Matt’s Top 10

Blu-rays of

2011!

 

10. Tron Legacy – I was not all too impressed seeing this the first time, but I warmed up to it eventually, and consider it a solidly entertaining, special effects laden film. The Blu-ray looks rad.

 

 

9. Super – The most underrated film of the year. A freaking masterpiece in my mind. James Gunn is simply a genius, and so is this movie.

 

 

 

8. Jackie Brown – Tarantino’s most underrated film hit Blu-ray recently, and the video/audio blew me away. Oh yeah, the film is pretty good too. 😉

 

 

 

7. Rise of the Planet of the Apes – What’s that over there? Oh it’s just my jaw dropping from watching ROTPA. Caesar found his home… in my BR player.

 

 

 

6. Attack the Block – Well, bruvs. This is my favorite film of the year. The Blu-ray is no exception. A great transfer, with a solid amount of special features. Trust.

 

 

 

5. Bridesmaids – The best ensemble cast of the year contribute to one of the best looking Blu-ray’s of ALL TIME! A personal favorite of mine, and who could resist Rose Byrne?!

 

 

 

4. The Big Lebowski – Did you think I’d forget about this, man? Did you think I was out of my element, dude? I was just as excited as anyone to see The Dude (Jeff Bridges) on the Blu screen, man.

 

 

3. West Side Story – An absolute classic. One of my favorite musicals of all time features a phenomenal transfer and has spectacular special features.

 

 

 

2. Star Wars: The Complete Saga – No explanation necessary.

 

 

 

1. Pulp Fiction – “Oh I’m sorry did I break your concentration?! Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead. I shot marvin in the face. Dorks, they look like a couple of dorks.” My all-time favorite film, now on Blu-ray. Fine with me!
