Our hero John Putnam, for instance, stands in our theatre room on a few occasions, an effect that is destroyed by a small screen where the framing is so obvious (and my small screen is 60in.) A classic that should be in everyone's collection
This film makes it into my upper tier for pop-outs for how well done they are. And there are several!
[Show spoiler]I will continually update my first post to reflect what order I rate the movies as far as pop-outs are concerned. The emboldened titles will have links to the posts that enumerate them.

Watched this last weekend for the first time. Awesome popouts. The rock slide was spectacular. Compare this to Tomb Raider, which I watched last night, and had a similar falling debris scene after an explosion. Complete wasted opportunity. Not a single pop out.
