Ten movies you must own on BluRay?

Avatar is only worth watching on Bluray, and I'll third Star Trek. The Batman and Ironman films look pretty snazzy too.

My mates with PS3's only like terrible movies, so I'm more able to tell you movies that do not look very good on bluray...

Your upset just because they don't like "Nights in Rodanthe"

These are the best looking films I own on Blu, in no particular order, so I can vouch for pic quality.
My library of High Def media (Blu & HD DVD) spans 90 films/shows) and I watch them on a Full HD Panasonic Neo Panel Plasma the retailed for $2800 and is considered one of the best of the '09 models.

1. Dark Knight
2. TF1/ROTF
3. Ironman
4. Anything from Pixar (Up looks particularly stunning, I also own Wall.E & Ratatouille on blu)
5. Fight Club
6. Tropic Thunder
7. Spider-man 3 (it looks great, that's about it :P)
8. Star Trek (new one)
9. Hellboy 2
10. Monsters vs Aliens

I'd love to recommend Terminator 2, but they went overboard with the noise reduction and it really hurts the image depth. A must for big fans, like myself, but not really reference material.

I'm curious as to why you included Fight Club and Tropic Thunder? Great movies but does it matter how good of quality it is to watch it?

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

I liked watchmen on blu ray too

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

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

detail is heightened (especially in regards to textures and fabric - Norton and Pitt's dilapidated mansion never looked so gloriously grimy), and there are no instances of artificial sharpening or DNR.

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

Wow thats beyond what I look for in terms of a movie worth buying on blu ray.

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?
