So i was thinking about it, I don't really plan on buying that many movies in Blu Ray mainly because I already have all the ones I would watch multiple times in DVD. But there are a few that I think I would LOVE to see in the newer more detailed format (vs dvd). So my question is What 5 movies would you rebuy (you already own in a lesser format) just to see in a better format?

LOTR: Return of the King 5. Transformers I'm skeptical that movies shot in the 80's were even shot in a high enough resolution to matter.

Interesting thread on that, it really just depends on what they were recorded at, but a lot were recorded on 35mm which is actually 5k pixels (which is way more than enough) to downgrade to HD. http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-movies-video-clips/27017-can-old-movies-made-into-hd.html
