[Jacob1983]

I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what movies are good in the Blu Ray format?

I got blu ray on my laptop... and I got 300 as my first movie...

it just looks epic.

I've heard that you must have Planet Earth though.

90% of people who buy planet earth are pretentious , they will watch one hour, then let it collect dust forever

I seen them all, and some disc I seen twice because it a 4 disc set

Coraline
The Dark Knight
Matrix
Watchmen
Benjamin Button
300
Underworld
Bolt
Troy
28 Weeks later
Pitch Black
Jet Li's Fearless
Chronicles of Riddick.

Pretty much anything with action is a must. Netflix is the best way to go with bluray.

luva u actually like Chronicles of riddick? just wondering most people think its bad, but i think its a badass sci-fi movie just like pitch black-pretty much the character of riddick is just badass.

As for blu-ray, watch the matrix reloaded on it-for the freeway scene alone it is 100% worth it...i bought the whole blu ray matrix collection-that's a purchase i definitely will never regret. amazing

I don't trust blu ray with that friggin' HDMI. I had nothing but troubles with it when using a blu-ray player at work for showing self-recorded material. The player always assumes I am using a pirated disc and the screen remains blank.

Other than that I agree that action movies look awesome on Blu-Ray.

congratulations you are in the 10 percent, i don't see the point of your post, useless and self congratulatory

planet earth, wall-e

[nkdlunch]

Bram Stoker's Dracula. Saw shit I did not notice on regular DVD

Chronicles of Riddick was a step down from Pitch Black, but it was cool, and it looked much better on Bluray. The Matrix series is about as good as it gets with Buray. I got Aliens (1986) in the mail today. Gladiator is released on Bluray on 9/1/09.

Braveheart, too. :worthy:

[BlackSwordsMan]

UFC best of 2008 looks awesome on bluray

[SonOfAGun]

Pretty much anything in 720/1080p looks awesome.

[Bender]

would BR discs look any better on a regular non-HD TVs than regular DVDs...? Probably not, I'm kind of behind the times on this stuff

I figure I would reply to the post that didn't help with what the original poster ask.

Didn't want you to be off topic by yourself so I join in.

no it wont, checkout slickdeals daily and you can get a 40in 1080p for cheap, good brand too. right now there is a special for a sony one at sears.

IMO it does look a little better. No way it compares to a good HDTV but there is something special about tube CRTs that still "look good"

unless your are watching your dvd's analog and your BD on a 6 color component that is available on the newer tube crts you really shouldn't. max is 480p
