Die Hard 4 and The Fifth Element have been my top for a while, but I'm adding Kung Fu Panda to my list as well. The PQ is great as to be expected from a recent animated film, but the AQ REALLY surprised me. Definitely one of the best TrueHD mixes I've heard to date.

If I had the chance to demonstrate the beauty of HD, I'd show Pixar Animations.

I, Robot, Sunshine, Cars, Blade Runner, 2001, Planet Earth, Casino Royale, etc. Depends on the person. I usually try to pick something they're interested in. But yeah, the IMAX scenes in TDK are great demo material.

My friends were blown away by the clarity of that when we watched it on the Batman Begins BD. I also tried to literally compare the difference using the DVD disc included with the Sleeping Beauty BD, but I was surprised (tho' I guess I shouldn't have been) that the girls had a hard time seeing the difference. Also, I think some of my friends get distracted by just watching stuff on my larger screen.

I've yet to use Cars as an example. I'll pro'ly do that next time for new friends who come over.

Depends on the person.

I use '2001' on my Uncle because he is a huge fan of '2001'.

I use TDK on others because it's new and modern and fresh in their memory.

Blu porn ... AH! I mean, Dark Knight Imax scenes, Baraka, Planet Earth. For a demo of a classic title, usually The Boys from Brazil or Nightmare on Elm Street.
