Default Which Film would you use as a demo for your Bluray setup?

I was wondering what all of your opinons are on which film(s) and what scene(s) would you use to show someone the best that bluray has to offer? Im thinking the chase scene between the torch and the surfer in FF2.

Great question. I'd pick Spiderman 3 for a new film, and 2001 to show what Blu-ray can do with a 40 year old movie.

Spiderman3 wasn't that great. Some scenes were crystal clean and then other scenes had noises from hell. Very inconsistent.

I have used several. casino royal, potc1 or 2. spidey 3, lfodh, ratatouille, cars. and when someone says ''i can't tell the difference'' I bust out my blu ray demo disc from the bda. it has a side by side comprison of dvd and blu ray. it even tells you what to look at. sure the scene they show is from a knights tale (lame) but it gets the job done.

For picture Meet The Robinsons not a great film but its in 16:9 so makes use of the full screen and has the gorgeous new Disney logo! The movie showcase shows off PQ and AQ in nice small chunks

This was a great scene. Sheesh, I thought my sub was going to blow up during the part where the car flew over Bruce and the kid. Excellent LFE!!! Overall, LFDH was a much better quality product (PQ/AQ) than Transformers (from what I saw on my friends DUD player).
