Yes, all wopuld probably be good on blue ray, except 300 thats gay!!!

 

Films like snatch/deliverence and lockstock just dont need to be glossy and prefect, they are grim films, (in a good way) and HD can look too sterile IMO.

 

SHow us your veiwing set up then, or have I seen it already, cant remember.

As long as the sound is good, more important than the picture I think. Sound is more moving, HD doesnt make a film more moving or get you involved more, its just better but has no benefit to the films overall enjoyment on an emotional level, and good filsm should have some emotional effect on us, even if thats just laughter.

 

I remember watching last of the mohicans on a pirate VHS!!! Sound was terrible, picture not much better but I could see and understand what was going on but I had emotional involvment.

 

Watch it now on DVD with full 7.1 surround sound and its a much better film, getting it on Blu ray would make it look fantastic but it wouldnt be anymore betterer in terms of how you feel about it, sound has that ability more I think.

Having said that, sound on Blu ray is a bit better aswell.
