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.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
