Good Will Hunting

Buy-it - Matt Damon and Ben Affleck co-scripted and co-star in this powerful drama about a 20-year-old genius on the wrong side of the law and education system. It should have won the 1997 Oscar for Best Picture if it wasn't for the highly overrated Titanic.

Dante's Peak

Wait-for-it - This is one of those guilty pleasure disaster movies where each character's decision annoys the shit out of you but you can't help but continue to scream at the TV every time it's on.

Contact

Skip-it - Aliens successfully contact Jodie Foster's character with a message including plans on how to build a spacecraft that will successfully make the journey from Earth to their alien planet - but unlike most re-mastered sci-fi films, Contact is no real upgrade in 1080p.

Batman & Robin

Skip-it - It's hard to distinguish which of these last two awful Batman films is which - this is the one with Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the worst Batman of all-time (George Clooney) and everyone's favorite sidekick Robin (Chris O'Donnell) - NOT!  

Absolute Power

Skip-it - Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Ed Harris elevate this otherwise lackluster thriller about a sex murder involving the President of the United States.

The Frighteners

Rent-it - First Michael J. Fox unveils the new Nike Air Mags on Letterman and then his fantastic family horror comedy from director Peter Jackson is released on Blu-ray -- the perfect Halloween film for you and your 14-year old kids.

Trainspotting

Rent-it - If you were ever considering trying hard drugs just pop in this Ewan McGregor film about addiction and the terrifying horrors of drug use.

Sleepers

Buy-it - Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, and Brad Pitt star in this film about four boys sent to reform school after accidentally killing someone in a childhood prank and who they've become as adults.

Bio-Dome

Skip-it - Bio-Dome is one of those Pauly Shore films that you can't help but stop an watch when youíre flipping channels but is also that guilty pleasure you should avoid. 

12 Monkeys

Rent-it - If Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis in their prime don't draw you in, the mind-blowing plot twists will.

Braveheart

Buy-it - Back before Mel Gibson was a daily TMZ headline, he was a brilliant action movie star and director, and this was his best work!

Batman Forever

Skip-it - Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey star in this cartoonish, yet live-action version of Batman that is almost the worst ever, if it wasn't for...  Batman & Robin.

Bad Boys

Buy-it - The better of the two comedic-action films starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is worth owning in HD, and you'll be shocked how much better it is on Blu-ray compared to the over-editted version on TNT.

Apollo 13

Buy-it - You may not remember, but when this was released in theaters, people were in awe of the special effects, the shuttle launch, the view of earth from space, and the weightlessness scenes with Hanks and the rest of the crew, and what goes better with Blu-ray than special effects and space?

Demolition Man

Rent-it - Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes star in this futuristic sci-fi cops-and-robbers action film where cars drive themselves and you have to have wear a helmet when having sex -- if that doesn't interest you this film won't.

Carlito's Way

Rent-it - This film from the early 90s starring Al Pacino and Sean Penn in the prime of their careers has to be one of the most underrated gangster films ever made!

Army of Darkness

Skip-it - Army of Darkness actually looks worse and falls apart in the new high-def age.  

A River Runs Through It

Rent-it - Brad Pitt's breakthrough performance isn't any better in HD.  

Beauty and the Beast

Rent-it - The morale of the story is so well known that Beauty and the Beast lacks any interest for anyone over 10 years of age, but if you have children yet to learn this lesson, rent it and give it a once-over.

Darkman

Rent-it - Liam Neeson and Frances McDormand star in this dark yet amusing 1990 film directed by Sam Raimi about a scientist who takes on a new identity (I'll leave it at that as to not spoil the opening).

Dances with Wolves

Rent-it - A Civil War lieutenant is exiled to the wild west and befriends the natives and wolves he finds there - yes, it is basically Avatar and maybe even better.

Dead Calm

Rent-it - One of the best thrillers since Hitchcock only needs three characters to induce claustrophobic suspense.

Batman

Buy-it - The Dark Knight was amazing, and as was Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, but this version of Batman from 1989 directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton as Batman (but more notably as the best Bruce Wayne ever), Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale (Bruce Wayne's love interest) is still an incredible version of the dark knight saga and worth buying on Blu-ray!

All Dogs Go to Heaven

Skip-it - A Disney-ish animated-film actually from Sullivan Bluth Studios in Dublin, Ireland (An American Tail and The Land Before Time) released at the same time The Little Mermaid was in theaters, but All Dogs Go To Heaven is definitely not a Disney film, and is little "heavy" for younger children, as it follows a trouble-making dog recently released from prison and his friend who went to Heaven, despite not having done a single nice thing in his life.

Broadcast News

Rent-it - Though there's nothing special about this 1987 Oscar-nominated comedy-drama starring William Hurt and Albert Brooks on Blu-ray, it's still the 1987 Oscar-nominated comedy-drama starring William Hurt and Albert Brooks.
