how many movies out there really deserve to be on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

MADNOD · 11-29-2008, 10:55 AM

hi all,

I was looking to members collections and i found alot of people with more than 500 blu-ray movies, that made me wonder are there really that amount of titles that deserve to be on blu-ray or at least will benefit from HD over upconversion?.

my Blu-ray collection is mainly action , adventure and some documentaries movies (around 32 titles), i don't buy for example blu-ray comedies.

i do think that there are currently around 100-150 titles out there that really benefit or deserver to be on blu-ray others are there just as a fromat option.

i am just looking to hear people feedback on this, i am not trying to bash or question anybody judgement with their movies collection.

It depend on your taste. You sound like me in a little way, you like buying BD that you will keep on watching and watching. Many members on this site are HUGE movie fans and love all types, thus they have quite a collection of BD. Some of the older movies have had some amazing transfert to BD, for some who love's them, it's quite something to see them on BD.

Since it's only a matter of personal preference, each and every movie deserves to be on Blu-ray...

Example: Tons on people claim animation upconverted is just as good as Blu. And yes, it looks nice. However watching animation on Blu is a mind-blowing beautiful experience (at least imo). So: every movie should be on Blu.

I guess you're right, but some movies could just be a waste on BD. Like, I'm really not waiting for the BD version of 'The Hottie and the Nottie' (Not that I've ever seen it, bet I sure bet it sucks)

BTW +1 for the animation on BD! Just look at Kung Fu Panda!

Every movie deserves to be on Blu-ray, but it is up to you whether or not to buy it

Blaumann · 11-29-2008, 12:08 PM

Indeed. I never felt the need to buy each and every DVD ever released...

The goal is to get an as large selection as possible for every taste out there.

I think everything deserves to be on Blu-ray. As long as the source isn't in standard definition. Which the vast majority of content isn't.

Not to mention... most people tend to forget or maybe they just don't know that Blu-ray is getting closer to the director's intention, not only visually but also the way it's meant to be heard.

Well I'm more in the 10 club, lol. I don't own too many blu rays, anyways I think any movie should be on blu ray, I never heard "this movie doesn't belong on DVD, its just as good as the VHS" as an excuse to not release a movie on DVD. Blu Ray should be the same, every movie even if the benefit is minimal, I mean at the least they could add more special features.

Midnightsailor · 11-29-2008, 03:37 PM

There are definitely over 100-150 titles that benefit from Blu-ray.

all of them. If you are willing to watch and hear it then why not watch and hear it in the best possible way now available/possible? If you don't care about a possible title then just don't get it, but someone else might care and they should have the best.

assydingo · 11-29-2008, 07:30 PM

Well music, animation, and visually oriented films should be on Blu.

Other stuff I don't think needs it but it can be nice.

DealsR4theDevil · 11-29-2008, 07:34 PM

Anything worth buying is worth buying on Blu. W/e i won't buy on Blu i wouldnt have bought on DVD either.

masoud90 · 11-29-2008, 08:38 PM

I don't get it...isn't there supposed to be a shift from DVD to Blu-ray as the next format? If so, then why all these posts about what movie 'deserves' to be on blu-ray...all of the should!

Anthony P · 11-29-2008, 08:53 PM

because some people are trying to convince themselves that DVD is good enough
