I have chosen the best based on four criteria:
- Five-star overall Blu-ray quality, meaning these movies all have the best sound and vision quality reviews. You won't find better movies in that regard.
- Five-star movie reviews, meaning these movies all have great storylines that people really enjoy.
- I have thrown a bit of my personal judgement in. Since we are looking for the five best blu-ray movies for Mom, I eliminated action movies. I don't mean to say that moms in particular or women in general do not like those movies, just that I was trying to target movies that Mom would pick for herself more than ones Mom would pick to watch with a family or as part of a couple.
- Finally, these are all Blu-ray movies that I would like to own.
The five best movies on Blu-ray for Mom are:
- Forrest Gump
- Gone With The Wind
- Hairspray
- Ratatouille
- The Wizard of Oz
Forrest Gump is the story of a man with a low IQ who winds up being part of important events in America between the 1950s and the 1980s. It was a very successful movie with a Best Picture Oscar in 1994 and it holds the number 74 spot on the American Film Institute’s list of greatest movies. So the story is definitely a good one.
High-Def Digest says the Blu-ray transfer has “stunning audio and video presentations” and a “complete host of extras.” High-Def finishes with: “Paramount has put together a Blu-ray release that is a must own for anyone.” Which means that the Blu-ray is good, too, and done in a way that is appropriate for a movie that is an American classic. Sounds like a movie I need to check out on Blu-ray.
Find your copy of Forrest Gump here on Amazon.

My mom would love those movies on blu-ray, especially Forrest Gump.Sometimes, she says she watches it because I used to love it so much and watched it over and over again. so sweet.
Funny, I really was surpised when Forrest Gump made the list and now your reference...looks like I'm going to have to check it out sooner rather than later.
