YES! I love watching movies and used to think it wouldn't make much difference since the TV is already pretty good. But since the prices just dropped to where I could afford the Blu-Ray I bought myself one for Christmas. I couldn't wait so I plugged it in. The picture was amazing! I watched anything from Disney Snow White to Transformers on it and it all looked better than on the regular DVD Player. Some were even regular DVDs (sissy girly movies w/ no special effects included) and not Blu-ray disc (The blu-ray player is supposed to up-convert). If you decide to get one make sure you use the HDMI cable and not the "colored" cables because I think this is what makes the difference. Also make sure the player you buy has an ethernet port for DSL I myself haven't tried this feature but I heard its pretty cool, plus your player wont become outdated as fast.
