Give me some Blu-ray recommendations - Blu-ray Forum

grandmaster · 07-14-2008, 02:36 PM

Hello,

I have a PS3 and so far I haven't been making full use of the BD drive in it. Currently I have the following films on BD:

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Rambo
Superman Returns
I am Legend
Casino Royale
Spiderman Trilogy

I would like to get a few more BD discs and have been looking at the other threads to get ideas.

I noticed that Blade Runner and Close Encounters both appeared on many people's lists, however I've never seen the former and have only seen the latter once or twice I think.

Just wanted some ideas for BD discs. Also, I'm located in Ireland so there are quite a few BD discs that I can't get here, unless I import them from the US. But don't let that stop you recommending them

weep...search functiom. This may be the new "Star Wars" or "Black Bars" thread. There are 234,441,567 threads answering this same question.

The Fugitive is reference quality.

I'd use this as a guide (in addition to your own personal taste in movies of course....... People say Pirates of the Carribean a lot... but I can't bring myself to buy it!!!)

I've never actually seen any of the Pirates of the Carribean films. I hear they are good, or at least the first one is, but I've never had much interest in watching them. It's a bit like the film Braveheart. I'm pretty much the only person I know who has never seen it. And as a result, it's almost become a badge of honour for me

gotta get irobot and i am legend

H00D4M4N · 07-14-2008, 06:46 PM

I Am Legend (one of the best video qualities currently)
Pan's Labyrinth
Apocalypto
Shoot Em Up

The Signal is a great movie, but it's really low-budget and isn't what I would call "demo" material. Still, it's one of the cheaper Blu-rays so I'll recommend it.

Nate · 07-18-2008, 03:40 AM

The orphanage is a GREAT FILM
face/off
Pirates (all 3)
Dave Matthews
Blade Runner
