When a "Video on Demand" version is available, we will try to provide the link for that, too, in case you're in a hurry to see something and can't wait to order the movie. But in most cases, if you click on the DVD link, somewhere on the page, Amazon will give you the option of buying the Blue-Ray version instead.įor each movie we review, we will try to include reviews and links for your convenience, usually to the DVD on Amazon. If we get time, we may start providing links to the Blue-Ray version as well later on. At any rate, we're starting out linking to DVD, though we don't have a problem with you buying the Blue-Ray version if you think you'd rather have that. Finally it's worth noting that neither Blue-Ray nor DVD can improve the writing or acting - the movies we are recommending here are worth watching, whatever format you decide to "spring for."

Also, Blue-Ray doesn't add that much detail to made-for-TV shows, most hand-drawn animation, or most unrestored movies made before 1970, because there isn't that much detail on the screens to begin with. On the other hand, if you have a 37" or smaller screen and one of those DVD players that "upconverts" resolution by digitally interpolating lines, the difference between DVD and Blue-Ray is not nearly as dramatic as it seems in the "big box" stores. On such an optimum screen, you CAN tell the difference between a DVD and a Blue-Ray disk. If your favorite movie isn't on our page, take heart, we have many more in our "queue," but we started with our very favorite movies first.Ībout DVDs versus Blue-Ray: Today, people who want their home theater experience to be as close as possible to a theatrical experience (without the noisy jerk in the next row) are going to very large screens with 1080p (maximum HD) resolution, and Blue-Ray disks. ![]() This page will contain links to Christmas-themed movies we've enjoyed watching together as a family. ![]() Family Christmas Movies - Family Christmas OnlineTM
