yes, but this is our own special CANUCK thread

id use any of the following:

Transformers
Dark Knight
Black Hawk Down
King Kong
Planet Earth

derelicte · 10-27-2009, 02:54 AM

Given that it's our very own Canuck thread, I'd like to be able to point to something like One Week to show off our beautiful countryside in glorious HD ... pity the PQ sucked on it...

To answer the question, it's usually Dark Knight - the "POW" of the Imax scenes is impressive. If I had the TF2 Big Screen version, I'd use it - then again, I'll probably use the regular TF2 for the next time I want to show off. It's still damned impressive...

Syber · 10-27-2009, 01:57 PM

I like the Fifth Element for showing off.

ra272 · 10-27-2009, 06:32 PM

I only own two BD, so I'll answer Quantum Of Solace opening scene. The sound is good too.

Just got my TV and BD player. Sammy 46' 530 series with a Denon DBP-2010CI player. Sound via NAD T763 (5.1).

quantum of solace
transformers 2
Australia, crappy movie but amazing bd
death race
godfathers, casino, to show how good older movies can look

samdaman94 · 11-01-2009, 03:55 PM

The Dark Knight for imax, but It's A Wonderful Life and The Godfather to show how good old films look, as I believe somebody has already said.

Tom Hiddleston · 11-13-2009, 06:31 AM

I usually put in The Dark Knight or Watchmen for PQ, and AQ.

dvd_mazter · 11-13-2009, 11:40 AM

PQ - TDK IMAX Sequences, Ratatouille, I-Robot and more recently, I will be using Up.

AQ- Quantum of Solace, Incredible Hulk.

TheZoof · 11-13-2009, 12:25 PM

I use the opening scene of Casino Royale. The PQ/AQ are stellar.

2001 or Blade Runner is always good to show off an older movie. Everyone's mouth typically drops.

solott55 · 11-13-2009, 07:19 PM

Never really had a standard exhibition disc until UP came along - damn it looks good!

Anthony P · 11-14-2009, 04:54 PM

I don't show anything in particular, it is what ever movie we feel like watching.

vsidhu · 11-16-2009, 08:19 PM

Bass/AQ: Ironman

AQ/PQ: Casino Royale and QoS

PQ: TDK IMAX

For old timers that say that it's just the newer movies that look good I just play the Godfather.

I think it's safe to say what disc(s) it will be when LOTR comes out

I love the early Bond films with Connery. They all look amazing!
