It is the era of Blu-Ray and gorgeous 1080/720 dp resolutions. And it will be the future of home-viewing too. If you have a home theatre with a full HD TV or plasma screen with a HD/BD player, this thread will come in handy.


Just be sure to get at least a 25-inch TV, if not more. The bigger the screen, the better visual experience.



Wall-E - Quite possibly one of THE best Blu-Ray/HD experiences one will ever get to see. The post-apocalyptic environments, the gorgeous long sweeping shots, the huge spaceship, coupled with a rollicking soundtrack (which sounds sweet on a 7.1 sound system), makes Wall-E an experience to behold.

Star Trek - This film is meant to be seen in a widescreen theatre, or on BD. Trust me. The superb stunning landscape and space sequences and the awesome sound effects will take your breath away.

2001: A Space Odyssey - See above.

Avatar - See above.

The Dark Knight - See above.

Sin City - See above.

Casino Royale - It looks very crisp. Specially the title sequence alone will make you gape.

Quantum of Solace - See above.

Corpse Bride - Yet another exhilarating HD experience, much like Wall-E. These latest animated films are the best to have hit BD yet.

Alice in Wonderland - See above.

Coraline - See above.

9 - See above.

Speed Racer - The film might have tanked and got panned by the critics, but there's no denying the fact that Speed Racer is one of the most visually stunning films ever made. The Wachowskis made some really fantastic use of color throughout the movie and it shows! You will never forget this BD once you have finished watching it. As far as the film goes, the races are the high points. There is a short sequence of flying through the city which looks great as well.

The Cell - Tarsem Singh's visual journey of brilliance is a MUST to be seen on BD. Jaw-dropping visuals, and what use of colors!

The Fall - See above.


and now for some horror...


Survival of the Dead - Romero's latest offering is a visual treat on BD. Remember to watch it in full 1080.

The Burrowers - Quite literally will sweep you off your feet with its fantastic western landscape shots and night photography.

The Crazies - As realistic as can be. Visuals are crisp and the sound is out of the world. If ever there was another reason to watch this remake, this is it. On BD.

Zombieland - See above.

Rec & Rec 2 - The whole experience of both movies gets very atmospheric and scary once it kicks in on BD. The sound and visual effects will make you bite your nails as hard as you would in an IMAX theater.
