I heard that the Gladiator BR was awful and that the automated "noise cleanup" software removed some flying arrows!
Got a tip for us?

This is an Apple forum. Blu-Ray is dead, bitches! DEAD!
But yes, Up is friggin' amazing on Blu-Ray.
Supplanted by the superior 720p itunes HD
I bought blade runner but haven't watched it yet. The DVD transfer was pretty bad, so I'm looking forward to getting around to it
The first must-have Blu-ray disc to show off your HDTV is Disney/Pixar's Cars. I have it and playback on my Sony KDL-40EX500 TV and Sony BDP-S370 player is flat-out jaw-dropping with clarity so sharp you could see all the details of all the "cars" in the stands.
Anything Pixar -- Up was amazing.
I just got the 10th Anniversary edition of Fight Club...pretty awesome

Got Up and it looks and sounds extraordinary. It's nice that it includes a DVD copy as well. I popped in the Blu-ray and put the DVD in my 360 and quickly A/B'ed them against each other. Even though I'm in my mid-20s I'm <-> this close to buying the full Pixar collection on Blu-ray.
Fight Club is on my short list. I'm a little torn on whether or not to buy The Lord of the Rings set, as it doesn't include the full director's cut.
Aliens is by far my favorite film of all time. I've never seen it on DVD and the copy I watched growing up was a tape that my dad recorded off of HBO. It was grainy; the darker scenes were barely distinguishable; and the tape's audio would sometimes "warble" as old tape does--it was awesome. Dare I re-watch it in the pristine, crystal-clear quality of Blu-ray?
Planet Earth is outstanding on BluRay. I've watched it a few dozen times by now.
I'll vote again for Up. Amazing to watch.
Band of Brothers is good too.

That is, by far, one of the best war shows of all time! It is amazing on Blu-ray.
Band of Brothers was my 101st Blu Ray bought, I am currently waiting to receive it in the mail and I am very excited to check it out as I have heard many good things.
I would hold off on the LOTR box set. Peter Jackson has said that the extended editions should be released by late 2011- early 2012. I know it's awhile away, but the extended editions are much better then the theatrical releases of the LOTR films.
And Alien is an awesome movie, Sigourney Weaver is one of my favorite actresses.

I agree with this,
If there was a parallel universe where James bonds were made to fight each other to the death, Daniel Craigs James Bond would be the last one standing
It's my first Blu-Ray purchase.
Got it Monday and I'm impressed by what I've watched so far.

I watched a couple minutes of it, and it looks to be like i am going to like it.
I give Planet Earth a +1, it looks fantastic.
Ratatouille was my original gold standard for next gen hi def quality. I think most will agree that majority of Pixar films on Blu-ray are well worth the purchase.

Fixed that for you.
Theyre just beautiful particularly WALL-E.
Another cool one to watch is Transformers. A lot of people I talk to didn't like that movie though. I thought it was action packed and overall pretty good.
