Hey everyone,

I think it will be great to put together /recommend a list of the movies that are worth watching in no less than high-definition/Blu-Ray.

There are a number of movies which may not be great plot-wise, but are a treat for the eyes.

So, here I start :

1. 300 :-D
2. Up !
3. Wall-E
4. Red Cliff (Chinese)
5. Step Up 2 : The Streets (Just for the end sequence :-D)

Yes, we already have a thread for "must watch movies" - but what I wanted was a place where we can recommend movies one can enjoy for their amazing visuals and sound, and not just the storyline. Well, if the movie also happens to have a great story, then it's always a perk.

These are all award winning BBC tv series, available on Blu-Ray

Planet Earth, lots of great visuals and cutting edge cinematography in all kinds of exotic locations, turn off the commentary and listen to music

The Story of India, keep the commentary on (really good story is the perk here)

and Human Planet, visuals are stunning

Its a good movie when I watched in theaters then it is better and better when I downloaded and watched in HD :-D

baraka (1992) - no commentary, no dialogues, nothing! just plain superb visuals & environmental sounds with some complementing background score. towards the end you will realise the sublime message in the movie.

lifecycles - although a movie with bicycles as its main 'protagonist', you don't need to be a bike rider to watch & enjoy this. shot in 'super-HD', with breathtaking camera-work & visuals and scintillating soundtracks, most of them by amitabh bhattacharya from 'data romance', this documentary will make you surrender to itself time-and-time again to watch it repeatedly!

^no Blu Ray is just not about the quality of the video
btw, the size should be around 50 GB
there are extras, different ways to watch the movies (in Japanese audio or English audio for Final Fantasy for eg), bunch of subtitles, director commentaries, games, behind the scenes documentaries, historical documentaries on topics covered... all of this is just the staple, there's often more in the box
that thread was Blu Ray , this thread is HD, apparently its all the same
nobody cares about all those extras in Blu Ray, it's as if people consume only the movies from these discs which is just bizarre

Don't know about you guys but the dark and gloomy environment plus those slo-mo scenes looked awesome.
And during the big gun fight bullets whizzing past characters,wood splitiing due to impact from bullets was spectacular.

Btw you should index them in the first post.

Microcosmos (1996) - Plot Summary
A documentary of insect life in meadows and ponds, using incredible close-ups, slow motion, and time-lapse photography. It includes bees collecting nectar, ladybugs eating mites, snails mating, spiders wrapping their catch, a scarab beetle relentlessly pushing its ball of dung uphill, endless lines of caterpillars, an underwater spider creating an air bubble to live in, and a mosquito hatching.

So basically a thread where people should recommend movies with amazing visual effects and action, and story is optional:

1. Transformers series.
2. Harry Potter series.
3. Battleship.
4. Batman series.
5. Avengers and Iron Man series.
6. Thor.

I'll come post a few later, here is another list: Weta Digital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (all movies made after 2000)

Also Discovery Earth, Life series.

Guys I was planning to get hold of some good Blu Ray collection?

Is that supposed to be a question? Because, I don't see it qualifying as one no matter how many times I read it.
If it wasn't, why end the statement with a question mark?

The point I'm trying to make here? Its simple. Stop being a grammar Nazi when u don't even know what a Swastika is.

hmm according to me the real reason for getting blu-rays is for the extras. 1080p rips are not the same experience as a blu-ray disc at all. So this thread would be better with a discussion on what extras come with the movies, and how good they are, and if they are worth collecting.

What you are asking is piracy. Nobody comes to see what you do in your home. But if you talk about that here that would violate the forum rules. You should read more rules ASAP.
