1. The Ultimate Matrix Box
2. Lord of the Rings Extended Box
3. Aliens Anthology Box
4. Avatar Extended
5. Blade Runner
6. Apocalypse Now Full Disclosure
7. Saving Private Ryan
8. Fight Club
9. Star Wars Saga Box
10. I wish there was a Pixar Box Set, but since there isn't I'd have to pick either Walle or The Incredibles.

I picked up the Blade Runner 5 Disc set last month and that reissue is amazing.

Check The Amazon UK site....The Alien Anthology is much cheaper there and shipping is cheap.


As for my top 10 Blu's to own (not necessarily the 10 best movies, just so we're clear)

- Apocalypse Now (3 Disc Full Disclousure Edition)
- Alien Anthology
- Blade Runner (5 Disc Set)
- Bourne Trilogy Box set
- The Dark Knight
- District 9
- Michael Clayton
- Se7en
- The Thing
- Unforgiven

This has been my tried & true list for a while now....but Ip Man & Zodiac are gaining ground.

Wow its all regions. I didn't realize that. Are there any differences on the discs?

[The Dark Uniter]

So far, House (1977), The Lion King, Star Wars, Army of Darkness, Fist of Fury, Grindhouse, The Matrix, Taxi Driver and Yojimbo.

[retablo]

Planet Earth
Baraka
Sunrise
The Thin Red Line
Apocalypse Now
Sweet Smell of Success
Seven Samurai
Avatar (for PQ alone)
Transformers 3 (for PQ alone)
Taxi Driver

as long as there's no EE-infested Dark Knight on the list, I'm happy.

[raygendreau]

Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Lord of the Rings EE
Bladerunner
Alien Anthology
Star Wars Saga
Baraka
Planet Earth
The Matrix Box Set

One or two of these might be bumped for Tora Tora Tora and/or Jurassic Park when they are released on BD.

I like your reasoning. Some of the biggest surprises have come from recent restorations of classic movies brought back from the brink.

My top seven classic movie choices include the following Blu-Rays released and announced as upcoming:

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Cleopatra (1963)
How the West Was Won (1962)
My Fair Lady (1964)
The Sound of Music (1965)
The Ten Commandments (1956)
West Side Story (1961)

More recent movie choices to round up my top ten movies on Blu-Ray would include:
The Planet of the Apes - Collector's Set (Complete 5 Movies)
Star Wars - Collector's Set
(Complete 6 Movies)
Avatar - Extended Collector's Edition(2009)

I bought it yesterday for $27 USD.

Thanks for pointing this out. I notice a lot of lesser priced box sets on the UK site versus the US site.

Leathal Weapon 1-4 is also only $25, same with the Matrix Trilogy and the Planet of the Apes 5 set.
