Which Blu-ray title impressed your friends the most? - Blu-ray Forum

Quad · 02-23-2008, 08:27 PM

For your friends who have never seen a BD, which one in your collection did they want to see first? Which was their favorite?

Blade Runner got the most attention in my home.

Cars

DefTechPioElite · 02-23-2008, 08:29 PM

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

The picture amazed them, but the sound blew them away!

darkblueme · 02-23-2008, 08:29 PM

Ratatouille & 2001: A Space Odyssey

iaacp · 02-23-2008, 08:45 PM

Pirates and Casino Royale

Casino Royale - specifically the opening credits.

Cars + Pirates 2 + Elton John 60 + Galapagos.

If anyone agrees to let me show them what Blu-ray has to offer, they are forced to sit through about 10 minutes of each of these. Every time I show these the HD virgins gasp at each title... almost as though they did not believe that the proceeding title could be anywhere nearly as good as the last.

GarettP · 02-24-2008, 02:52 AM

Reservoir Dogs and The Rock, my good friend has only owned them on VHS.

big angry · 02-24-2008, 02:52 AM

Spiderman 3. Movie wasn't all that great, too much stuff going on, but man it looks amazing.

fattymcgee311 · 02-24-2008, 03:01 AM

Planet Earth is great for showing picture quality. I don't have an amazing sound setup so I have to draw attention away from that somehow.

coachD · 02-24-2008, 03:06 AM

Casino Royale, The Fifth Element (remastered), Shoot'Em Up, and now: Sunshine!

Porky Pine · 02-24-2008, 04:18 AM

Happy Feet.

Dark Steel · 02-24-2008, 04:21 AM

Cars and Ratatouille.

bicclick2002 · 02-24-2008, 04:27 AM

Live Free or Die Hard! The picture quality and DTS-HD Master audio is so amazing!

The scene when Bruce goes to pick up the hacker guy (sorry bad with names) is one of the best scenes to show someone how much better the audio on Blu-ray is, not to mention the picture quality is second to none!

dannyjl · 02-24-2008, 04:32 AM

Yeah, that scene in the hacker guy's apartment was the master! Never heard guns like that before. I also use Cars and the opening scene of Blade Runner to impress.

c0okiemonsta109 · 02-24-2008, 04:54 AM

i would have to say planet earth and rat

BoneWSO · 02-24-2008, 06:08 AM

I'd have to say Cars. Most of the time when friends come over they bring their kids (all around 3 years old) and I have to put Cars in. I'm secretly trying to convince everyone to go blu, and I think it works.
