    Agreed the Dr No v Bond dinner banter is top notch. -{

    I'm still shocked & awed by how big DN looks on such a teeny-tiny budget. And Blu Ray just makes it all look so much more incredible! Blu Ray also made FRWL look rather more spectcular than I ever remember (even in the theatre). GF is really good, but not the astounding difference I see in the first two, or YOLT.

    I'm on the Netflix Blu-Ray program for $10/a month. Assuming I send back the DVD's the very next morning after I watch them, I could probably watch 7-10 films a month.

    I saw Quantum of Solace on Blu-Ray. It is pretty.

    Question: is TWINE really a lot better on BR?

    Goldeneye :
    Looks pretty much the same as the dvd, perhaps a little better. Although as we're moving into
    the more modern Bonds, perhaps the differences may become harder to notice. :) also
    Goldeneye hasn't been cleaned up by Lowry Digital, Pity.

    Tomorrow never Dies :
    Looks much better than GE, great punchy colours and contrast, and good sound. In fact one of the
    extras is an Isolated Music Track, so you can listen to David Arnolds brilliant score.

    The World is not Enough :
    Good picture quality, better than the dvd, with the usual deep colour and great sound. Very good
    indeed.

    Die another Day :
    You might not rate the film very highly, but the Picture looks amazing, great detail, colours etc. Even
    the sound sound great, plenty of Bass for explosions etc.
    all discs have the usual extras, all well worth a watch.

    Is outstanding. :)

    Wow...it was freaking amazing...It looks as if the movie had been released this summer! Sean Connery's face looks as fresh as Justin Bieber's. You get a better sense of the environment they're in, you can see details in the background I never knew were there.

    Now I'll get FRWL and OHMSS! -{

    My FRWL DVD was a little muddy looking in places; the Blu Ray upgrade is truly astounding. My OHMSS DVD looks good enough for me though.

    Casino Royale :
    Great Quality picture and sound, although the modern films don't look greatly
    Different on DVDto bluray, but if you look closely you can see the superior
    Quality of the bluray copy. All the usual extras and deleted scenes etc. I used
    To get really excited about deleted scenes,until after watching them  I had to agree
    With the Director /editor for not including them, as they didn't add much to the
    Story.
    Today I'm watching all three Craig Bonds in a mini  Bond marathon :D

    Just now finished TB on Blu Ray & that concludes my Connery 60's marathon on BR... my thoughts on the visual...

    DN & FRWL were absolutely astounding. 10/10
    GF was noticeable better.7/10
    TB was fairly awesome. 8/10
    YOLT rocked. 9/10

    My ranking as favourite films after BR viewing:
    #1 DN
    #2 FRWL/YOLT (SO close)
    #3 GF
    #4 TB

    Quantum of Solace :

    Noticeably better picture than the DVD, with punchy sound. It's light on
    Special features and no commentaries ! Which is odd as in an interview
    Marc Forester has said he did record one ? We might have to wait for a
    special edition.

    ^ Never saw the DVD of Quantum of Solace but the Blu-Ray looks beautiful!
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Skyfall:

    Stunning picture quality, Great contrast and colour, with Punchy sound quality. It both
    looks and sounds great. This has the usual commentaries and making of extras.
    So that's all the Official Bluray collection.
    I can say that the Bluray of NSNA, is pretty good but hasn't had the Lowery restoration
    so some scenes don't look as good, special effects etc. Sill the comentary is interesting
    if not overly informative. Although you can usually pick it up cheaply on Amazon.
    Now roll on SPECTRE. :D

    I was thinking the same thing! Although the initials J.B. provide a teensy bit of a connection! :))

    Justin Bieber will be Bond in 2032, for the 70th anniversary of DN. He will be a Moore type of Bond. :D

    If Sam Mendez ever makes James Bond gay and philander around with men, I want Justin Bieber to the Bond-boy.
