Popular Mechanics Top 20 Blu-ray Epics - Blu-ray Forum

HermanTurnip · 12-12-2008, 11:42 PM

Just stumbled upon this post from Popular Mechanics. With all of the recent "top Blu-ray picks" type of threads going around recently I thought this might prove interesting to everyone...

http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...e/4295511.html

Using the word "epic" might be stretching it a bit, but ah well. It's good to see Blu getting press in Popular Mechanics

Well, I am doing fair with their list. I have 6 of the 20 in my collection.

The Thing- Nice to see a horror and John Carpenter film finally get some respect.

dvd_mazter · 12-13-2008, 12:06 AM

I have 9 / 20 however why is Bourne on the list considering it isn't out yet

I am thinking the same. How did he see the third Bour to comment on it?

Always good to see Crimson Tide getting some love.

Neither is The Last Emperor.

I can claim 12/20.

thecroshow · 12-13-2008, 12:19 AM

only 3 for me ='( whenever i see a list like this i think "i need MORE!"

Red Hood · 12-13-2008, 12:29 AM

4/20 I fail.

Eagle_23 · 12-13-2008, 12:41 AM

1/20 for me. LOL! Then again I personally disagree w/ many of their selections.

AlaskaDon · 12-13-2008, 12:42 AM

Hehe, I must have a Blu addiction problem or something. I have 14 from the list. It would even be 16 or 17 if the Criterion stuff or Bourne movies were out yet.

Midnightsailor · 12-13-2008, 12:44 AM

Great list!

4/20

Not the best selection IMO.

AlexCruz · 12-13-2008, 03:58 AM

Put me down for 5 lol. Actually there's quite a few on that list that I want but haven't gotten around to buy them though.

assydingo · 12-13-2008, 06:17 AM

I own 2... but I regret buying Sleeping Beauty. The visuals might be stunning but the plot is DOA.

And I just ordered Godfather so then it will be 3.

Narnia should be on that list!

HermanTurnip · 12-13-2008, 06:39 AM

I also was wondering about the Bourne trilogy and The Last Emperor. I'm looking to upgrade my standard DVD copies, but don't see them as being released on Blu-ray. Thought I was going crazy there for a second...
