CNET's Top 20 must-have Blu-ray Discs
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-18438_7...html?tag=rtcol 31 March 2009 By David Carnoy We used to do a feature highlighting some of the top DVDs that made your home theater really look and sound like one. Well, with Blu-ray in full swing, we thought it high time to come up with a similar roundup of our favorite Blu-ray Discs that will help show off your home theater in all its glory. ....... Also: if you're someone who likes demoing your system and skipping around between scenes, you'll want a fast Blu-ray player. Right now, the fastest players we've tested are the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Samsung BD-P3600. Though not quite as fast as its step-up sibling, the Samsung BDP-1600 is among the fastest sub-$300 players we've tested (we'll update these "fast" player picks as we review new models). 1. Baraka 2. Black Hawk Down 3. Blade Runner [Collector 5 disc] 4. Casino Royal 5. The Dark Knight 6. How The West Was Won 7. Iron Man 8. Live Free Or Die Hard 9. Mad Men [Season 1] 10. No Country For Old Men 11. Pirates of the Caribbean-Black Pearl 12. The Police-Certifiable 13. Ratatouille 14. Rescue Dawn 15. Ronin 16. Sunshine 17. Transformers 18. Tropic Thunder 19. Wall-E 20. Youth Without Youth |

Uh, well, at least they have a list of must-haves.
Note that they are in alphabetical order. Actually, they are all good ones, except I haven't heard much good about Youth without Youth (haven't seen it either). I would leave off a few of the action flicks and add Planet Earth and some family must-haves like Sleeping Beauty, and some concerts, but that's just me. |

that's a terrible list!
Doesn't matter that it's alphabetical, where's 'Planet Earth', 'Bolt', 'Kung Fu Panda', 'PotC: Dead's Man Chest', and 'Apocalypto'. 'Ratatouille' and 'Wall-E' should be in the top 5. The list has a few good titles, but even 'Doomsday' looks better than 'Black Hawk Down'. And as much as the movie may suck, 'Australia' is phenomenal looking compared to their top ten. This is a terrible list.

I'm surprised Ronin is on the list. Good movie, but the disc is hardly reference quality or even of the caliber where you'd want to show it off to family and friends who might be on the fence about Blu-ray.

Tropic Thunder a must-have? I know comedies (and movies in general) are subjective, but really?

Honestly, that's a pretty sorry 'Top 20 must-have Blu-ray Discs' CNET dropped the ball on that one.
Only really consider 2 of the 20 must haves, but that's just me. Just a bold list, that comes up way short. |

Oh it's a must have in my book. I'm a little dissapointed Pan's Labyrinth isn't on the list though.
