This will be mostly an ordered list of live action movies starting with the best pop-outs and ending with the worst. The things I have considered when ordering the list is:
- How many pop-outs
- the relative strength of each (how far out of the screen does it reach)
- the quality of pic (is it clear or fuzzy)
- how long it stays on screen
- and the framing (pop-outs work better when they don't hit the border of the screen)
Also, for comparison, I consider anything that reaches half the distance or more from the screen to me, strong, one quarter the distance, medium, and anything less as mild.
