VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!!

Counts for me. I LOVED Black Snake Moan! The PQ is outstanding, too bad no lossless audio though.

Windtalkers
The Replacement Killers

Check out the reviews.

I may pick this one up this week. Looks interesting enough.

I would have to say Mr. Brooks is pretty underrated, I loved the movie! It doesn't seem to get mentioned much.. Great movie, PQ & AQ.

Black Snake Moan is another one... Awesome PQ

The original audio track is mono. I have no need for a gimmicky surround remix.

I'd go with The Gauntlet (great Eastwood movie from the 70's), and Redbelt (cool character and different twist on the "underdog" fighter genre)

Good movie, but it's not on Blu-ray. It has the same look and feel as Band Of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan.

The Proposition
Perfume
Brick

It's an import, it was released in the UK.

Paganmoon · 02-03-2009, 06:25 AM

hmm, No one mentioned A Scanner Darkly so here I am... mentioning it. Really great PQ (Rotoscoped), and good story.

Can't belive Windtalkers (ugh) got mentioned but not A Scanner darkly...

Dust+Wind · 02-03-2009, 08:11 AM

Worth a Look..............

the orphanage
sunshine
Identity
Serenity
The Lookout
Into The Wild
Once
Dark City
Reservoir Dogs
Transsiberian
Layer Cake
Dog Day Afternoon

That's all so far, Wait i don't if you guys heard of this movie before but you should check it out. The Dark Night

(it's not that bad)

mattconroy · 02-03-2009, 02:10 PM

Zulu (UK) - great transfer and a terrific film.

Perhaps Love is another. Great HK film.

ssmith3046 · 02-03-2009, 02:29 PM

If you like sci-fi then The Arrival when it's released 4/21.

supersix4 · 02-03-2009, 02:33 PM

donnie brasco

assydingo · 02-03-2009, 02:43 PM

Poltergeist.

Looks brilliant for it's age.

andyman1970 · 02-03-2009, 02:53 PM

Million Dollar Baby. Great film. One of the best I've seen a long time.

master_8ball · 02-03-2009, 03:18 PM

The Great White was a good one.... Never heard of the movie before I saw it for sale dirt cheap, even when it was released. Not reference material by any means but was a good movie.

diamondfoxxx · 02-03-2009, 03:36 PM

Try The Man Who Fell To Earth. A cult film from the 70's--also, it's by Criterion.

italiano17771 · 02-03-2009, 05:35 PM

anybody mention The Wackness? excellent movie IMO. Ben Kingsley was brilliant.
