I sneaked in an extra DVD into my Top 10 (11) ! and bump...any other lists?

 

Have to add the Dirty Harry Collection on Blu-ray. All the above listed titles are great too.

 

There were so many excellent BD's that I have no strong feelings about which were best. It would be a lot easier to list the few that were poor like Patton and The Longest Day.

The ones I enjoyed the most were Burn After Reading, The Assination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, The Big White, and Black Narcissus.

 

Most any Disney Blu-ray from 2008 was just excellent in my opinion. "Sleeping Beauty" is amazing for a 50 year old film, both the animation and the transfer.

Top Gun -- jets, jets and more jets.

 

I haven't seen the Blu version. Does it have updated sound? It came out before all the Dolby Digital 5.1 fun years ago.

 

Baraka is the best-looking Blu-Ray of this past year.........

 

and whoever has it from Netflix....please send it back....I've been waiting to see it for months now.

 

The Assassination of Jessie James By the Coward Robert Ford this looks awesome of blu ray.
