My DVD's look fine on my HD tv, and yes you can see a bit of a difference with blu-ray, but just not enough to go out and spend roughly $40 on one blu-ray disc, when i can pick up the dvd for less than half that...

Most of the movies don't look that spectacular. I'm talking about the older ones, or movies not shot digitally to begin with. I just rented Godfather(the Coppola Restoration), and while it looked better than I've ever seen it, it wasn't mind blowing.
The newer movies, like big blockbusters and digital animation(Shrek, Surf's Up etc) make the jaw drop. Some that stood out as just perfect were Across the Universe, The Assassination of Jesse James, 30 Days of Night, Iron Man, Transformers, The Fall, Sunshine.
Also, the transfer has to be done properly with the best possible encoding. Sometimes, they don't seem to give a fuck and just compress the shit out of the movie so they can fit more extras.
