I compiled a massive library of DVDs over the years, only to learn of the coming of HD (Blu-ray) discs in the not too distant future. So, I have a lot of movies twice. I haven't repurchased everything I had on DVD, I have tried to follow a simple rule -- Only repurchase on Blu-ray movies I'll watch repeatedly. For example, I have The Godfather trilogy on DVD. But I didn't buy it again on Blu-ray. I did buy Airplane! a second time, because I know I'm gonna watch it again and again as the years roll by. The Godfather is, obviously, an infinitely "better" movie, and I wil] watch it again. But not nearly as often as I'll watch Airplane! and the other movies I've bought on Blu-ray.
With that fascinating background in mind, here are some of the movies I have on Blu-ray:
Airplane! (Not gonna bother with italics, I'll be here all night lol)
