Blu Ray Films

MI5 — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:09:21 GMT

Having just bought a Blu Ray player (yes, I know I'm a few years behind, but....) I was wondering what films you guys have got on Blu Ray that really show off it's full potential....?

Black hawk down and saving private Ryan are possibly the best ones I own. (Remastered versions)

Best orginal blu ray movie I have is avatar.

Side note saving private Ryan on blu ray with 7.1 DD is a match made in heaven:)

LoTR and Avatar are great on blue ray. What did you have before, MI5? Just a normal DVD player?

Casino royale, superman the movie is even more epic in HD & the sound quality is brilliant too,

District 9 looks brilliant on Blu-Ray MI5.

Also, whilst it's pure popcorn viewing, Transformers does too.

Transformers 3 on blu ray is absolute mint in sound quality & the HD picture is just out of this world

Yea, good point Toby, didn't think of that one.

Stuart, is that movie itself any good? I haven't seen transformers since I was 8 or something

It's good in the way that the film looks & the graphics, action & sound but the story is mainly just the same as the other two each side looking for a particular object & trying to destroy each other whilst megatron appears to be controlling the whole thing but there is always something bigger than megatRon running the whole game

Just out of interest has anyone had the luxury of experiencing 4k or UHDTV?

Nope, never heard of those until you mentioned it, 3d tv is just a fad, too expensive & a lot of people won't buy it

Agreed:) blu ray is the pinnacle of quality at the moment. 3d is just a poor gimmic that I hope doesn't take off.

But 4k makes HDTV look like a CRT haha. Beautiful!

It won't take off as you need to have at least £3000 to buy a 3d tv then you need to buy the glasses which I think start around the £50 mark, then if you have sky, you need to buy the 3d channels. There aren't many 3d DVDs or blu rays available either

Right, thanks all for the suggestions - I have a few on my shopping list now
Yes Leonard, just a normal DVD before but obviously have a lot of DVD's too so just want to replace some of the "epic" movies rather than my whole collection.....
