CNET: Top 25 "Must Have" Blu-ray Discs!

[Variable]

honestly I don't thnk it's a bad list. never going to agree with everything but I'm glad to see some of what is on there.

[Travis Bickle]

I got 17 of the top 25.
Its great to see Sunshine make it, thats a stellar disc. However, I'm surprised no Kill Bills made the cut, or Pan's Labrinyth, or Fincher's Zodiac.

[GLaDOS]

Besides POTC: COTBP, I had Dead Man's Chest, since I already have the first one on DVD. Is it worth double-dipping?

Totally agree. Every questionable pick was defended with "good PQ/AQ". They're pretty much tech-heads there, but I would have expected some sort of pick on artistic merit. And leaving off Band Of Brothers is a total sin, especially if you are choosing movies based on AQ. It's a 10-hour reference marathon set.

[P@t_Mtl]

I only have 6 of those 25 listed. There is one or two others I might actualy get but I am not that interested in the rest of them. I am surprise Band Of Bothers wasn't on this list however?

[krisstivers]

I disagree with this list for the most part, however, I own these 17:

2 Blackhawk Down
3 Blade Runner
5 Casablanca
6 Casino Royale
7 The Dark Knight
8 How The West Was Won
9 Ironman
10 Live Free or Die Hard
12 Master & Commander
13 No Country For Old Men
14 POTC: COTBP
15 Planet Earth
18 Rescue Dawn
20 Sunshine
21 300
22 Transformers
24 Wall-E

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I only own 10 blu's and 5 of them are on the list so they, like myself have good taste...lol

[mophious]

I've got 6 of them.

1. Blackhawk Down
2 Casino Royale (SE)
3 The Dark Knight
4 Live Free or Die Hard
5 The Police: Certifiable
6 Wall-E

Cnet should explain why those Blu are must have.
I don't understand why Some of Blu movie are on the list.

[thecardman23]

i own:

2 Blackhawk Down
3 Blade Runner
6 Casino Royale (SE)
7 The Dark Knight
9 Ironman
13 No Country For Old Men
15 Planet Earth
20 Sunshine
22 Transformers

i own 9 out of the 25 titles. not a great list imo. there are tons of more blus that deserve to be on there that were left out. King Kong, The Matrix Trilogys, Band of Brothers etc but thats why to each is own and its interesting to read

[Wyndam]

I have 7:

Blackhawk Down
Casino Royale (SE)
The Dark Knight
Mad Men
No Country For Old Men
Transformers
Tropic Thunder

[Diesel]

I own 4 of them (The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean)
Well I have Casino Royale but not that version.

Not interested in buying any of the others except Live Free or Die Hard.

I've seen and liked some of the others, but wouldn't buy them.

[Trekker4Life]

This guy's kidding right? Tropic Thunder? Master and Commander? The Police? No Country for Old Men?

[EvilGamerX]

It is a little thing called opinion.

Though I must say, I was happy to see Tropic Thunder on the list. My favorite film of '08 and it looks and sounds awesome.

well i'm not sure how i feel about the first 3, but No Country For Old Men is a definite must own imo

Well, I guess he wanted to mention the reference quality, demo-disc worthy Blu-rays, not the one a daily consumer would favor overall. I saw a similar list on IGN, with Sleeping Beauty and The Ultimate Matrix Collection included on the Top 10 list. Why didn't they include those movies? Idiots.

[KilloWertz]

While I don't agree with all of the picks, it's not a horrible list either. I have eight of them and agree with all of them being included:

1.Bolt
2.Casino Royale (CE)
3.The Dark Knight
4.Iron Man
5.Live Free or Die Hard
6.Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
7.Transformers
8.Wall-E

[TraumaCaspian]

I only have 3 out of 25, but alot of the ones I saw I would never even consider buying.

[p8ntballah21]

10 for me ....the list is OK....nobody can ever make one that everybody will agree with....


2 Blackhawk Down
4 Bolt
6 Casino Royale (SE)
7 The Dark Knight
9 Ironman
10 Live Free or Die Hard
14 POTC: COTBP
15 Planet Earth
21 300 (Digibook)
22 Transformers

[Grevlin]

8 out of 25.

Just another list, as numerous as opinions...

[wormraper]

not bad, I got 19 out of the 25
