probably slightly biased but I think Serenity looks fantastic. Obsviously The Dark Knight is one of the top ones.

Planet Earth would probably be a good one

Pestilence · 27 May 2010 at 02:44

Of any in my collection, the one that really makes me go "wow" every time is District 9. Phenomenal quality.

I see you already have that, though, so...erm...if you have a good sound system grab Punisher: War Zone, Star Trek (remake) and Inglourious ********.

ash_scotland88 · 27 May 2010 at 07:46

I just bought the blade runner final cut dvd set....£30 down to £6!

Parents have the planet earth boxset.

Cheers for the list Secret Army, question tho, why do so many poepe prefer hellboy2 over hellboy?

The Dark Knight definitely

Also, apparently Wall.e is great too

ash_scotland88 · 28 May 2010 at 00:04

Despite being a distinctly average film Cars looks incredible on bluray, especially during the race scenes.

+1 for Star Trek and Dark Knight.

Watchmen, 300 and Sin City all look stunning as well

I'll never understand this, I thought 1680 is HD quality?

yoyo50 · 28 May 2010 at 15:46

It is HD quality, just not FULL HD 1920*1080 aka 1080P, i think
