Answer
If you want them in 1080p yes. HDMI stands for "high definition multimedia interface" and will do both your audio and video.You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.

Can you watch Blu-ray movies on a Blu-ray player without high def cable?
Yes you can.
If you mean cable as in the broadcast feed from a cable
supplier, then Bluray player operates independently of the
broadcast feed.
If, by high def cable, you mean the cable from the player to the
television, it would be an HDMI cable. Even without an HDMI cable,
almost all Bluray players have a composite video interface that
will deliver a standard definition version of the output.
