Marcus Wright · 05-30-2010, 04:23 AM

Hi everyone.
In your opinion, which studio does the best job in releasing the highest quality blu rays on consistent basis.

P.S. I want to open a poll, but before that, I want to make sure I have all the major studios on the pollig list. Here are the major studious I know,

- Disney/Buena Vista
- Focus Features
- Fox
- Lionsgate
- MGM
- New Line Cinema
- Paramount/Dreamworks
- Sony
- Universal
- Warner Bros
- Weinstein

and if you feel some good blu ray releasing studio is missing, please tell it and I will add it to the poll.

They all do a great job with releasing movies, but if I had to pick favorites...

...Criterion easily.

Paramount/Dreamworks have done a mostly bang-up job in the last couple years IMO, and with the likes of Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan they have set the bar for how good 90s films can look on the format.

Are Metro Goldwen Mayer and Criterion blu ray releasing studios as well?

Criterion is a distributor on Blu-ray, while MGM's discs are all handled by Fox.

Ok, guys, so I should take MGM out of the list?
Can someone come up with a list of major blu ray releasing studios, so that I put it on a polling.?

nathanp · 05-30-2010, 04:56 AM

Best movies - Criterion as always
Best BRDs - Disney/Buena Vista

Rob71 · 05-30-2010, 01:27 PM

Blue Underground...

You really have to appreciate their films though.

Marcus Wright · 05-30-2010, 02:35 PM

Ok, polling is up now.

KubrickFan · 05-30-2010, 03:32 PM

I voted for Criterion, since it's the most consistent in both releasing good quality movies and BDs. Most of the other studios either have screwed up on several titles, or release movies that don't interest me as much.

blu_fan · 05-31-2010, 10:02 PM

Disney has the best picture quality, I'd say.
However, I find Lionsgate to be the best audio quality, since it's one of the only studios to release most of their stuff with a 7.1 DTS-HD track and 9/10 times, their stuff is very clear and aggressive. (I'm talking about their newer stuff, not their first releases like the first SAW or The Punisher 1)

Chiyo_chichi · 05-31-2010, 10:16 PM

I don't think I've every been disappointed by a Disney bluray.

Petra_Kalbrain · 05-31-2010, 10:36 PM

Lionsgate gets my vote here. They just nudge Disney/Dreamworks out of top spot.

Lionsgate always offers high quality presentation in everything from the menu designs right through to the audio quality. They have the edge in that they are more apt in future proofing their releases with 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio tracks.

I would say Disney and HBO, as far as I am concerned there has been no better BD than Band of Brother.

Disney=Criterion=Warner Brothers=Paramaunt

RAZGRIZ-1 · 06-01-2010, 09:13 PM

Quality? Criterion for sure. They always care for the films they release. I have never seen a bad Criterion release.

blu-bry · 06-01-2010, 09:31 PM

I chose Disney/Buena Vista for consistent quality and great extras, but it was very hard not to choose Criterion. Their restorations, transfers, booklets and bonus features are hard to beat.
