The Bluray Video Quality thread.

4 Blu-Ray purchases in the last two days.

Singin' in the Rain
Lost in Translation
Clerks
T2 Skynet Edition

I love all 4 of these movies... so much...

 

What's the deal with the Akira Blu-ray? Is it out of production, now? Everywhere I look (besides that link) I see it going for ridiculous prices. I got mine at Best Buy, but I haven't seen it in an actual store since. It seems bizarre to me that a film like that would go out of production. Surely they'll re-release it at some point. Surely.

 

T2 Skynet arrived the other day, quality is amazing. Bonus features are really good too. Thanks for the recommendations guys

 

I have that too. Tell me if you find away to play the deleted scenes full screen and not in a stupid little box.

 

Show me what you mean, I didn't notice that at all while watching them.

 

I think it got a very limited release.

 

tbh i didnt even realize it had a US release

 

These are the last BluRays I got sent over from the states. Wayne's World 1 and 2, both classic comedy films and the Indiana Jones collection. The bonus features BluRay disc has 7 hours of footage! well worth buying for Indiana fans.

Indiana Jones BD is out already? Damn!

 

Yeah, but try and get the European version if it's compatible with your player because the US release has really shitty packing. The discs slide in and out of a card sleeve which will scratch the disc if you're not careful and you need to hold the disc at the top and bottom resulting in finger prints on the readable side of the disc. The European packing is much better. Quite like my Die Hard DVD set.

 

Raiders of the lost Ark had a 1 week run in the states on IMAX the week before the Blu Ray set came out and it was pretty epic. I forgot so much about the movie it was like seeing it for the first time again.

Only really BAD Indy is Temple of Doom, I don't think Crystal Skulls was horrible just... Stupid

 

Some Bluray releases i'm looking forward to...

The Bond movies came out today. Looks like a pretty sweet box set. Hopefully the movies look good, too.
The Universal Classic Monsters Essential Collection comes out next week.
Little Shop of Horrors Oct. 9. CANNOT WAIT.
Alfred Hitchcock collection.
E.T.
And of course The Princess Bride.

I better track down some more money...

 

For what it's worth I compiled my favorite movies into an IMDB list.

The Top 4 consider a Tie, I can't really decide.

Finally got around to taking some pictures of my small Blu-ray collection. The one near the top that's difficult to read because of the glare is 12 Monkeys. Admittedly, they're not all great movies, but whatever.

Some good movies there.

 

In case anyone can't find the Akira Blu-ray, it's still available in Australia (Madman Entertainment publishes it) and the disk is all regions.

 

thanks for the heads up. I'll pass my self (never really liked Akira) but I'm sure there are a few here who will buy it.

 

Akira is available just fine in Europe BTW, unfortunately it's not region free.

(mouse over to see the old version)

 

That looks a lot better, I had actually thought about getting Terminator 1 on BD and now there's a new, better version so no reason not to.
