a =picture,b=sound c= if possible great at both i only have a ps3 but cant upgrade till mid next year as xmas ect
 
For PQ "No country for old men" and "3.10 to yuma". PQ and SQ "Quantum of Solace" although some people have trouble getting into this film.

If you like a good documentary "Planet Earth" takes some beating for PQ. IMO
 
No offence smuggs but a few dodgy BD there

a few of my favourite discs i'd recommend are as follows: Cars, Ratatouille, Wall:E, Monsters Inc and Ice Age

The Dark Knight, HellBoy II; 3:10 to Yuma, I Robot, Zodiac, Apocalypto, Kill Bill 1+2, Zulu, The Italian Job(-1969 Michael Caine) and Zulu to name a few.........

Oh and Oldboy and Pan's Labyrinth and Band of Brothers

I'd suggest:

The Incredible Hulk, Watchmen DC, Sin City, Spiderman 1&2, T2, Benjamin Button
 
yep would have to second monsters inc, walle and pans labyrinth especially for PQ

if you dont have transformers then thats great for picture and audio
 
thank guys i like buying the 6.99 ones off play that i have not heard of hense some of the dodgy ones. i have jotted down them and im buying 1 every 2 weeks so that will keep me busy till xmas many thanks simon
 
Messiah:I would add 'The Dark Knight' and the 'Band of Brothers' box set.

Agree 100% with messiah but would also add planet earth box set as well

One I watched recently that surprised me (especially sound) was hellboy 2
 
Ones that haven't been mentioned, for sound (and pretty damn good picture) the Kill Bill films, whilst for purely great cinema experience, 2001.

Also, although already mentioned, I'll put the Spiderman Trilogy as worth picking up as it's a great set of demo discs (as well as just enjoyable popcorn cinema) and can generally be found pretty cheap.

None of them are dodgy. Or for children.

Didn't know The Shining was on BR now. And American Werewolf in London is coming soon.

I'd certainly reccommend The Dark Knight.
 
bought bolt it was for my 2 year old but the sound is class watched dark knight on sky hd and it was unreal for picture and sound,how much would i gain from the hd audio soundtrack.
 
All excellent suggestions my top tip would be Kung Fu Panda HD soundtrack and visualls are reference quality in my opinion

"Master and Commander" has a great HD soundtrack some might question the actual film but I enjoyed it

Question the film? Not me! Nobody I know either. Awesome film, in my top 5 fave movies and one of the few I had on DVD which I replaced with BD almost immediately upon getting my player.

The sound is great, my TV does struggle with the scenes of intense fog, but it's an old 720P without 24 FPS and only 50hz too. Newer tellies (I hope) will fair better.

Awesome sound track even on DVD.
 
I am legend. For the opening scene. The metallic red paint of the Mustang as it drives through the empty streets looks so vibrant and, well, real.
 
STP PRESS: I half-watched a blu-ray last night that I would describe as the most awesome picture quality I have ever seen. There is no real dialog in the film. Just lots of incredible images. Its called Baraka. Took my breath away.

Its not a film you can watch and say wow, that was a great film, but the picture and images will blow you away.

You seem to like any film Smuggs!

I would add to others' lists, Pans Labyrinth, Big Fish, Hairspray, Before The Devil Knows Your're Dead, Sling Blade, Oldboy, The Corpse Bride, The Zodiac.

Best for picture and/or sound is still awarded to Spiderman 3, Ratatouille, Bolt and Band of Brothers.
