    Transformers the cartoon movie looks great on Blu-ray. Star Trek as well.

    both are very visaul films in thier own way, Tropic has large set peices on par with any real action film and the jungle setting is perfect for HD. Fight Club is an incredibly viseral film and visuals go a long way on selling that, IMO a good blu-ray film doesn't need to be a GC toon or action jackson, but how the visuals aid in story telling

    Fincher is great at visuals and blu-ray helps sell his vision far greater than SD formats ever could.

    It looks good, but there's room for improvement.

    The Matrix trilogy boxset.

    Dont bother getting TF The movie (cartoon from 1986), I dont think you will see improvement compared to normal DVD. But I stand corrected.

    I see a lot of remakes into DVD and Blu-Ray and they are pretty woeful.

    Whilst its good to have a BD player, are you hooked up with a 1080p TV and a decent surround sound system?

    I like to pretend I'm a budding film buff :P

    I bought Planet Earth on HD DVD just for the scenery, the Walrus beating crap out of a Polar Bear was a bonus.

    Actually I would agree with you on Planet Earth. Seeing earths beauty in all its glory is worth it and all in the comfort of your own living room. I think I just sold the idea on myself lol

    You mean you 'stand to be corrected'? Ok...correction coming up. There's a massive improvement from DVD to Blu-ray. I have both. The colours are so rich and bright on the Blu-ray it feels like a different movie. Well worth getting.
