suggestion for blu ray to buy

[dosky]

Hi all,


im sort of new to the blu ray scene, i rented transformers and hancock on blu ray and they were truly amazing.


Just wondering if you had any ideas on what my first blu ray movie purchase should be.


any suggestions welcome

Blu ray player - bdp1500

depends on what kind of movies you like, of course.

everyone's going to tell you something different. i think blade runner, 2001, casino royale, and the departed are must owns, aside from others.

[dosky]

i like quite a variety of movies, action, horror, drama, comedy (depends on what it is)

[NoQuestion]

I would say any of the Pixar movies are must own movies no matter what your movie preference is. I would also say Ironman as well as Tropic Thunder. The godfather trilogy is incredible, so long as you like that kind of movie.

yea i watched wall e this morning and enjoyed that one thats in my wishlist until i own it lol

[jpeckinp]

Planet Earth the BBC version or Band of Brothers are both very excellent. I thought Cars was very good also.

[Kaiju]

2001, The Incredible Hulk, Tropic Thunder, Rob Zombie's Halloween

all look & sound great.

i had planet earth on HD dvd which sadly i bought. I should have waited till the war was over lol. I have to re buy planet earth for the wifey on bluray now :P

[Blu Titan]

I recommend POTC Dead Man's Chest and The Chronicles of Narnia. Outstanding PQ in any scale!

[andyman1970]

WALL-E, Iron Man, Transformers, Kung Fu Panda, well, just about anything that appeals to you.

it would be awsome if stars wars came on blu ray man that would be sweet same with lord of the rings which both studios are now signed on...only matter of time

Welcome to Blu-ray.com!

Apocalypto is probably something you would appreciate, as entertainment and a top BD treatment.

Again, welcome on board.

Definitely one of these, as all are absolutely amazing:

Kill Bill vol 1 and 2 (they keep a perfectly refined layer of grain)
Wall*E (flawless)
Iron Man
Casino Royale

And for audio, look no further than the Band of Brothers box set.

Hope this helps. Welcome to the wonderful world of High Definition.

You'll be happy to know Lord of the Rings has been announced officially! See this forum post for more info: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=65914

My highest recommendations so far:

Casino Royale (new collector's version)
Dirty Harry Ultimate Collection
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Canada)

[dosky]

that's awsome thanks for all your info, i can hear the money falling out of my wallet hehe

im going to upload pics of my setup tomorrow.

this site kicks *** lol

If you like classic films, it is hard to beat Fox's treatments of Planet of the Apes and Young Frankenstein.

You should get Casino Royale (hands down the best), Rambo (the last one looks amazing) and Wall-E. Each of this discs are now in my reference quality category.
