Help! - Blu-ray Forum

I am going to buy one movie and I can't decide. It's between Iron Man, Home Alone, Phone Booth, Wall-E, Talladaga Nights, Elf, Ice Age, Tropic Thunder, or Christmas Vacation.

Based on blu-ray picture quality and just overall film quality, which do you guys think I should get?

Wall E ! Check the blu ray movie ratings on this website if you want to narrow your search based on video quality and over all movie quality.

brianbags · 12-06-2008, 05:58 PM

I've seen them, I was just hoping to get some more opinions on here.

Adding Iron Man!

PQ and AQ aside, one should consider a movie purchase on how great the movie itself is. That being said, from your list I say:

Elf
Wall•E
Ice Age (1 and 2)

Elf is great, but sadly, I've never seen Ice Age 1 or 2 or Wall-E. Are those three as good as everyone says they are?

quexos · 12-06-2008, 06:32 PM

Wall-E is definitely a must have, or so it seems to me.

I wouldnt put too much stock in "MOVIE RATINGS" on this messageboard. Most of the reviews I have read are well.....lets just say, not well thought out. What are you buying anyway? A film that you would enjoy or something that just looks good on blu ray?

Most look good on blu-ray, so I guess just a good movie.

Phone Booth, Home Alone, or National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Kaiju · 12-06-2008, 07:10 PM

I say Wall-E and Tropic Thunder, but I voted Wall-E

Trean · 12-06-2008, 09:45 PM

I voted Elf; given the time of year it is a great movie to have.

brianbags · 12-06-2008, 10:24 PM

I haven't ordered yet...does anyone like Iron Man? Is it like the Spidermans?

Anthony P · 12-07-2008, 12:25 PM

man those are really distinct movies
you should have them all for different moods

but if I was to buy 1 of them it would be Wall-e

Beta Man · 12-07-2008, 12:26 PM

You don't own Christmas Vacation yet........ You gotta do something about that!

flyboy66 · 12-07-2008, 01:06 PM

true just to bad Warner put out such a crappy release for Christmas Vacation. horrible audio, horrible picture quality, and just plain horrible for such a great movie. i know this is like one of the first movies to come out to blu-ray and hd-dvd but still they really need to re-release it with high definition audio and a great picture quality release.

If your looking for a great film for adult viewers, I'd go with Tropic Thunder. If you want something that anyone can enjoy, Wall-E.
