Will you please let me know what the Matrix and Pirates of the Caribbean trilogies are like, in terms of BR quality? I've never seen any of the Matrix (yes I know!

) and I've seen the first two of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. I think both trilogies count as good enough to get on BR, if I get them at all.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (really good transfer imo and a great film)

Totally!
Bought the 30th anniversary edition as my first blu ray purchase for the sentimental reason that it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema as a kid.

The Matrix looks beautiful, watched one last night.

Heres a youtube video, just to give you an idea of the difference;

Epic films/amazingly shot films make HD worth it eg

2001
Early James Bond's (sooo good in HD)
Gladiator
There Will Be Blood
Let The Right One In
Coraline
American Psycho
Amelie
BBC Planet Earth

Thanks for the link. The difference between 720p and 1080p is night and day for me. Think I'll have to get the Matrix trilogy on BR sometime. :cool:

Cheers Dan. I've asked for some BRs myself but the Pirates of the Caribbean and Matrix won't be amongst them. I've seen the first two of the Pirates trilogy so I'd like to get that on BR. Matrix looks good from the Youtube vid but more evidence would be good.
