Looking for the best Blu-ray movies and DVDs in 2012? We compile our standout flicks to get the high-def treatment that you need in your collection

So you've recently invested in a new Blu-ray player and you are planning one of those weekends where you have no intention of stepping outside of the house. You are probably going to want some flicks to keep you company.

You could search IMDB and Google the 'best films to watch' to avoid the Razzie-worthy releases, or simply take the advice from the T3 movie buffs with our monthly updated of the best Blu-rays to buy this year.

1. May's Blu-ray of the Month: Mission Impossible 2

So, hands up who can remember the name of Tom Cruise’s character in these fi lms? And quite what his role is in the intelligence service or whatever the hell it is? We can’t either, but that didn’t stop us enjoying the hell out of this. Director Brad Bird, the maestro behind The Incredibles, directs like he’s unaware there’s a difference between cartoons and live action, delivering one astonishing action sequence after another.

Even better, Tom Cruise dials back his trademark preening assholism, while Simon Pegg, new-Bourne Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton are given space to add comedy, class and something resembling proper acting. It all feels a long way from Peter Graves infiltrating a top-secret bunker by turning up in overalls and claiming to have come to fix the air conditioning, but we can live with that, frankly.

Price: £18
