A Few Good Men

I like all the movies, so I don't need opinions on that, I want opinions based solely on PQ + SQ

Thanks.

Reservoir Dogs and Swordfish. I think Swordfish since it's one of the better looking Blu movies, and Reservoir because it's just a damn fine movie. A Few Good Men is just too drawn out and lackluster in some parts to make it a great movie to enjoy just lounging around.

PQ from best to worst IMO of course

A Few Good Men
Swordfish (The colors in this one seem surreal, but I like the overall quality of the PQ)
Lord of War (PQ is a little overrated IMO, color tones seemed too saturated at tiimes especially the skin tones)
The Usual Suspects
Reservoir Dogs (Definitely the lagger out of the group...the other five are closer to each other in terms of PQ, however until we get the Kill Bills, and Pulp fiction, I feel this is a must have if you're a Tarantino fan.)

Who's to say how long (if they ever do) remaster and reissue those titles. If you can get them cheap, you could always eBay then later in life. Just a thought

I don't think either are ever going to see a reissue. Usual Suspects PQ is decent but compared to the group of BD's that you're asking us to compare it to, it's not the best. Keep in mind that I said Reservoir Dogs is the one that lacks most out of the group of movies. The rest are closer to each other in terms of PQ. RD is not a high quality movie to begin. I think the BD version is about as good as it's going to look. If you wait around for a reissue I think you'll be waiting for a long time. Of course all these are just my opinions and you know what they say about opinions.

Honestly Erman,

I own 4 out of 5 in my collection. They're all great movies that you should add to your collection sooner or later. AFGM men I sold because I felt it didn't have a lot of replay value and I can watch it on cable a dozen times a year.
