In Reply to: Which movies are better in Blu Ray than DVD? posted by joel_hifi on February 1, 2009 at 09:46:36:
I have thousands of DVDs, and wouldn't upgrade more than a small fraction of them even if I could eventually get them all on BD. Thing is, many will likely not make it to BD, for all sorts of good reasons.
Here's the ones I "upgrade" from DVD to BD: generally action and wide-scope drama, movies with lots to see and hear. Comedies are generally (so far) to be avoided as IMO the transfers are typically sub-par and you won't benefit much from the lossless sound (there are some great exceptions though!!). There are a lot of crappy BD issues that don't look much better than upscaled DVD, rushed to market...usually you can tell as they are the cheapest BDs out there.
I also upgrade anything I watch a lot or really like...kind of obvious.
Use google "blu-ray review movie_name" and check out the titles you're thinking of upgrading to help eliminate the real dogs. Again, there are LOTS of crappy BDs out there, being on BD is no guarantee of any sort of quality. I personally will not buy a BD that doesn't have lossless sound as IMO that is part of the HD experience...I guess most people here would agree sound is important.
