Best jump from DVD to Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Batman1980 · 04-10-2009, 06:14 AM

Not the best blu-ray but which movie got the best upgrade going from DVD to blu-ray? The best one I can come up with atm is Dracula. That DVD is absolutely horrible but the blu-ray is breathtaking.

oh this is pretty tough i think i would have to say pirates of the carribean dead mans chest. the picture and the audio is just so much better than the dvd. now that i think of it all three of the pirate movies are better than their dvd counterparts.

The Godfather looked and sounded incredible compared to the standard!!

OrlandoEastwood · 04-10-2009, 08:23 AM

Black Mask with Jet Li. The PQ could be a little bit better but it looks awesome on Blu-Ray.

Teabaggins · 04-10-2009, 01:57 PM

Beetle Juice, it's a huge improvement

cartman781 · 04-10-2009, 02:13 PM

Sophie Scholl. The DVD was Horrible.

That, and I think The Shining looks a hell lot better on Blu as well.

MAPdead · 04-11-2009, 05:45 AM

Dawn of the Dead ( original )
A Clockwork Orange
The Shawshank Redemption

those are a few movies I own that I think blow the dvd away.

Easily Blade Runner

So what's the true color of the toys...yellow or pink??

My dvd copy of Fifth Element compared to Blu is insane. The DVD looks terrible.. but maybe it is just because it is from 2001 or 2002. Either way.. I use it to cross reference DVD-->BD when I have people over. A lot of times people don't realize how good BD looks until you play them a DVD after the BD.

Huh, I don't think I've replaced any of my DVDs that have only non-anamorphic widescreen yet. I really want to now...

But some of the great improvements I've seen are:
"Dark City," for a way sharper, clearer, colorful image.
"Downfall," had a terrible-looking DVD, but the import Blu-Ray is way better.
"Get Smart;" I thought the DVD looked horrid.
"La Femme Nikita;" once again, the DVD was horrid.
"Out For Justice," especially since my DVD was fullscreen only.
"Planet Terror," for a sharper picture, and for including the scratch-free version.
"Reservoir Dogs," especially since the 10th anniversary DVD was kind of gaudy.

For me the greatest improvement from DVD to Bluray: Conair and Blade Runner. My original Conair wasn't even anamorphic widscreen.
