* Name 1 Blu-ray Title you would recommend that people probably do not have! * - Blu-ray Forum

3rdamention · 08-06-2009, 01:07 AM

I am just looking for one really solid Blu Ray Title you would recommend to people either because of Overall Picture Quality, Overall Sound Quality, and/or just because it is a cool movie. This may be a title that is easily overlooked or easily slept on, and not necessarily and undiscovered gem.

I would recommend Shinobi. I know I know, the picture quality is not off the chart but the story is pretty awesome. You have 2 groups of like 4-5 fighters, fighting to the death. Each fighter has their own special skills/move set. The effects are pretty awesome.

I also love the look of the movie. The color is a bit soft, but may be attributed to the crazy color filters being used in the film.

Some of you already have it, I am sure, but if not, check it out!!

I would say "The Searchers" classic western beautiful restoration done on this one.....Natalie Wood is so damn beautiful too!! Go get it!!

Shinobi's a great little flick. That part pictured in the background is sweetness.

Hmm, I don't know. It's always hard to just list one in these kinds of choices. So I'll say three:

Ip Man: Some may have it, but if you don't then you shouldn't waste any more time. It's a must have title starring Donnie Yen as Bruce Lee's former master.

Exiled: A superbly poetic gunplay film directed by genius director, Johnnie To (a personal fav. of mine).

Redbelt: A personal favorite film of mine from last year. It's sort of got a slow pace to it, but when it builds up to the end it all just comes together. I don't know what it is, but the ending just does it for me. It puts it all together and really just kind of makes you respect what you watched. For some reason, it gives me the same feeling I got when I watched the ending to Best of the Best. It just made the film for me.

I don't know too many people that own or have even seen Sunshine. It's a great movie. One of my favorites. Repo a Genetic Opera is pretty good too. A bit on the Gothy side but I am a weirdo like that.

I really wish they would put Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Blu. I love that movie.

xander · 08-06-2009, 01:31 AM

^^Repo's a good choice and I personally love it, but get why it turns a lot of folks off.

Two discs that get no love around here:

Four Brothers: Great John Singleton flick, top shelf PQ/AQ

The Wackness: Awesome coming of age story set in 90's Brooklyn. Good looking disc too.

If we're going to include imports, In Bruges is where it's at.

jessdb28 · 08-06-2009, 01:31 AM

It is the only sort of non mainstream bluray I own. LOVE IT.

drtre81 · 08-06-2009, 01:39 AM

Street Kings.

DeadDog · 08-06-2009, 01:42 AM

The Host, great movie but most people don't seem to like subtitled movies.

dgator783 · 08-06-2009, 01:43 AM

Let The Right One In....awesome vampire movie!....and I recommend the subtitles and not the english dub track...

Freekman · 08-06-2009, 01:45 AM

Definitely Shinobi. There are some great effects in that movie and it gave me the chills at the end.

JunkBoy · 08-06-2009, 02:17 AM

Ip Man

Flash Point

Red Cliff

Red Cliff II

All have top notch PQ, 10 out of 10 AQ and they're all highly entertaining too!

Sorry that's more than 1 so if I had to pick just 1 then i'd go with Flash Point!

Lepidopterous · 08-06-2009, 02:38 AM

Black Snake Moan - Nobody seems to know about this movie, but it remains one of my favorite blu-rays and one of the best, if not the best, reference-quality PQ discs in my collection.

Paprika - A wonderful film from start to finish, I highly recommend that anybody try this out, anime fans or not. Simply remarkable.

Stomp - I absolutely love this blu-ray and still wonder why it is so hard to find in stores and rare amongst user collections. It provides such a thrill from beginning to end in a way that no other performance can ever present. I'm surprised it hasn't received much attention; there isn't even a review for it yet.

Beta Man · 08-06-2009, 02:43 AM

Now that I FINALLY got it, and sat down and watched it..... I can comfortably say....

Well unless you collect or watch Criterion Collection films then I recommend you watching El Norte. I'm a Hispanic and I made my entire family watch this movie and we all immediately fell in love with it's moving story and deep characters.

And I know they are more main stream titles but I also recommend these since they are some of my most favorite films:

WALL-E
Pan's Labyrinth
Volver
No Country for Old Men
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Memoirs of a Geisha
King Kong (2005)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Apocalypto
