IGN's Top 25 Blu-Rays - Blu-ray Forum

Exist2Inspire · 02-26-2010, 02:05 PM

Where is Wizard of Oz, and Gone With the Wind? Phenominal Blu-Rays.

And to tell you the truth, I never trust anything IGN has to say, especially when it comes to Blu-Rays. I trust these forums, and many other ones like it.

Chordata · 02-26-2010, 02:08 PM

I like how they just say "Lost."

They don't tell if you if its season 1, or maybe season 2. Or even season 3 or 5. It's probably not 4.

Cheaters.

BD4ME · 02-26-2010, 02:13 PM

While I'm glad IGN acknowledges something that's not a) superhero-like, b) Michael Bay, c) explosive crap, d) all of the above.

Some of these are really, really off. Then again IGN, really?!? Do we actually care? Even though I like reading lists, this one is merely disposable. Next.

No Band of Brothers, no Iron Man, plus Forgetting Sarah Marshal and Speed Racer being on the list equals fail by IGN.

As much as I enjoy Fringe, I own it on blu and it's not the best. It's not even close to the quality of Band of Brothers.

Squall835 · 02-26-2010, 04:38 PM

I can't believe they included Star Trek (2009) but left out the original series sets. Those things are amazing.

bboisvert · 02-26-2010, 05:28 PM

Forgetting Sarah Marshall?

The lack of Band of Brothers or Black Hawk Down is odd.

Batman1980 · 02-26-2010, 05:29 PM

Top 25 lists like this are subjective and reactions are why I would never make a top 25 list of my own.

Blu Titan · 02-26-2010, 05:40 PM

#1 BD release...Blade Runner or Close Encounters of The Third Kind. They included fully restored, multiple versions of the movies with as many extras as anyone can possibly bear.

ArmyOfDarknessAW · 02-26-2010, 06:03 PM

Why the hell is Speed Racer on there. Sure it looks and sounds great, but the movie makes it not even deserve top 50.

There are about 10 i would take off and replace to make my top 25.

Kryptonic · 02-26-2010, 06:05 PM

And...IGN continues to suck...

Lepidopterous · 02-26-2010, 10:33 PM

Wow what a terrible list. Fringe, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Firefly are all average quality blu-rays. And Speed Racer? Didn't that make the list for biggest disappointment? They choose that over Ratatouille, Sin City, Max Payne, or even Casablanca?

"Behold our 'must own' titles for any serious home theater enthusiast."

Far from a credible definitive list imo but hey, to each his own.

Chordata · 02-26-2010, 02:21 PM

Sarah Marshall is easily in my Top 25...but I only own like 40.

Um, Wizard of Oz was #4.

I think Casino Royale should have been higher.

IGN's blu-ray section is absolutely laughable, a disgrace to journalism.

JediFonger · 02-26-2010, 10:17 PM

all the criterion BDs are way way better

Yeah, but this was a very mainstream list and many average people would have no idea what most of those movies even are.

masob98 · 02-27-2010, 04:27 AM

That list was straight up crazy. Some of the blus on there were good choices, just there placement was crazy. TDK should have been top 3 at least. Star Trek is awesome but not number 1, maybe 2 or 3.

Snikt · 02-27-2010, 05:19 AM

There were some I agreedw with and others I didn't. I honestly can't believe they included the Spider-Man trilogy, but not the X-Men trilogy.

Sure the Spidey movies looked and sounded great, but there were no extras; save for Spidey 3. The X-Men trilogy looked great and sounds even better than the Spidey films, and you get a ton of extras for each film.

I've really lost any real interest in IGN's reviews. Only reason I visit the site now is to see if there's any movie news.
