CROCOP · 09-17-2008, 09:42 PM

I just bought a Bluray player, and want to know whats the BEST bluray to buy to show off its capabilities?

Thanks!!!

BigLuvJason · 09-17-2008, 09:44 PM

Pirates movies, Rambo, Narnia

I like "Cars" but that's cos i like the movie a lot too, it just happens to work well as a show-off movie too.
There have been some great non-animated ones too, i just can't think of what they were. I think Vantage Point was ok, its just not the sort of movie that is watchable over and over. Look for movies that have an AVC encoding at about 35mbs or more. As long as they have good cinematography - and used good lighting and optics, you can't go wrong

I, Robot is a good one. Casino Royale is another. The ones BigLuvJason mentioned are good as well. Really depends on what you're looking for (i.e. do you care about the movie as well or just strictly PQ/AQ).

Edit: Yeah, Cars is great as well.

1. 2001 - great blu-ray both in pq/aq
2. 3:10 to Yuma - not sure why this movie doesn't get the love it deserves but its a 5/5 on both
3. I, Robot
4. Usual Suspects

enjoy!

Cars for CGI Animation.
Transformers for live action.

Oh yay! Again!

monkyman · 09-17-2008, 09:55 PM

Definatly any of the above mentioned Disney movies, Casino Royal, and Blade Runner was excellent for it's age.

My thoughts exactly. And Overeem is going to tool him too, mark my words.

But seriously, the search function is your friend. Now go buy The Departed.

Red Hood · 09-17-2008, 11:05 PM

The Fall
Blade Runner

kiskiboy97 · 09-17-2008, 11:07 PM

Buy a few classics, including Godfather next week, and Close Encounters and Blade Runner. For newer material, Cars, Black Hawk Down, Transformers, and 3:10 to Yuma are all great.

Blu Titan · 09-17-2008, 11:18 PM

Casino Royale, I Roboot, Pirate of the Caribbean movies, Live Free or Die Hard, Cars, Blade Runner, ect.

neos_peace · 09-17-2008, 11:41 PM

I personally think the resident evil 3 looks awesome, as well as I am Legend. I can';t really name alot becaue I only own 17 titles so far on BD

Seeking_Alpha · 09-17-2008, 11:41 PM

Planet Earth

The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies ever. But damn, from what I understand this disc only has trailers (or A trailer?) as the special features. Shame too since there's a special edition of the movie out on dvd. I don't even think they included the audio commentary?

Speed mracer is supposed to be the refernce quality and was shot in hd but I have not seen it yet I would also recommend Cars for pure eye candy.

koreyman · 09-18-2008, 01:08 AM

Cars , POTC , The Searchers looks great for a classic.

homedepotteam · 09-18-2008, 01:13 AM

Ratatouille

Brandon · 09-18-2008, 01:29 AM

Cars
300
Black Hawk Down (my personal favorite to use as a demo disc)
Apocalypto (the temple scene will convert anyone)
