Dear Manu2598,

You have taken six posts to post your list of 160 'must have' blu rays. Can you tell us now why do you think these are must have blu rays?

Dear Manu2598,

I Guess the same reasons that others have posted their lists (based on their likings).

 

[just4kix]

You could have posted the whole list in one item. Are you trying to subtly increase your post count? Ha! Ha! hyeah:

Was travelling yesterday and updating on the go from my phone hence the shorter posts. Today, am at home, so could sit on the desktop and draw out a bigger list. What could be the reason to increase post count?

Master And Commander - The Far Side of the World

A true masterpiece on Blu-ray. The P/Q is amazing and the A/Q is outstanding.
A reference quality picture and sound which will put you straight into action.

A must have in blu-ray.

Rockstar...Superb music, i bought it just for the music, movie in itself is mediocre

Allow me to go a little off-topic...
Could anybody please tell me, what do we mean by 'Reference Quality Picture and Audio' ?
I have read this term in most of the BluRay disc reviews, but never came to understand what exactly it indicates technically !!

Well. It means that the disk/movie/content can be used as a standard to check pq and aq of various av devices.

For example, the movie 'Hugo 3D' is most often used as a reference material to check out quality of various 3D TV's.

That is a very good question....

As, just4kix said it is a standard for checking the quality of audio & video in av devices.

I just wanted to add a few more points here.

In simple terms, the disc is mastered or written with data (audio & video) of the highest standards which can be used to check, any available av devices those permit these formats (Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA for audio and MPEG4 AVC or VC-1 for video). Now these formats are of the highest quality, so the disc can be checked for output whether one is enjoying the same as meant to be presented.

Now, it does not mean that all the blu-ray movies have the same reference quality a/v in them even if they have the highest formats. The transfer from the source to the disc is the most important aspect in recording the data. And this is why certain movies on blu-ray are said to be of reference quality.

Some movies of reference quality in my opinion (what I've watched):
300 (Video & Audio)
Behind Enemy Lines (Audio)
Black Hawk Down (Audio)
District 9 (Video)
Fight Club (Audio)
Master and Commander - The Far Side of the World (Video & Audio)
Saving Private Ryan (Video & Audio)
The Dark Knight (Audio)
The Godfather Collection The Coppola Restoration (Video)
The Matrix Collection (Audio)

There are many more of the reference quality movies on Blu-ray which I've come across but not watched them.
More light can be given on this topic by likewise/senior members here in HiFiVision.

You should try some Pixar movies for blu-ray. Cartoon movies seem to look great in blu-ray

One more to the addition.

3:10 To Yuma

Starring: Russell Crowe & Christian Bale
This one is a splendid movie on Blu-ray for its video and audio qualities. A true masterpiece and Oscar nominated with several other awards won.

The video transfer on Blu-ray is fabulous and stunning. The colour reproduction is accurate to 100% and one may feel that whether he is watching a live content rather than a video on Blu-ray. 10/10

The audio on the other hand is presented in 7.1 PCM and is superb and the best among all. It will keep all the 8 channels (tested with 6 channels) quite busy throughout the movie playing accurately and distortion free.
Each and every sequence is presented timely and matched with its corresponding sound, for example the gun shots fire with a great amount of reverberation in the open fields, which make you feel as if you are near the action. A sure winner for audio. 10/10

It is also presented with some extras and its worth. I have tested this movie with the US edition which comes region free.

A must have in Blu-ray.

thats wrong, I wouldn't comment on being a masterpiece but certainly it was not Oscar awarded, it got two nominations in the musical department.

Well, commenting on being a masterpiece or not is totally an individual's taste and no where I have mentioned that it is regarded or awarded as a "masterpiece". It is my own thoughts on the movie.

Secondly, I thank you for pointing out the mistake I made in writing the review for Oscar awards.
Yes, I misread the information and posted it and now I have corrected the information, taken from imdb.com.
