TRON: Legacy is a good start assuming you are using a 1.78:1 screen.

StLouisRibs · 11-30-2014, 03:06 AM

Lawrence of Arabia.

It's the classic big movie.

Yes I am. Tron looked great on 55" can't imagine how it'll looking on 106!!! Thank you.

I would recommend How The West Was Won (1962).

Review: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/How-t...ay/742/#Review

I could only imagine how this would look on a 100+ inch screen. I have a 60 inch plasma myself.

GrouchoFan · 11-30-2014, 04:17 AM

Another vote for Lawrence of Arabia.
Also-- JAWS.

Clark Kent · 11-30-2014, 04:27 AM

Toy Story 3, without a doubt. The colors melt off the screen.

Astro Zombie · 11-30-2014, 04:32 AM

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
2001: A Space Odyssey
Pacific Rim
The Avengers
Saving Private Ryan

Just a few that come to mind.

BLOFELD · 11-30-2014, 04:54 AM

anything in anamorphic widescreen will look good.

all of the star wars films will look great.

interstellar will look great when it comes out.

Also I would recommend "This is Cinerama". Particularly if you're a fan of theme parks and roller coasters. The Rockaway Beach scene is unforgettable.

Hmm, no Avatar mentions yet.

Not a movie...

BBC Planet Earth

Baraka/Qatsi/Chronos/Samsara

Underworld (especially Awakening)

Beyond the Black Rainbow

tacanmj · 11-30-2014, 10:23 PM

Watched Dances with Wolves it was spectacular. Very good film.

pro-bassoonist · 11-30-2014, 11:06 PM

Samsara Blu-ray

I always show this disc for those that are undecided if projecting at home is in fact worth it

As far as recent film releases go, Criterion's release of the 4K restoration of Michelangelo Antonioni's L'avventura looks stunning.

I also really enjoy music shows and this disc gets played a lot

But I am really hoping that 2015 is the year when we finally see and hear the Devotional Tour on Blu-ray, or at least One Night in Paris

Pro-B

spiderfan1985 · 11-30-2014, 11:12 PM

Gravity
Jurassic Park
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Any of the LOTR films.
Any of the Star Wars films.

I would certainly watch these and more on a 100+ inch screen.

Visco. · 12-01-2014, 01:26 PM

2001
Lawrence of Arabia
The Master

HeavyHitter · 12-01-2014, 01:34 PM

Too many to list!

EVERYONE LIES · 12-01-2014, 01:47 PM

12 Angry Men. Regardless of screen size it is the greatest movie ever made.

I was actually surprised several months ago as to how much better the DE disc looks than the U.S. Criterion disc: http://caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleich...less=1#auswahl
