Default Best "Grainy" Transfers. Grain lovers only!

After reading much of the "Are you a fan of grain" thread, I want to know by the fans of grain,

What Blu-ray has the best transfer where the movie was untouched by DNR or EE. The grain is there and it looks great!!

Please if you are a grain hater, DO NOT POST

Thanks and lets see some examples.

Payback looks pretty awesome; the grain really adds to the atmosphere of that movie IMO.

'Adventures of Baron Munchausen' is a pretty good 'grainy' transfer.Got more vivid colours than the DVD,and has a much better resolution (come as no surprise) and blacklevel.

All of those the grain really adds to. I also like the green filter on King Arthur. Antoine Fuqua states in the commentary that he did that to give it a more medieval feel.

I'm not a fan of big coarse grain, but to me that's a photography issue, I would rather have it kept than filtered away. In any newer movie grain is usually left alone, but it's a crapshoot with older flicks. I watched In Cold Blood recently, it was a great example of an older movie with a nice, crisp film-like transfer.

BAND OF BROTHERS : Sometimes the grain isnt that much visible, and sometimes its very grainy, but it looks very good.

DOWNFALL : I imported it from amazon.uk. The movie is very grainy, and even though its not the most stunning blu ray available, its still a very sharp and a very solid PQ blu ray. I love it.

The Japanese releases of The Crow and the Gamera films have lots of grain.
