Howdy,

Just ordered an external Blu Ray drive for my MacBook Pro, and have the Apple 24" Cinema Display on order too. :D Looking to buy my first Blu Ray disc to show me what it can do, but I can't decide on what. :confused:

Wandered around town today looking for something that I thought might be *spectacular* to watch, but couldn't really see anything. Was looking at Transformers as a possibility, but need alternative options too. I'm looking for something that was filmed in HD natively, not upscaled for Blu Ray disc.

Don't really mind what genre it is, I enjoy blockbuster action movies, comedies, rom-coms, animated, you name it. Anything you guys could recommend for really showing off Blu Ray?

(Side question: How do those upscaled older movies look on Blu Ray? Are they significantly better than DVD or is it better to give them a miss?

I have Star Trek and Transformers 2 on order, but those aren't out for a month or two... :(

Ta muchly! :)
 
Many thanks for all the replies!

In the running at the moment:

Transformers
Iron Man
Ratatouille (Love this movie, not as big a fan of Wall-E, though it's still good, and this screenshot made my jaw drop!)
The Dark Knight
Firefly and Serenity

Will need to have another look around the shops Monday afternoon, see if I can find them for decent prices. :)

By the way, how does Heroes look in Blu Ray? What about Dollhouse?
