    I recently ditched my 360/HD-DVD player, and purchased a PS3. So I've got that and a fancy 1080P LCD...now I just need to know what the best options are for blu-ray movies. I've read that MI:3, Ice Age, and Superman Returns all look excellent. Any others that I should check out to really show off my new setup?

    Also, does anyone use Netflix for blu-ray? I'm wondering if they have a limited selection which means long waits to receive your movies, or are they available fairly quickly?

    Pirates of the Carribbean 3 looks amazing!!

    The best is Planet Earth. You have to see it to believe it.

    Fourtheded...........wife bought me Planet Earth. Ridiculous. We bought a 1080P plasma for the bedroom, and we never go to the media room anymore.

    Casino Royale
    Shoot Em Up
    Layer Cake
    Planet Earth

    These are just a few of the better looking ones IMO.

    No Country For Old Men is out today for BluRay I believe. I don't have a player, but that'll be one of the first I buy when I do.

    There are tons of great looking Blu-ray titles available, but here are some of the best in terms of category:

    Animated - Ratatouille

    TV Show - Lost: The Complete Third Season

    Live Action Film - Spider-Man 2 & 3

    Concert - Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City

    All of the aforementioned titles also have great lossless/uncompressed audio.

    This looks amazing. Cars looks good too. Planet Earth is great, but pricey.

    I haven't heard much about delays, but I have heard that sometimes DVDs get shipped instead of blu-rays.

    How much of a difference is there in watching a movie on blu-ray vs. HBO HD? I have never seen a blu-ray.

    I must jump in and join the crowd in insisting on Planet Earth.

    I watched it on blu ray on my friends' 1080p plasma after the superbowl.

    It is the the most beautiful video footage I have ever seen at any place. Period. Nothing has ever given me such desire for a HD set.
