Saw this article on Philip Swann's industry newsletter and thought I would pass it along.

Washington, D.C. (September 15, 2011) -- What are the greatest Blu-ray discs of all time?

According to the Broadcast Film Critics Association, they are: Apocalypse Now, Avatar, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Planet of the Apes box set, The Wizard of Oz and the complete Lord of the Rings boxed set.

Reuters reports that the critics named these films as the best Blu-ray discs on the market in a recent poll. However, the wire service notes that the voters were restricted to choosing Blu-ray discs from seven companies that are members of the Blu-ray Disc Association.

Consequently, the critics could not choose from the highly-regarded Criterion Collection, which has done a splendid job over the years remastering foreign films and older classics.

The critics were also asked to choose one release from the past five years, the period of time that the Blu-ray high-def disc has been in existence.

With that restriction, Reuters writes that the voters chose the following Blu-ray films as the best of the last five years.

2006-2007: Close Encounters of the Third Kind 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition

2008: Planet of the Apes" 40-Year Evolution set

2009: The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary 3-disc Emerald Edition

2010: (tie) "Apocalypse Now" Full Disclosure Special Edition, and Avatar Extended Collector's Edition

2011: The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition.

What do you think about these selections?
