Ah yes, I do remember you saying as much the last time I griped about no UK release...

Jurassic Park
The Gremlins Collection (Gremlins and Gremlins 2)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Phantom of the Opera

All for a grand total of £10 from That's Entertainment (and the pain of having to power walk back to campus before I missed my afternoon seminar).

Ordered Three Kings today.

My Name is Earl S1-4 boxset for a bargainous £17.99 from Play.

Recent purchases include:
Mongrels S1
The Hammer Horror Series Boxset
Labyrinth & The Dark Crystal
Mean Girls
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Phoenix Nights s1&2

A minor Amazon splurge occurred today.
Season 2 and Season3 of Entourage may have been ordered.

I pre-ordered War Horse and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows the other day. I'm quite excited for both arriving.

I bought Michael Jackson's Vision today. I think he was the best musical artist ever. This collection of all his videos is awesome, and the packaging is simply amazing.


Those little images are those things (whose name I forget) where they move when you tilt them, so it has little clips from his videos as the cover. Really neat.
It also comes with a big thick booklet (about as thick as a DVD case) with production photos from all the videos.

What should I buy as my first ever Blu-ray purchase?

It obviously needs to be something that will make the most of the medium, but at the same time I don't want to buy something crap (so no Transformers!).

I'm leaning towards Star Trek, at the moment.

Any suggestions?

I have heard that the Star Wars Blu-rays look great, but of course they're also the newly cut versions.
Star Trek would be a good one, and cheap too most likely.

Anime movies look amazing on Blu-ray, really sharp and clear. So something remastered into BR would be good, if you like that sort of thing.

Lenticular images. That's what they're called.

Not going to happen, no matter how good they look!



Good idea, I'll take a look to see what Studio Ghibli films are available.

Apparently the blu-ray transfer of the Back To The Future trilogy is just fantastic.
Also Planet Earth and Life in HD are just staggering.

I agree with Kei. Planet Earth was my first Bluray. It's pretty astounding.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was actually looking at Yellowstone earlier as well.

HOLY CRAPBALLS I WANT IT!

US exclusive it seems though. And £90.

The complete first season of [the increasingly inaccurately named] Space 1999 on Blu-ray for just £25.00 from Amazon!

I loved that show. Gotta love the funky intro music, and the quick-cuts of what's going to feature in the episode.
