Batman [Blu-ray] [1989][Region Free]
1.  Batman [Blu-ray] [1989][Region Free] 
The list author says:
  "Honestly, its not much of an improvement on the 2005 Special Edition from which its ported, though I suppose having all the features on one disc is appealing."
£8.49   Used & New from: £4.19
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Batman Begins [Blu-ray] [2005][Region Free]
2.  Batman Begins [Blu-ray] [2005][Region Free] 
The list author says:
  "Well, I only upgraded from DVD to see the Dark Knight prologue included on this as an incentive. The main film hasn't been cleaned up by much."
Used & New from: £6.96

The Dark Knight (2 Discs) [Blu-ray] [2008][Region Free]
3.  The Dark Knight (2 Discs) [Blu-ray] [2008][Region Free] DVD ~ Christian Bale
The list author says:
  "Now we're talking. The non-Imax scenes are gorgeous, but the non-non-Imax shots are the kind of stunning that makes your TV purchase wholly worthwhile. AND the film was such a gem, too."
£12.69   Used & New from: £4.92

Casino Royale [Blu-ray] [2007][Region Free]
4.  Casino Royale [Blu-ray] [2007][Region Free] DVD ~ Judi Dench
The list author says:
  "Another somewhat disappointing transfer. Perhaps the double-dipped disc is the one with the goods. This is just a kind of average awesome."
Used & New from: £3.49

Dark City [Director's Cut] [Blu-ray]
5.  Dark City [Director's Cut] [Blu-ray] DVD ~ Rufus Sewell
The list author says:
  "Dark City is the best looking older film I've seen so far in HD (if eleven years is a valid use of 'older'). This presents both versions in HD, and has decent extras too."
Used & New from: £12.95

Dawn of the Dead [Blu-ray] [1978]
6.  Dawn of the Dead [Blu-ray] [1978] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "A brilliant set with an impressive transfer, I found myself most impressed by the shots of the sky. I've reviewed it in much more detail, have a look."
£9.49   Used & New from: £8.20

Eagle Eye [Blu-ray] [2008]
7.  Eagle Eye [Blu-ray] [2008] 
The list author says:
  "Ah, a purchase from my less discerning days. Eagle Eye is a joyous, idiotic Shia LaBeouf popcorner, but not quite worth the extra fiver or so I paid."
£6.97   Used & New from: £2.63

The Fly [Blu-ray]
8.  The Fly [Blu-ray] 
The list author says:
  "Seeing Geena Davis' maggot-baby in HD is alarming, but it's a testament to the SFX artists that it holds up so well. The 2-hours-plus documentary is another reason to buy."
£6.25   Used & New from: £4.69

Hellboy [Blu-ray] [2007][Region Free]
9.  Hellboy [Blu-ray] [2007][Region Free] DVD ~ John Hurt
The list author says:
  "Trims some of the fat from the 3-disc DVD, but keeps the best extras, thankfully. Also, the film looks great, but not amazing."
£6.49   Used & New from: £4.89

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army [Blu-ray][Region Free]
10.  Hellboy 2: The Golden Army [Blu-ray][Region Free] DVD ~ Ron Perlman
The list author says:
  "Arguably the best looking HD disc I've ever seen. Every colour is full and uncompressed, every set looks spectacular, the whole thing is just marvellous."
£5.99   Used & New from: £3.22

11.  Iron Man (2 Disc) [Blu-ray][Region Free] [2008] DVD ~ Robert Downey Jr.
The list author says:
  "At times astounding, at times underwhelming, it was a fiver so I can't complain. Great extras."

12.  La Confidential [Blu-ray] [1997][Region Free] DVD ~ L.a. Confidential
The list author says:
  "Top performances all round, but another underwhelming transfer. Better than the DVD (by a considerable margin) but still a little lacking. Another set I bought for new extras, all excellent."

No Country For Old Men [Blu-ray] [2007]
14.  No Country For Old Men [Blu-ray] [2007] 
The list author says:
  "Ah, my first Blu. It looks fab, like looking out a window at a world lit by Roger Deakins. That made more sense in my head."
£7.77   Used & New from: £3.38

Ratatouille [Blu-ray]
15.  Ratatouille [Blu-ray] DVD ~ Brad Garrett
The list author says:
  "It's a testament to Disney that their DVDs still look amazing, rather than going down the route of making the DVDs rubbish to sell the Blu Rays. In short, not much different."
£11.69   Used & New from: £5.97

18.  Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Skynet Edition Steel Tin [Blu-ray] [1991] DVD ~ Linda Hamilton
The list author says:
  "Mercifully has both versions of the film (technically three), and an OK set of PIP extras, also a great, cobbled-together commentary. Again, the best version available of a classic film."
Used & New from: £25.00

The list author says:
  "Awesome. Features the most tense scene I can remember in any movie, also, the HD image is some improvement upon the DVD, and the extras are ace."

The list author says:
  "Basically the already-brilliant SE DVD with a few new extras (decent ones, too) and in HD. For a lower-budget British film, cleans up remarkeably well."
