Top 10 MUST HAVE Blu-rays - Blu-ray Forum

Dukefrukem · 10-04-2011, 07:28 PM

What are your thoughts on the top 10 BEST bly-rays to own? (Box Sets and multi-disc sets = 1 rank)

So far the Dark Knight issue has been my #1.

cardifflad · 10-04-2011, 07:35 PM

Apocalypse now... closely followed by the Godfather Trilogy

Dukefrukem · 10-04-2011, 07:40 PM

Inception is also a great one.

Top 10 is too hard of a list to compile but here are just 10 must haves, IMO anyways.

Dexter seasons 1-5
Fringe seasons 1-3
The Dark Knight
The Police: Certifiable

Can't stand The Dark Knight, Godfather Trilogy, or Inception. For me...

1. Star Wars -The Complete Saga
2. The Alien Anthology
3. Avatar - Extended Collector's Edition
4. Back To The Future Trilogy
5. Rocky Horror Picture Show - 35th Anniversary Edition (Digibook)
6. Planet Of the Apes - 40-Year Evolution Collection
7. Close Encounters - 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition
8. Blade Runner - 5 Disc Complete Collector's Edition
9. The Exorcist (Digibook)
10. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Target Digibook)

I've been considering the The Alien Anthology for a long time now. $79 is a lot of money for two great movies, one mediocre and one terrible movie though.

I picked up the Blade Runner 5 Disc set last month and that reissue is amazing.

Beast · 10-04-2011, 07:58 PM

Just watch for a sale. Especially since you're technically getting 8 movies + 2 Bonus Discs.

yeh the extras sound quite worth it. Have you watched it with "Audio Commentary by Director Ridley Scott, Writer Dan O’Bannon, Executive Producer Ronald Shusett, Editor Terry Rawlings, Actors Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt"

That's an amazing lineup right there.

Check The Amazon UK site....The Alien Anthology is much cheaper there and shipping is cheap.

As for my top 10 Blu's to own (not necessarily the 10 best movies, just so we're clear)

- Apocalypse Now (3 Disc Full Disclousure Edition)
- Alien Anthology
- Blade Runner (5 Disc Set)
- Bourne Trilogy Box set
- The Dark Knight
- District 9
- Michael Clayton
- Se7en
- The Thing
- Unforgiven

This has been my tried & true list for a while now....but Ip Man & Zodiac are gaining ground.

John Carpenter's The Thing looks epic on Blu Ray
