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

I think I have like 20 out of the 25 listed. And for the record, I don't necessarily agree with all of their picks, and I suspect mnay of you won't either.

Here's the link:

Dont agree either. I see a couple "must haves", a few "would be nice to have", and a few "meh". Heck, no one will ever totally agree with lists like these.

I agree with a few of those although it's a shame they left off The godfather collection and the classic bonds, but i don't think restoration was a category in making the list.

That said i would have added Incredible Hulk to the list, i always put on the Hulk vs. Abomination fight of the college campus hulk out to show off my system

Actually have a five of these on this list, which kind of surprised me because I only have about 20 blu's right now. No Country For Old Men will be the next one I plan on picking up which I see is on the list, can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.

Here's the list for those to lazy to click thru the link:
1 Baraka
2 Blackhawk Down
3 Blade Runner
4 Bolt
5 Casablanca
6 Casino Royale (SE)
7 The Dark Knight
8 How The West Was Won
9 Ironman
10 Live Free or Die Hard
11 Mad Men
12 Master & Commander
13 No Country For Old Men
14 POTC: COTBP
15 Planet Earth
16 The Police: Certifiable
17 Ratatouille
18 Rescue Dawn
19 Ronin
20 Sunshine
21 300 (Digibook)
22 Transformers
23 Tropic Thunder
24 Wall-E
25 Youth Without Youth

I've got 12 of them, myself... I don't know why Ronin is on there. The blurb on the website only talks about the car chase - nothing about the blu-ray quality. And last time I checked Casablanca was ridiculously over-priced, so that won't be added to my collection any time soon...

That's a terrible list in my opinion. Not to mention the little blurbs on the side, the one that really stood out to me was the Blade Runner blurb. All they really say is it's an upgrade over a poor dvd, instead of saying the film looks like it was shot yesterday. There are numerous discs they've left off there that are more deserving, but I suppose to each their own.

Just goes to show that different people have different tastes.
If you like ___________, That's cool!
The guy next to you might not - That's cool too!

Seeing someone post "You are stupid" or "You don't understand it" shows lack of acceptance.

I have 4 of those, and will probably pick up one more - the rest will never be bought.

WALL-E
Ratatouille
Sunshine(gave it away though)
Transformers

Might pick up LFODH.

I only have seven of these myself. I didn't like some of the movies they have on the list, though, such as Die Hard 4 or Tropic Thunder.

I'm proud to own all these movies, except for Casino Royale; simply a waste of $30 right there.

The most absurd blurb is the one for Youth Without Youth that says, "We should have put Godfather I and II on this list..."

Uh...no kidding! Then why didn't you??
