Out of these, which films should I get? - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 06-10-2008, 05:20 AM

Hey,

I already own some Blu-ray titles, my favorites being "The Patriot," "The Pirates Trilogy," and "Blade Runner" and need more.

I've seen all the films on the list below and enjoyed every one. I'm trying to decide which to get based on PQ and AQ quality as well as I guess replay value.

Out of these films, number them from 1-10 (with 1 being the one I should buy immediately and 10 being the one I can wait for)

Cloverfield
Rambo
Speed
The Rock
Troy
Ratatouille
Vacancy
30 Days of Night
The Prestige
Casino Royale

Thanks.

1. Casino Royale
2. The Prestige
3. The Rock
4. Ratatouille
5. Troy
6. Cloverfield
7. 30 Days of Night
8. Rambo
9. Vacancy
10. Speed

Opinions on the movies will differ. I ranked them in the order that I like the movies because with the exceptions of Vacancy and Speed, all the titles are going to have stellar PQ/AQ. I actually haven't seen Ratatouille, but from what I've read it is reference quality PQ.

Rambo - 5

Rambo all the way

jcarugati · 06-10-2008, 05:30 AM

Yeah and if you could just give me your reasonings behind your ratings as well, that would be great. For instance, I want to know why you would give Vacancy an 8 or Cloverfield a 10. Thank you.

diamondfoxxx · 06-10-2008, 05:45 AM

Well, Rambo should be an essential. It meets all the criteria: great movie, great PQ and 7.1 sound.

No need to buy Vacancy. Don't waste your money on that!

Other than that Casino Royale, Ratatouille, The Rock, Troy would be good choices.

FilmFiend · 06-10-2008, 05:58 AM

1. Casino Royale

Kyo28 · 06-10-2008, 07:44 AM

Depends what you like of course, but I'd recommend Speed, The Rock and Troy (there's just something about massive armies in HD).

The movies section of this site gives consumer reviews on every movie on BD. I prefer "regular" peoples' opinions more that of "professionals" .

I agree 100%, I almost never agree with critics. Critics look for certain things that not everyone requires to enjoy a movie. They're too picky! But that's their job.

1. Casino Royal
2. The Rock
3. Ratatoullie

I'd also like to point out that out of the list, I own The Prestige, Casino Royale, Troy, and The Rock on standard DVD already. I'm just wondering if those are worth the upgrade as well because I watched Troy on my Blu-ray and it looked pretty darn good. Thanks.

Now that is funny putting Cloverfield after a movie that has recieved crap reviews across the board. And that movie would be 30 Days of Night. That was a complete piece of garbage. I guess it looked a little better so it is a better movie. Concerns me when I see people rate a movie by looks along. Looks do not make a movie. They help but in no way make a movie. But then again it is just peoples opinions.
