Any Blu-ray You Delighted To Own?
Just in terms of picture and audio quality (no Barry Norman film reviews please!) which Blu-Ray Discs have you been delighted with ?

Despite comments that it is the 'worst' version I would say that the US release of Pans Labyrinth is a superb example of what Blu-ray can offer - an almost 3D picture is paired with an amazing DTS Master Audio soundtrack.
Other favourites are Kingdom Of Heaven (Region A) and Rescue Dawn (Region A).

Spiderman 3 is amazing. The Sandman scene is visually and acoustically stunning

A perfect transfer of a beautiful looking film. The animation and attention to detail is incredible  |
