Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of May 11

Wow. There isn’t even a contender for the number one slot this week that can stand up to my top pick. I mean, I dearly love some of the other films newly available on Blu today but man, the top pick rules them all!

In addition to one of the most necessary Blu-ray purchases of the year hitting the shops today, you’ll also find some genuine classics from the 70s and 80s, some of which are new to Blu, others available for the first time outside of boxed sets. It’s quite a good crop of discs today! …Continued…

If the incredible MOC edition of Murnau’s Sunrise is any indication, we’re in for a real treat with this next batch of releases. Guess I better put my ordering finger to work on Amazon.co.uk.
