Here is a link to Blu-Ray picture quality if you want. Personally, all you need is The Departed and maybe Black Hawk Down http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=753726

Babel has a pretty good picture, in my opinion. A great movie as well.

It's a Warner movie,  all Warner movies are on both Bluray and HD-DVD,  however Warner movies usually get better audio on HD-DVD.  The Departed was the exception,  audio rocked on both versions.

Exactly what i said,  the picture quality is not very sharp,  its kinda soft. 

And here is a definition of "film grain"

Film grain or granularity is the random optical texture of processed photographic film due to the presence of small grains of a metallic silver developed from silver halide that have received enough photons.

Granularity is a numerical quantification of film grain, equal to the root-mean-square (rms) fluctuations in optical density, measured with a microdensitometer with a 0.048 mm (48-micrometre) diameter circular aperture, on a film area that has been exposed and normally developed to a mean density of 1.0 (that is, it transmits 10% of light incident on it). Granularity is often quoted "times 1000", so that a film with granularity 10 means an rms density fluctuation of 0.010 in the standard aperture area.

When the grains are small, the standard aperture area measures an average of many grains, so the granularity is small. When the grains are large, fewer are averaged in the standard area, so there is a larger random fluctuation, and a higher granularity number.

The standard 0.048 mm aperture size derives from a drill bit used by an employee of Kodak.

In digital photography, image noise sometimes appears as a "grain-like" effect.

This is also depend on what kind of projector you watching in... if you are sitting in those rooms that still uses old projector for films you will get that grainy effect.... however in the DLP projectors, the image is quiet good...... and if you got Sony IMAX... the picture and sound will blow you away man.

i have seem almost all the bluray movies on netflix, and Crank is the most impressive quality movie of them all. animations movies always look good, so most of them are the best quality. Crank is the best of all bluray movies i seem. Even if you don't like the movie, it's worth the money to pick up Crank just to showoff the best of the best blu ray quality movie.

Did I just killed the thread? lol.  I know it's meant to be HD, but would I see a difference if I watch a blu-ray movie on a standard tv?
