I was pretty blown away by The Fountain

Knowing.

We are pretty desensitised when it comes to what we see on movie screens, especially when it is CGI, but this was the first movie in a long time to give me chills.

I second "The Fall." Phenomenal and totally unique.

I'll also add the Russian flick "Night Watch" and to a slightly lesser extent, the sequel "Day Watch."

The Princess Bride - I bought it and havent seen it in forever. I thought the transfer was great for a 20 year old movie and i forgot how much I like this movie as well...

just watched Quantum of Solace and have to say its quite impressive on blu

Hmmmmm I suppose by the tile you have to take into account that last movie that "Blew" you away and has been released in a good to great Blu-ray edition.

In that case, Wall*E.

The Dark Knight comes close, so do Milk (superb sound, I was impressed), Vicky Christina Barcelona (though shame on the audio for that blu release). I am eagerly awaiting blu-rays for Benjamin Button and The Reader.

Mykspawn02 · 03-24-2009, 11:26 PM

crazyBLUE · 03-24-2009, 11:42 PM

HeManster03 · 03-24-2009, 11:48 PM

The Prestige...I can get up and pause a movie for a little bit and come back with no problem. Not that movie.. i didnt want to stop because i was afraid i would miss something. Quickly became one of my all time favorites.

Agreed. Honestly don't understand the criticism on this flick. So glad I blind bought it.

Band of Brothers

I remember seeing bits and pieces of this over the past few years and enjoying it. I bought it a couple of months ago when Amazon had it for like $39.99 that one day and when I got my new Denon Receiver and updated all my hook ups with HDMI this was the first thing I watched. All 10 episodes one after another one weekend.

My wife was working that weekend and only watched the last 2 and she wanted to see the whole thing so I watched them again with her on Monday and Tuesday night and still felt the same way I did watching over the weekend.
