Top Ten Best Looking Blu-Ray Discs? - Blu-ray Forum

PaulDHolloway · 01-31-2009, 02:12 AM

For those that have a huge blu-ray collection (not me, yet). I am wondering what is everyone's view on the top ten best looking blu-ray's in overall video and sound. Doesn't have to be a top ten but the titles you think are worth mentioning that have a superior transfer. I am gonna look and see and if anyone list a movie I like and the video and audio looks good. It will be on my next to buy list because of the overall view of the title. So what is everyone's favorite in video/audio. Try and not rank it on the movie but the quality of the audio/video.

Band Of Brothers.

I thought Black Hawk Down was great. Rambo 4 is also pretty nice. Max Payne had great sound but not too good of a movie. Im also interested in what others recommend. Lets fill this thread up.

transformers, iron man, and the dark knight are all superb. i haven't seen king kong yet, but i hear it is amazing as well.

I was in Best Buy today and they had a Blu Ray demo disc running on a nice Samsung LCD. the clip that I was the most impressed by was the movie Chicken Little. Just by seeing it, I will certainly be picking this one up. Cars is also a good picture quality BD.

For the small amount i have so far i think I Am Legend is the best i have seen!

bageleaterkkjji · 02-01-2009, 09:45 AM

lost 3 have 4 but havent watched it yet

PaulDHolloway · 02-01-2009, 03:32 PM

The only titles I have right now are Sleeping Beauty and Smallville - Season 7. Sleeping Beauty looks great but Smallville has too much grain.

I will be buying Spider-Man Trilogy and Austin Powers Trilogy and I will tell you how they look once I view them.

joegs300 · 02-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Austin Powers has some of the grainest sequences I have ever seen.. So much that it caused me to trade it in.

danman227460 · 02-01-2009, 05:40 PM

For me:
Any Pixar film
Dark Knight
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Kung Fu Panda

Spoodge6 · 02-01-2009, 10:29 PM

Dark Knight
Prince Caspian (not a fan of the movie though)
Transformers

SFMARGUY · 02-02-2009, 01:31 AM

Well you better get used to it. Film grain is a natural thing.

...

uh oh.. I picked up my Smallville season 6 and season 7 last night from Best buy.com. But it's hard to notice the grain. lol, I'm watching them on a 27" Trinitron I purchased about 10 years ago when I used to work at circuit city. I'd love to watch it on a nice screen, but when I rewatch old tv shows, it's usually in the background while I'm doing stuff in my office so I have this old crappy TV in there. My "real" TVs though are our recently purchased Sony 52W4100 and samsung 52" 750 series
