I third Speed Racer. Also The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China look amazing on Blu-Ray, it's insane how well those were cleaned up.

I was just going to recommend this, too. A truly amazing-looking film.|

I feel Watchmen Ultimate Cut is a must have for any Blu-Ray collection.
Smurfs.
Cause they're blue.

Watchmen, Iron Man 1&2 and Serenity. I suggest watching the Firefly series on blu-ray before Serenity, though. Good stuff.

It is, and I think there's additional extras on the blu-ray as well. I'd also recommend Unforgiven, the color is so much more lush than on DVD. Repo - A Genetic Opera looks and sounds amazing on blu-ray too, if it's not too weird or musical for you.

You guys forgot Terminator Salvation and Full Metal Jacket. Troy is good on Blu-Ray as well.
Scott Pilgrim
Forbidden Planet
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series. (blu-ray version) Seriously, if they showed this in stores the things would sell much better. I made the mistake of bringing this to a friend's New Years party once, the whole party just stopped to gawk at the beauty.
Having been watching my Babylon 5 DVD's on my new 55" LCD, I truly hope that WB and JMS can iron out the technical (and probably financial) problems and get that series on Blu Ray.
Okay, so far I picked up:
- Batman Begins
- The Dark Knight
- Speed Racer
- Sunshine
- The Fifth Element
- The Patriot
- Pan's Labyrinth
- Spider-Man
- Spider-Man 2
- Spider-Man 3
- Inception
- The Fountain
- Watchmen
- Planet Earth
I also have Supernatural Seasons Four and Five on Blu-Ray coming (they were uber cheap on Amazon and I needed those seasons to complete the set). And my dad got me Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam.
Unfortunately, I have to return Sunshine, because the latest Blu-ray player firmware update enabled picture in picture compatibility but if your TV doesn't have picture in picture settings you can't turn it off, and Sunshine is apparently the only Blu-ray to have picture in picture commentary.

Also, some older movies are getting cheap transfers to Blue Ray and ending up in bargain bins. I bought the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood, and was completely shocked at how crisp and beautiful it was.

When I first got my Blu-Ray player I picked up the live action Speed Racer movie. Not only is it a fun little flick, it really shows off some great color depth in HD.
