Need advice

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Hi guys. I just purchased a PS3 today and I would like to know which movies are the absolute best looking ones for Blu Ray. Possibly the top three for everyone. I already have a Toshiba HD-DVD player and I love it, I am just one of those guys that has to have everything when it comes to technology. Please don't bash HD-DVD, I am just here for some friendly advice. Thank you.

Wow, don't all answer at the same time. Nevermind, I will visit some review sites and take their word for it.

Thanks, I had Kingdom of Heaven in my hand today, but then put it back. I'll check it out.

KOH is good, but in a subtle way. I would recommend Transporter 2, that will blow your socks off, and it has some of the best sound I have heard also. Transpoter 2 is just popping with contrast and is always bright.

i would pass on KOH if you are not already a fan of the movie itself. To me, KOH= Kingdom of Haze. Mostly dark and smoky picture. There seemed to be a fog of smoke in just about every scene

The only problem with getting Transporter 2 is that then you have to, um, watch Transporter 2.

I'd recommend Black Hawk Down and definitely KOH as well. Both look fantastic, and they happen to be great movies as well.

As a dual format owner myself, my personal favorite and top 3 picks for blu-ray are as follows:

01) Tears of the Sun
02) XMen 3 - The Last Stand
03) The Convenant

Other ones that I think are really good but not as great as others put them at but would still suggest are:

01) Kingdom of Heaven
02) Pearl Harbor
03) Ice Age
04) Black Hawk Down
05) Underworld

I havent seen Transporter 2 or The Descent which seems to be getting alot of compliments

I actually liked Transpoter 2 , but I agree that Black Hawk Down would be my next choice followed by Underworld Evolution. I agree that KOH, While sharp, is always Hazy.
