Not Another Best PQ/AQ Thread!

[Lepidopterous]

So I thought I would start a Romulus thread about blu-ray picture and audio quality in light of all the reference-quality blu-rays that have been released recently. It will reflect the opinions of users on this site, and give a clear reference list of popular opinion to those still new to the format.

Here is how it works:

Make two separate lists:

Make a ranked list #1-10 of the best PQ blu-ray titles you've experienced.

Make a ranked list #1-10 of the best AQ blu-ray titles you've experienced.


#1 = 10 pts.
#2 = 9 pts.
...
#9 = 2 pts.
#10 = 1 pt.

I will tally the points at the end and create a poll for you guys of the resulting top 10 for each.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Wall-e

The granddaddy of all the PQ threads and the best so far:

The first couple of tiers are a good starting point for discussion and ideas.

Going from my rather small collection...and not really in oder. It's way too difficult to pick a proper top 10 for me. There are different reasons why a certain movie looks better/sounds better than another.

PQ

1- Coraline
2- Transformers 2: ROTF
3- The Dark Knight
4- 300
5- The Wizard of Oz
6- Up
7- G.I. Joe
8- Men In Black
9- Transformers
10- Monsters Inc.

AQ

1- G.I. Joe
2- Transformers 2: ROTF
3- TDK
4- The Patriot
5- The Departed
6- Star Trek
7- Transformers
8- Up
9- Monsters Inc.
10- Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

That remains the only logical explanation!

Are we supposed to put both in the same post? Are we supposed to put both in? I do not have the greatest surround system ever (read very old) so I was thinking of not putting that in just yet.

You can include whichever list you like. Just PQ, just AQ, or both. If you think you don't have an adequate set-up to judge their maximum quality, or your set-up is somewhat inhibiting, you can just participate to the extent that you feel you are able to.

Also, I forgot to mention that if you think more than 10 titles are eligible, add them to the end of the list and they will each count for 1 point. And if you can't come up with enough titles for filling out both lists, a top 5 or top<10 is fine too. But same point values apply to the respective rankings.
