Depending on your viewing tastes Pat, I can recommend a few films that are amazing on blu-ray.
. Lord of The Rings extended edition box set
The films are still on two fucking disks unfortunately, and the bonuses are on DVD disks because they were filmed on a VHS camera somewhere at the arse end of 1999 and there is no point putting them on a blu disk, but it's well worth getting.
. The Godfather trilogy
Great restoration, nice bonuses. Throw the third film out the window though, you'll thank me later.
. Apocalypse Now
Another great restoration of a Coppola film. Trippy Vietnam film. Includes an Ox or something getting hacked to bits, nice.
. Blade Runner
Cult cyberpunk film with a great electronic score. The future looks like shit, but the film will look great on your telly.
. Tron Legacy
Plot is thin on the ground, but the visuals will probably make you cum.
. Hobo With a Shotgun
Self explanatory.
As for television shows on blu-ray, avoid most stuff going back earlier than 2009 as it's mostly just upscaled tat and not much better than DVD.
There are some decent restorations of stuff from the 60s and 70s that were shot on film though, like The Prisoner.

Started using Netflix instead. After a few days browsing around it for free I dont think there is enough content yet to justify paying for it. Some fine stuff there, but it'll need to grow more before getting my dosh

Thanks for the reccomendations Chris, i have seen a few of those. I saw Apocolypse now a few years ago, excellent film
Also intend to get Blade Runner already, seen it many times, one of my fav films, cant wait to get the blu ray version! Tron Legacy i may pick up, i played the game and it was pretty good so might check out the movie
Godfather films ive never seen, dont worry ive already heard the 3rd is crap lol
And yeh i hear ya on the tv thing, the quality couldent possibly be improved much if it was filmed pre 2009. I bought "The Walking Dead" first season which is epic, cant wait for the second season to come out!

From memory I dont think Godfather 3 is shit, but just seems that way because it was merely "good" in contrast to the classic status of the other two. But I'm sure Joe will correct me if I'm mistaken

We should probably close it and start a new one to spite his REM loving corpse.
