If you've just gotten a Blu-ray player (or if you've won a PS3 Slim courtesy of UGO -- you're welcome!), these are the Blu-ray discs you've got to have in your collection if you want to be serious about high-definition.
The Collectionist: Blu-ray DVDs You Should Own Already
You're not taking full advantage of the Blu-ray experience if you don't own these discs.

Planet Earth
The 2006 nature series was the most expensive nature documentary ever commissioned by the BBC, and the first one to be filmed in high-definition. That means you can bear witness to the natural world in stunningly scary detail -- like a Great White chasing a seal or the world's largest pile of bat guano.
Star Trek
Zoe Saldana in high-def? Yes, please. Undoubtedly the most action-packed of the Star Trek films, J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot looks even better on Blu-ray. The vivid colors of young Kirk and Spock's space adventures come through in delightful detail -- from the expansive space scenes to extreme close-ups -- you won't care about the continuity.
The Matrix
The 1999 sci-fi action film was the DVD to get back in the day, and of course it should make your Blu-ray list. Just compare the old standard Matrix DVD to the Blu-ray one and you'll immediately notice the difference. The stylized bullet-dodging and shiny black pleather outfits come through picture-perfect on the high-def version. In fact, it looks so good, we'll just forget about the sequels for now.
