so what are the must own blu rays in your opinion. It is my intention to mainly get new movies in this format as i have been burnt in the past with old films issued on a new format.
i look forward to some honest suggestions

Newer movies...hmmmm so many...
- Planet Earth if you haven't seen that in HD already.
- Iron Man, Dark Knight, Band of Brothers, Casino Royale, Coraline, I Am Legen, IRobot, Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton), Quantum of Solace, Transporter series looks good in HD, Tropic Thunder...just to name a few.
I know I'm forgetting some other great looking and sounding blurays but others here will chime in. Oh and if you can, by them used on sites like craigslist in your area. You will save TONS of money that way.

bladerunner- the same applies to you apart from i don't have spirit which got quite bad reviews but again i am tempted with this one.
just ordered cliffhanger as its well cheap and i do like this film but for some reason have never got it

View profile »and just because you own a movie on dvd or have seen it does not mean that you have really SEEN it if that makes any sense. so with that being said may I recommend these 3 titles for quality of movie AND presentation. just to get you started...
2001
the dark knight
wall-e
after you see these in hd it is my guess that cliffhanger isn't going to cut it even though it is a fine film.

I think Equilibrium is out on bd. I have it on an Japanese HDDVD (as: Rebellion) and it was quite good. I'm sure the bd will be as good or better.
**A must have for Halloween is Trick 'r Treat which was just released on bd. This movie is a real FUN ride.**
Coroline.
Pan's Labyrinth. (in 7.1 Spanish)
Stardust.
Out of the mainstream: The Fall (absolutely amazing imagery), Sukiyaki Western Django (a weird Japanese western, interesting imagery) and Immortal (an off the wall French sci-fi film).
Any restored Disney animation. (Whew)! God, I'm quardipppple dipping on these for my daughter. I bought her MANY of these on vhs when she was little (which she still has) and now on bd as she moves into her new house.

As i have just got the player it is my intention to get a few films just to get me going without duplicating what i already have. My intention is to get all of the new releases on blu-ray from now on (eg-transformers 2,star trek etc etc). Its just that i have got the player and bugger all to watch onit if you know what i mean

StevePro, Equilibrium is available on bluray although at the moment I think it's in Canada only. Also it has a DTS HD audio track on it that is not mentioned anywhere on the cover. Nice secret bonus.
