I'm really pissed off that the Americans are getting the original Nightmare on Elm Street on blu-ray as well as the Last Emperor and not us here in Europe. Does nobody here buy blu-ray or something?

The spider bit is class, but answer me something: is Blu-Ray that much better?

Sure... it's the same movie at four times the native resolution running at a higher bitrate than you get on a regular DVD. Obviously you don't need blu-ray just like you never needed DVD's over VHS, but I think the difference is more than worth it considering blu-ray players are getting cheaper.

You occasionally get some poor transfers of older movies though. Chungking Express was disappointing in this respect.

It's probably a very strange thing to be saying, but I actually like a film to look like a film - that grainy, picturesque quality rather than total clarity. Takes away from the magic for me.

I remember watching The Fellowship of the Ring on HD and my eye was struggling to stay with the action because everything was so crystal clear. Spent most of the time watching the blades of grass behind them.

I found the cinematography in the LOTR trilogy incredibly ugly and digitised anyway. The visuals in LOTR get too much praise imho.

I'm also a fan of film grain and analogue photography, but sadly digital filming has largely replaced it due to being less costly. Suffice to say, analogue movies look even grainier on blu-ray.

The one thing though that I would love to watch on Blu-Ray or HD is any wildlife series from BBC, like Planet Earth or Blue Planet. I'd say they are spectacular on it.
