![]() | Batman [Blu-ray] [1989]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.40 Honestly, its not much of an improvement on the 2005 Special Edition from which its ported, though I suppose having all the features on one disc is appealing.
|
![]() | Batman Begins [Blu-ray] [2005]
Buy used from: £12.00 Well, I only upgraded from DVD to see the Dark Knight prologue included on this as an incentive. The main film hasn't been cleaned up by much.
|
![]() | The Dark Knight (2 Discs) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £7.00 Now we're talking. The non-Imax scenes are gorgeous, but the non-non-Imax shots are the kind of stunning that makes your TV purchase wholly worthwhile. AND the film was such a gem, too.
|
![]() | Casino Royale [Blu-ray] [2006]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.50 Another somewhat disappointing transfer. Perhaps the double-dipped disc is the one with the goods. This is just a kind of average awesome.
|
![]() | Dark City [Blu-ray] [1998]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £7.97 Dark City is the best looking older film I've seen so far in HD (if eleven years is a valid use of 'older'). This presents both versions in HD, and has decent extras too.
|
![]() | Dawn of the Dead [Blu-ray] [1978]
Buy new: £17.99 A brilliant set with an impressive transfer, I found myself most impressed by the shots of the sky. I've reviewed it in much more detail, have a look.
|
![]() | Eagle Eye [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £11.88 / Used from: £7.15 Ah, a purchase from my less discerning days. Eagle Eye is a joyous, idiotic Shia LaBeouf popcorner, but not quite worth the extra fiver or so I paid.
|
![]() | The Fly [Blu-ray] [1986]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.40 Seeing Geena Davis' maggot-baby in HD is alarming, but it's a testament to the SFX artists that it holds up so well. The 2-hours-plus documentary is another reason to buy.
|
![]() | Hellboy [Blu-ray] [2004]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.20 Trims some of the fat from the 3-disc DVD, but keeps the best extras, thankfully. Also, the film looks great, but not amazing.
|
![]() | Hellboy 2: The Golden Army [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £7.60 Arguably the best looking HD disc I've ever seen. Every colour is full and uncompressed, every set looks spectacular, the whole thing is just marvellous.
|
![]() | Iron Man [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £17.88 / Used from: £11.90 At times astounding, at times underwhelming, it was a fiver so I can't complain. Great extras.
|
![]() | L.A. Confidential [Blu-ray] [1997]
Buy new: £9.88 Top performances all round, but another underwhelming transfer. Better than the DVD (by a considerable margin) but still a little lacking. Another set I bought for new extras, all excellent.
|
![]() | Monsters, Inc. [Blu-ray] [2001]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £9.99 Perfect. See my review for unabashed gushment.
|
![]() | No Country For Old Men [Blu-ray] [2007]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £8.99 Ah, my first Blu. It looks fab, like looking out a window at a world lit by Roger Deakins. That made more sense in my head.
|
![]() | Ratatouille [Blu-ray] [2007]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £8.28 It's a testament to Disney that their DVDs still look amazing, rather than going down the route of making the DVDs rubbish to sell the Blu Rays. In short, not much different.
|
![]() | Reservoir Dogs [Blu-ray] [1991]
Buy used from: £9.79 Very surprisingly excellent transfer. Colour correction issues from the Artisan DVD SE are fixed, and all the extras are present, with a few new ones, all in an awesome package. Definitve Edition.
|
![]() | Shallow Grave [Blu-ray] [1994]
Buy new: £10.98 Tables, dead Kieth Allen, mentallist-in-attic, they all look superb. Again, see review.
|
![]() | Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Skynet Edition Steel Tin [Blu-ray] [1991]
Buy used from: £29.99 Mercifully has both versions of the film (technically three), and an OK set of PIP extras, also a great, cobbled-together commentary. Again, the best version available of a classic film.
|
![]() | The Thing [Blu-ray] [1982]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £9.39 Awesome. Features the most tense scene I can remember in any movie, also, the HD image is some improvement upon the DVD, and the extras are ace.
|
![]() | Trainspotting: Ultimate Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] [1995] by Ewan McGregor
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.49 Basically the already-brilliant SE DVD with a few new extras (decent ones, too) and in HD. For a lower-budget British film, cleans up remarkeably well.
|
![]() | Transformers [Blu-ray] [2007]
Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £10.25 Very amazing to look at. Head and shoulders better and more credible than it's sense-numbing sequel.
|
![]() | The Transporter [Blu-ray] [2002]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £14.16 The only good Transporter film, but not just that, it's actually REALLY good. On my wish list for an age, I'm glad I finally forked out the £6 for it. Looks amazing, lovely warm image.
|
![]() | Unforgiven [Blu-ray] [1992]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £7.49 Another classic I've only recently discovered, it looks stunning. I think I prefer this sort of thing on the format over big-budget blockbusters. The extras are great, too.
|
![]() | WALL-E [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £8.00 Saved the best for last. Just amazing. Buy it even if you don't have a BD player, just in the event that you may eventually get one.
|
![]() | Rush - Snakes And Arrows [Blu-ray] [2007] by Rush
Buy new: £11.98 Oh yeah, my one concert Blu. It's amazing, even for 1080p. I feel this particular show was the best choice for HD, given the adult direction style employed.
