10 best the blue rays

Blu-ray, often stylized as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is a digital optical disc storage format that is widely used for high-definition video and audio playback. Here are some key details about Blu-rays:

  1. High Definition (HD) Quality: Blu-ray discs offer significantly higher video and audio quality compared to standard DVDs. They can store high-definition content with resolutions of up to 1080p or even 4K in some cases, providing sharp and detailed visuals.

  2. Storage Capacity: Blu-ray discs come in different capacities, with single-layer discs typically holding up to 25 GB of data and dual-layer discs capable of storing up to 50 GB. This ample storage space allows for the inclusion of high-quality video and audio, as well as bonus features.

  3. Video Codecs: Blu-ray discs use advanced video codecs like H.264 (AVC), H.265 (HEVC), or VP9 to compress video content while maintaining high quality. This compression allows for extended playtime on a single disc.

  4. Audio Quality: Blu-rays offer immersive audio experiences with formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, delivering lossless audio that reproduces sound with exceptional fidelity and detail. These formats are especially appreciated by home theater enthusiasts.

  5. Region Coding: Similar to DVDs, Blu-ray discs are often region-encoded, which means that they may only play on players that are compatible with the same region code.This is done to control the release of content in different parts of the world.

  6. Interactive Menus and Features: Blu-rays often include interactive menus and special features such as director's commentary, behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, and more. This additional content enhances the overall viewing experience.

  7. 3D and 4K UHD Blu-rays: In addition to standard high-definition content, Blu-ray also supports 3D movies and 4K Ultra HD (UHD) content. 4K UHD Blu-rays offer even higher resolutions, better color depth, and high dynamic range (HDR) for superior image quality.

  8. Compatibility: To play Blu-ray discs, you need a Blu-ray player, which can be a standalone device or integrated into gaming consoles like the PlayStation and Xbox. Many modern computers also come with built-in Blu-ray drives.

  9. Collectability: Blu-ray has become a popular format for collectors and movie enthusiasts due to its superior audio and video quality. Special editions, steelbook releases, and limited-edition sets are often sought after by collectors.

  10. Market Availability: Blu-ray discs are widely available, and they continue to be a popular choice for purchasing and owning physical copies of movies and TV shows, even in the era of digital streaming.

In summary, Blu-ray is a high-definition optical disc format known for its excellent video and audio quality, making it a preferred choice for movie enthusiasts who value superior home entertainment experiences. Blu-ray players and discs are readily available for consumers to enjoy high-quality movies and TV shows in the comfort of their homes.

Product description

I WANT YOU TO WATCH THE MOVIE SCREEN. THERE S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

Donnie is a troubled high school student: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days, 06 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank s maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum.

Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katharine Ross, and television favorite Noah Wyle and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran.

    The Bird With The Crystal Plumage [UHD Limited Edition] [Blu-ray]

    Based on 379 reviews Check latest price

    Product description

    In 1970, young first-time director Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria) made his indelible mark on Italian cinema with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage - a film which redefined the 'giallo' genre of murder-mystery thrillers and catapulted him to international stardom. Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante, We Own the Night), an American writer living in Rome, inadvertently witnesses a brutal attack on a woman (Eva Renzi, Funeral in Berlin) in a modern art gallery. Powerless to help, he grows increasingly obsessed with the incident. Convinced that something he saw that night holds the key to identifying the maniac terrorizing Rome, he launches his own investigation parallel to that of the police, heedless of the danger to both himself and his girlfriend Giulia (Suzy Kendall, Spasmo)... A staggeringly assured debut, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage establishes the key traits that would define Argento's filmography, including lavish visuals and a flare for wildly inventive, brutal scenes of violence. With sumptuous cinematography by Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and a seductive score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Once Upon a Time in the West), this landmark film has never looked or sounded better in this brand new 4K Ultra HD presentation from Arrow Video! Bonus features include: English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack, Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack, Audio commentary by Troy Howarth, author of So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films, Black Gloves and Screaming Mimis, an interview with author and critic Kat Ellinger exploring the films themes and its relationship to both the giallo and Fredric Browns novel The Screaming Mimi, Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring originally and newly commissioned artwork by Obviously Creative, Image galleries, Illustrated collectors booklet featuring writing on the film by Howard Hughes and Jack Seabrook, and a new essay by Rachael Nisbet, Fold-out double-sided poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Obviously Creative, Six double-sided, postcard-sized lobby card reproduction artcards, An Argento Icon, an interview with actor Gildo Di Marco, Evas Talking, an archival interview with actor Eva Renzi, Original Italian and international theatrical trailers, 2017 Texas Frightmare trailer, Crystal Nightmare, an interview with writer/director Dario Argento, The Power of Perception, a visual essay on the cinema of Dario Argento by Alexanda Heller-Nicholas, author of Devils Advocates: Suspiria, reflecting on the recurring theme of perception and the role of art in Argentos filmography, Restored original lossless mono Italian and English soundtracks, New 4K restoration from the original negative by Arrow Films, 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)
