I meant the distributors/replicators, not the movies. One that comes to mind is Madacy entertainment. The movies I bought are generally old classics that belong to Universal, WB or Fox, and they have very low grade PQ, even for an oldie. I remember doing an A-B comparison between it and the VHS tape and couldn't even notice a difference (believe, I wanted to see the difference, as I just paid $10 for it). Perhaps if I tried it again today, I could see a difference, given the upscaling DVD improvements and a much better display.

I'm very happy to own the Film4 movies. The worst of those is probably better than 90% of the entire Blu-ray catolog. I've only watched Touching the Void and I would rate the PQ around 4/5, about average for a movie of it's age (6 years, I think). I haven't checked out the others, but hopefully their transfers are on par with the big boys.
