Just starting it, and slowly. I've asked my wife for Casino Royale on BD for Christmas, but I am worried my 10 & under boys will find it & want to watch it since they know about 007 movies. NOT kiddie appropriate, so that's one to store out in my office.

Speaking of HD movies, though, I rented The Maltese Falcon last night via the Apple TV. (takes sip of Apple Kool-Aid) Wow, that looks good in high definition!

Maybe I'll look into getting some good old B&W movies on BD too.

I was hoping Wall-E would be a great BD movie because it's contemporary, computer-generated, and could look fabulous in 1080p. When we rented it last week in BD I thought the graphics looked over softened and aside from the look I didn't think the story was very compelling. Oh well. In this category I'll be getting Cars.

Maybe it's that my TV is *ONLY* 42" but I'm having a hard time noticing better definition in the BD than in upscaled DVD. The TV's a good LCD with true 1080p and 120-Hz refresh, though. Leaves me wondering whether it's the TV size or a heavy dose of lossy compression and DRM used in the BD that might be bringing down the way movies look. Well, I should stop there because I'm not trying to change the course of the thread. I just only wanted to mention why I'm slow to dive into a library of BD movies.

Oh Hoople -- Speed Racer! I never even bothered to watch Speed Racer as a kid, but I sure liked the movie. I especially liked the cinematic effects they chose to use, the visual timeline swiping with multiple simultaneous dialogs, and that they'd do campy things like mock/mimic the way the animation was. (Like when Speed's in trouble on the mountain and there are those dumb shots of Trixie & Sparky going "OH!" ... brilliant!)

[StarHalo]

Still waiting for the price of Blu-Ray players to drop, but until then there's all the HD movie channels on FiOS..

 

[tiktok 22]

Considering taking the plunge...

My first BR movies will probably be...

1. Ironman
2. Shooter
3. Indiana Jones (crystal skull)

(they're on sale at Wal-mart tomorrow (5 to 11 a.m.) for $15 each.

 

[PhantomPhoton]

No plans to buy blu-ray yet. Comparing a Blu Ray video to a up-converted DVD video there's rarely any noticeable difference on a 1080p television. Tried it with a friend's Blu Ray and my DVD player on a couple different screens with a couple different movies. Just not worth the current premium price.

 

[Flashanator]

Im waiting for all Star Wars movies on BL

If it happens...Probably 2015:mecry:

I love watching BL on my GIANT!!!! LCD monitor, the detail smacks you HARD in the face.

My next BL movie is Ironman.

 

[HoopleHead]

Im waiting for all Star Wars movies

hopefully they provide the option to watch the old "THX" cut! hate all the new inserted crap :sick2:

 

[Sgt. LED]

Easy!
Not a freaking one.

 

[StarHalo]

Still waiting for the price of Blu-Ray players to drop

Of course I would post this before perusing the Black Friday newspaper flyers - Wal-Mart has a Samsung Blu-Ray player for $139..

GETTING THE POP CORN READY TONIGHT. Glorious 1080p:naughty:

I cant get over the HUGE sexy eye candy compared to the DVD version. Suddenly DVD seems like VHS.

 

[NeonLights]

None. I've several hundred movies on standard DVD and VHS. Just don't see the attraction of spending more money for movies I already have, or spend more than a standard DVD costs for better resolution that I could care less about, not to mention the added expense of yet another DVD player. Maybe in 5-10 years I'll get around to it, or when standard DVD disapears.
