Blu-Ray Movie with lossless tracks only
Watched my very 1st BR movie last night and was annoyed to find out it only had a DD 5.1 640 kbps audio track. MI:3 Anyway, rather than bring up the review on eahc movie I'm researching to buy, it there a list somewhere of just the BR movies with lossless PCM tracks and Dolby True HD or DTS MA? I only want to buy those movies.

I sure wouldn't want to limit myself like that. I'd much rather have a movie I like with lossy sound than an okay movie with lossless. The pickings are slim enough as it is to be limiting myself even further. It would be like limiting my DVD purchases to only titles with DTS.
Just look at a review for a movie you're interested in to see what audio tracks are included. In general, Sony, Disney, and Fox (though with Fox it's DTS-MA) use lossless. Paramount didn't, and Warner usually wouldn't either until recently. Lionsgate sometimes uses lossless (generally yes for new releases if I'm not mistaken).
You really have to check the discs though, as there may be exceptions.

All of the major Blu-ray exclusive studios use lossless soundtracks. Fox uses DTS-HD MA which is lossless on its titles. Disney uses PCM and Sony uses a mix of PCM and/or Dolby TrueHD. In general the neutral releases of Paramount and Warner do not have lossless soundtracks with a few exceptions like 300. Of course MI 3 was a Paramount title. And if your desperate there are a few titles that you can import that have lossless soundtracks and that play on U.S. players that domestically have lossy soundtracks(the Japanese edition of Face/Off is a good example here).

Were you annoyed before or after you watched it and looked at the box/bitrates? Because even though it's not lossless, M:i-III sounds EXCELLENT to my ears.

Lossless audio has been out for years, nobody here cared.
