Best and Worst Blu-rays in your collection.

[Freekman]

Best: Band of Brothers - Perfect PQ/AQ, loads of extras
Worst: Batman (1989) - I just didn't like the movie and the transfer isn't great.

And those looking at my collection, Category 7 is not mine, but my father's.

What about Batman Returns? Better movie and better transfer

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'll eventually buy all of the old Batman films at once. I'm sure it's a better transfer than the 1989 Batman.

Flog 'em. End of story.

Of my small collection:-

Best: Sleeping Beauty - Even though it's animation it looks stunning in HD and seeing it in it's full widescreen presentation is glorious.

Worst: The Mask - I love this film, however the picture is very grainy for the movie it is, but I'll live since this is the best version out there.

Best Avatar for a new film, or From Russia With Love for old.

My least or worst is Dantes Inferno Animated. Not brilliant, but us fans of the video game enjoy it.

I refuse to have crap in my collection, and have traded Perfect Storm, Robocop, Pans Labyrinth (US release), and Master And Commander back to CEX here in the UK. I hate crap transfers of my favourite films, who doesn't...

I keep all of my Blus. My taste may change overtime, so I might feel like watching a certain film at some time that I didn't like the first time I watched it.

[Nepse]

Best: Battlestar Galactica, season 1,2,3 (and 4 when it comes out in Norway)
Season 1 was actually a blind buy

Worst: The Day The Earth Stood Still (remake), horrible horrible movie!
Another blind buy, didnt get as lucky with that one I guess.

[Beast]

Best: Avatar - Even without extras, the film is simply stunning on Blu-Ray. Can't stop watching it.
Worst: The Dark Knight - Terrible unsatisfying film. The Tech and Unmasked documentaries salvage it.

[Marcus Wright]

Best:

This Is It - cant stop listening to it.
Ratatouille - my favorite animation
Avatar - this one is obvious
Wall-E - a perfect movie and perfect blu ray

Worst:

The Golden Compass - its still good, but weakest in my collection

For me: plot holes, too long, Harvey Dent storyline and final act was not developed realistically because there was too much going on and I didn't buy it, Batman wasn't in it enough. It would have worked better had it been 2 films, and the Harvey Dent stuff mostly in a second one, but as it was it felt like too much was rammed in. I mean, I do LIKE the film, Ledger is amazing and it was the most ambitious movie of its genre I've seen, but it didn't wholly succeed IMO. I think it's overhyped and overrated.
Definitely not the worst blu-ray in my collection, that'd probably be Basic Instinct 2... even though it's alright as a comedy. I generally don't blind buy, or get movies I don't like, so I'm pretty happy with them all!

As far as worst PQ, I'd probably go with Basic Instinct 2 as well!

Best Film: The Dark Knight (Contrary to nametag's opinion, I think it's an amazingly made film all around, bested only by Nolan's newest film - Inception.)
Worst Film: Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (A blind buy that didn't do it for me. It was more for my wife, who's more into anime.)

Best PQ: Avatar (It just doesn't get any better than that.)
Worst PQ: This is Spinal Tap (Not that it's the fault of the movie, it was shot in 16mm, it's supposed to look like that, it's just not something to show off on your HDTV. My favorite comedy of all time though.)

I'm sorry, but if it replicates the look of the movie perfectly, then how can it have the 'worst PQ'?

I'm just saying the movie doesn't shine in HD. It's true to the original source, yes, but it's not the kind of movie that requires an upgrade. It's not something you demo to show off your TV. It doesn't, and won't ever, represent what is so great about Blu-ray, lets just leave it at that.

[28BlusLater]

Best Blind Buy: Trick 'R Treat
Worst Blind Buy: Donnie Darko 2: S. Darko
Best PQ: Sin City, The Ruins, Kill Bill (Volumes 1 & 2), and Cloverfield.
Best AQ: 28 Weeks Later, Cloverfield, Crank, Drag Me To Hell, The Final Destination, and The Strangers.

Those are just to name a few.

Also, when I really don't like a movie that I bought (which has only happened two or three times), I sell them on eBay and usually get what I paid back on there.
