We published an article yesterday on why we think Blu-ray will be around indefinitely despite the convenience and entertainment provided by video streaming. The Blu-ray disc delivers a better picture, sound and reliability (you never know when a streaming movie will be removed from public catalogs) than streaming. To reinforce our point, we have selected the five best Blu-ray movies ever made and where you can buy them. The five discs are not only great films, but they are great examples of the Blu-ray quality as well.
1. Avatar (2009)
James Cameron’s groundbreaking sci-fi epic “Avatar” wowed audiences with its visually stunning alien world of Pandora. The Blu-ray release takes full advantage of the format’s capabilities, providing exceptional 1080p picture quality that vividly showcases the film’s lush environments and intricate details.
Available now at Amazon in HD Blu-ray for $19.99; $25.99 on 4K.

2. Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Denis Villeneuve’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic original is a masterclass in visual storytelling. The Blu-ray presentation captures the film’s breathtaking cinematography, with deep blacks and vibrant colors that enhance its futuristic dystopian setting.
Available now at Amazon in HD Blu-ray for $7.99; $18.99 in 4K Blu-ray.
3. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
George Miller’s high-octane action spectacle comes alive on Blu-ray with its intense color palette and razor-sharp clarity. The disc’s audio quality is equally impressive, making the roaring engines and explosive chaos resonate like never before.
Available now at Amazon in HD Blu-ray for $14.99.

5. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
