So I finally got a blu ray/dvd player and I'm watching Life of Pi on it right now. The quality is fucking awesome. Any other recommendations for movies that look really cool on blu ray? So far I have the Great Gatsby, Skyfall, and Life of Pi.

Actually, if you arent a complete fucking idiot, you can get it for the same price.

Brand new releases will come out $15 on DVD, $25 for BD/DVD combo.

Wait a smidge, and you can get BD only for $15 or $20 and fuck the worthless DVD.

If you have a 1080/24p TV of decent size, yes, BD is awesome and the way to go. Not only cause of the video quality but also the 7.1 lossless audio as well.

If 6x the resolution is "a little better" you either need a bigger/better TV or some glasses.

I've been getting them off Amazon for like 5 bucks. It's actually pretty fun compiling a sick blu ray collection. I'm a big fan of movies/home theater type shit so I'm into it.

I agree, Olympus Has Fallen was kind of bad but it was entertaining. And Gerard Butler's the man in my book.

Gravity on blu ray was pretty wild. Just saying.
