A co-worker asked for best show off title - Blu-ray Forum

mustangfun101 · 04-04-2008, 10:36 PM

I have a co-worker who asked what would be the best titles for showing off her and her husbands (he selected/bought it all) new blu-ray player and 52" Sharp Aquos 1080p, 120hz, etc etc TV.

She only planned on buying one movie. I told to buy at least two, one animated and one live action.

In order:
Cars
Casino Royale
I Robot
Ratouille
Ice Age 2

She didn't know about Casino Royale so I just showed her a shot of Daniel Craig on google images and she's sold on that one.

So, did I do okay??

Pirates: Dead Mans Chest
Show them the scene where everyone is fighting over the chest and key. It's great!

Cars, Casino Royale, the naval combat in Pirates 3...

Any of the movies recommended here will suffice.

I did recommend Pirates but she wasn't too hip on it.

mustangfun101 · 04-05-2008, 01:09 AM

I think the only one suggested that I didn't push was "The Day after tomorrow". I brought it up since it's on sale right now but she wasn't too interested.

I pushed Cars and Casino Royale the most and I think she might go for it. I don't know how they look on 120hz with blu-ray but I can only assume it has got to be better then my 60hz with blu-ray and those two movies are pretty damn nice on my tv.

Anyone with the Aquos 120hz with blu-ray tell me how they look?

darkpoet25 · 04-05-2008, 01:14 AM

What genres does she like? Lost Season 3 looks phenomenal. Both Underworlds and Halloween for horror, The Rock and Crimson Tide for action, Close Encounters for sci-fi, The Patriot for drama, and music wise Elton John, NIN, Dave Matthews.

mustangfun101 · 04-05-2008, 01:16 AM

She was just trying to get the best "show off" movies. More mainstream.

Get over it. This movie has some amazing scenes and it won Academy and Golden Globe Awards. I will snatch it up when 20th Century Fux puts it out on Blu-ray!
