movie was bad but the transfer both picture and audio was great.

cdot2four · 05-07-2008, 12:06 AM

My first were the departed and troy which I highly recommend.
Also the patriot and we are marshal both excel in picture, sound and overall movie.
