What movie would you recommend to people without a Blu Ray to convert them.

[jchand67]

OK, this may have been done before, but just curious as to what movie everyone would recommend to someone withhout a Blu player to sell them on the incredible PQ, SQ, etc.

My choices would start off with Transformers, and Speed Racer right off the bat. But there are a lot of choices out there.

[owa]

Planet Earth
I, Robot
Casino Royale
Transformers
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
The Dark Knight
Chronicles of Narnia 1 or 2
Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy
Speed Racer (for PQ but it doesn't have lossless audio, still sounds pretty good though)

If you want them to see how good older movies can look, Blade Runner, 2001, or Patton would be good.

Most of the animated flicks look/sound great: Cars, Wall-E, Ratatouille, etc.

Baraka

2001 had my dad's jaw open.

[Kynch]

My dad KEEPS using Casino Royale on and on and on...
Okay it has the very nice chase scene in the beginning but after seeing it 20 times... you kind of get sick of it. Very good demo material though.

I think I'll try to go with Transformers or I Am Legend.

Cars is a solid choice

Happy Feet did it for me lol saw it on the floor display at futureshop and i thought "man, i want 1080p high def!" (had a 32" sharp aquos lcd 1080i) so i picked up a 47" LG and a couple months later a ps3

[toef]

Planet Earth
2001: ASO
Wall-E

Three completely different things, and all look really good.

[MAPdead]

Transformers
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Pirates of the Caribbean ( any of the 3 films )
Cars
Wall:E
Indy 4
Speed Racer
The Spider-Man Trilogy set

[Sussudio]

starting now, i would say:

THE DARK KNIGHT

imax scenes blew my brother's socks off, and he is a hardcore dvd fan/unwilling to convert to bluray because he didn't think it would look that much better.

[SpdDmn2k2]

I would say:

Wall-E
I, Robot
Ratatouille
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Cars..... (basically any Disney Pixar movie)

[Red Hood]

baraka
planet earth nightmare before christmas
the fall
pan's labyrinth

[Booyahs the name]

I would go with any animated movie. But if i had to pick something that was live action i would go with I, Robot or Pirates of the Caribbean or even Casino Royal. I think the begining action sequence is awesome in Casino Royal. But if i had to SQ specifically i would do Behind Enemy Lines.

[crazyBLUE]

THE DARK KNIGHT
CASINO ROYAL
LIVE FREE DIE HARD
THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS
TRANSFORMERS
IRON MAN
THE INCREDIBLE HULK
BEHIND ENEMY LINES

[richieb1971]

Narnia 2 (prince caspian) is the best blu ray i've seen in a long time. I have 110 ish so I think i'm a good person to judge.

[Kaiju]

The Dark Knight, Hellboy II, Wall-E, Narnia, 2001, Tropic Thunder, Black Hawk Down, Transformers, The Incredible Hulk, etc.

[borninusa]

Baraka shows off a blu-ray player quite nicely

[Blu Man]

Ironman, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk

[Siri]

Band of Brothers
Casino Royale
The Dark Knight
I Am Legend
I, Robot
Planet Earth
Transformers
ANY Disney/Pixar Movie basically, which includes Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Sleeping Beauty

Just a few off the top of my head in my collection, That is if you just want to go for looks. Sound is just an entirely different story, lol

[Marcusarilius]

The Fifth Element
I Robot
30 Days of Night
Underworld 1 and 2

[Disco]

Black Hawk Down
Patriot
Troy
Last Samurai
Hidalgo
Apocalypto
The Mummy
Planet Earth
All three Pirates of Carribean

All have excellent Picture Quality (PQ)
All have a great deal of action and are very entertaining.
