Slowly building up a collection of Blu-Ray movies. Obviously every movie should not get the Blu-Ray treatment. So far I have:
Inglorious Basterds
Casino Royale
Watchmen
What I want;
Blade Runner
Matrix
The Shining
Laurence of arabia
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Kingdom of Heaven

Any of the Rush ones are great, Dave Matthews Band has some good ones, David Gilmour Live, Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scotts.....all superb but of course you have to be a fan of the music first

Kingdom of Heaven | I don't understand how these deserve "blue ray" treatment...the source film was recorded in nothing even close to the resolution that blue ray produces. So they just brighten and remaster the original film and call it Blue Ray so people will buy it. Unless the original film is recorded in the same format, total waste of $$ imo.

I'm going to get Footloose and Pete's Dragon on Blu-ray.

-Mike | ummm, only to collect 150 and sell those off too later? you can make your monitor/tv brighter without having to pay extra for it...
