2001: A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]2001: A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $8.67
This is, hands down, the best looking transfer of 2001 you will ever see. This film has been remastered for high-def beautifully. It is truly a sight to behold in 1080p. You can't go wrong with any of the Staley Kubrick Blu-Rays really but this should be your starting point.
A Clockwork Orange [Blu-ray]A Clockwork Orange [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.45
This is another fantastic Stanley Kubrick Blu-Ray release from Warner Brothers! Like his other films, the studio really outdid themselves with this transfer. I have never seen this film look better. Color plays a very important role in this film and each and every color pops on this disc. More than worth your money.
Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray]Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.99
There was a previous Blu-Ray release of this film that doesn't look as good as this version. This newer, remastered version looks flawless. I really commend Warner Brothers on the job they did with their Stanley Kubrick films on Blu-Ray. Order this one. You'll be glad you did.
Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $15.38
I am really thinking Warner Brothers is leading the way in quality Blu-Ray releases of classic films. This five-disc set of Blade Runner is simply stunning. Honestly, this Hi-def transfer looks better than when I saw the film in theaters. You can't go wrong with this one.
Halloween [Blu-ray]Halloween [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.87
Anchor Bay did a better job transferring this classic film to hi-def than many of the majors are doing with much newer films. The black levels look wonderful on this one. It also doesn't undermine Dean Cundey's classic cinematography. This is definitely a Blu-Ray to add to your collection. None of the film grain issues seen in other films of this age.
TMNT [Blu-ray]TMNT [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $6.50
Perfect. What more can you say about this wonderfully done CGI film transfered to 1080p resolution. This Blu-Ray presentation looks better than the theatrical one. If you want a nice reference piece for hi-def animation, this is the one.
Rambo 1-3 Boxset [Blu-ray]Rambo 1-3 Boxset [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $24.93
The original three Rambo movies have been remastered beautifully for Blu-Ray. With this set you can truly appreciate Andrew Lazlo's cinematography in the original First Blood. Lionsgate did an excellent job on this set. Well worth the money.
Rambo [Blu-ray]Rambo [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.09
The latest Rambo movie looks absolutely perfect on Blu-Ray. The disc maintains a stunning image quality while also retaining the true look of film. Well worth the money and a must for your high-def collection.
Earth: The Biography [Blu-ray]Earth: The Biography [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $13.16
This BBC documentary series hosted by Dr. Iain Stewart is very informative and presents some of the most stunning images of the natural world you will ever see. The high-def transfer is flawless. This Blu-Ray is a feast for the eyes and will teach you a lot about how the Planet Earth works. Gorgeous and fascinating.
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2-Disc Unrated Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2-Disc Unrated Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $8.41
It's a real shame that this movie didn't do better at the box office. It is a dead-on parody of the musical biopic. This isn't some poorly written parody movie for teenagers, it is brutally funny because it is so on target. The songs alone make this movie a must-see. The image looks beautiful and the Blu-Ray features both the theatrical and unedited versions of the movie. Highly reccomended.
