In July of last year I wrote my first BLOG here to list my favourite films.
I update it periodically to indicate when I've acquired the film on Blu-ray Disc, or when one has been announced or released:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/blogs/pecker-51915/492-my-favourite-films.html
I've just updated it again, and have noticed that, out of the 75 films listed, 37 are out on Blu-ray Disc (or were out on HD DVD), with 38 as yet not released or announced. In other words, one more and over half of my favourite films are out or announced in high def.
To be fair, it's probably already more than 50%. Since I first compiled the list I think I've mentally added a few films I've recently watched or re-watched, almost all of these on Blu-ray Disc.
So, for anyone who says there are no good films on Blu-ray Disc...
