    What are the *must-have* blu rays TP?
    I have TLD & LTK (both amazing IMO), and TND is coming... please recommend what I need next! ;)
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Wait for a holiday sale and splurge on the Bond 50 collection. Well worth it! Especially when I sneak into your house to put Moonraker in your Blu Ray player :D

    YOLT is a beautiful transfer IMO. The space scenes look great, Japan looks more incredible than ever.

    I enjoy the commentary on this film, though I prefer a in studio 'recorded live' format instead of a compilation of actors and crew sound bites about certain parts. It would have been great if they could have gotten Lewis Gilbert to do a commentary. With this transfer being released so recently, they will likely not have a new edition for a few years now.

    Obviously, the ultimate dream is to have Connery commentaries like Moore did for all his films. Sadly, I highly doubt that would ever happen.

    Cheers -{

    Enjoy. I may indulge in some YOLT this weekend too. Aki most underrated Bond girl!

    I fully agree Moose, To have Connery doing a commentary would be heaven. {[]
    For Me, Chrisisall, I must have them all........... Even NSNA. :))

  • MooseWithFleasMooseWithFleas Philadelphia, PAPosts: 753MI6 Agent
    Hah, I was just in the middle of searching for NSNA on blu-ray because there was a time when every copy was selling for over $70 usd. Not sure why exactly, there are copies on Amazon now for 16, but the case doesn't say collector's edition so I am wondering if it has the extras.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    The copy of NSNA that I have is the ordinary bluray and the extras
    It has are ....
    Features on a the a girls of NSNA
    Sean is Back
    The big gamble
    Trailer
    Commentary by Irvin Kersher and Steven jay Rubin.
    If that's any help.

  • MooseWithFleasMooseWithFleas Philadelphia, PAPosts: 753MI6 Agent
    Ok great. This is very helpful! And your cover doesn't say Collector's Edition anywhere? Just want to make sure I don't have to double dip as I'm only trying to complete my collection.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Mine has no "Connery or Collectors edition" it has connery
    in the corner ( in tux) holding gun with Kim in her swimsuit
    standing behind, sideways on. Shame you can't get a list of extras
    on it.

  • MooseWithFleasMooseWithFleas Philadelphia, PAPosts: 753MI6 Agent
    Here's what I just bought. Hopefully it's got all the extras http://www.amazon.com/Never-Say-Again-Blu-ray/dp/B00AVWIQZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412472104&sr=8-1&keywords=never+say+never+again

    What's the BR transfer like for this one if you can recall?
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Yes, that looks like the one I have. It's not one of my favourites
    But I think it was a good transfer, ( haven't watched it in ages )
    Although I know it didn't have the restoration treatment the official
    Bond films got.

  • chrisisallchrisisall Western Mass, USAPosts: 9,061MI6 Agent
    NSNA is SO uneven... at a smaller price I'd get it on BR, but the film just isn't good enough for more than ten bucks IMO.

    :)) Can't remember the price but I think I got it for something
    Like £ 5.99, which I was happy with as all I really wanted was
    The commentary. :D

    I got my DVD of NSNA from Sainsburys for £3.99.

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Yep, had the DVD but the only extra on it was the film trailer, and
    I love watching the " making of" features and listening to the
    Commentaries, always remember something new. ;) :)

    i just need to complete my collection. Next step is Everything or Nothing DVD and the 54 CR. I hope they release EON at somepoint on Blu-Ray
  • chrisisallchrisisall Western Mass, USAPosts: 9,061MI6 Agent
    My top 4 James Bond films based on the Blu Rays I felt it absolutely necessary to own first :
    YOLT
    TLD
    LTK
    TND
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Just got the BR of TND, and again I am thrilled. So many little bits of visual information just there for a richer experience. It's not like night & day- my DVD was quite impressive, but enough difference to make me very glad I got it.
    Next up will be YOLT. I predict THAT to be a startling difference. We'll see.

    Yeah, TLD & LTK pretty much blew me away. TND just blew me down.
    Either way, it's nice to get blown.
    (That's for you, Thunderpussy :)) )

    Just finished YOLT on Blu Ray, and.. I got words...

    First, wow did it look great.
    Second, I'm SO tired of hearing how SC phoned in his performance- he was freakin' stellar here IMO.
    Third, poor cat- I'd run too...

    One of the great things for me with the bluray of YOLT, was I finally
    Noticed the clip of the original actor for Blofeld. Where Bond first
    Meets him. As you can see his hair over the top of the chair back. -{
    I've read about it, but was never able to see it before. :))
    ( Jan Werich, was the original choice )

    Jan Werich was seen too much like a 'Sweet Father Christmas' then that of a menacing Villain.

    Yes, I get that a lot too. :))
