...almost all movies will look far better on BD than DVD, even on a smallish screen, say 40" and up. BD is simply a superior medium. Plus, the sound is always better, at least so far.
I've heard of very few poor transfers - The Fugutive and Lethal Weapon II come to mind as releases that have not found favor due to artifacts. There is also some grousing about edge enhancement and removal of film grain on some few releases - e.g. Zulu, for the latter, although I thought it looked great on BD. There are lots of review sites such as DVDBeaver.com and hometheaterforum.com where the various releases are discussed and rated for PQ and sound.
Blu-Ray does wonders for - of all things - classic B&W movies, which look gorgeous on BD. The Searchers is also stunningly beautiful on BD. The Criterion colection is releasing on Bu now too, which makes me very happy.
So if you love a movie and want to see it in the best home format possible, buy it on Blu. Otherwise, rent it on Blu. OTOH, we know there will be some films that will not make it to BD any time soon, if ever. Such is life. So I'm sure I'll always have many DVDs in my collection.
