Any of the Transformers movies or Tron: Legacy is a guarantee.

Dredd 3D..........

Rambo (2008)
Band of Brothers
The Avengers
Thor
Master and Commander
Casino Royale
Tron Legacy
I agree on the TRANSFORMERS movies, but there are others out there which are more watchable hahahaha.

Also, you might find this thread informative.

Happy viewing/listening!

Any of the Transfomers movies.

since this is posted in the 3D forum, are you looking for suggestions on 3D movies or just movies with good LFE tracks / outstanding picture?

3D-
Hugo

2D-
Kung Fu Panda or any Disney/Pixar Blu-ray

Thanks again everyone for posting more suggestions and for that "complete" list as well.

When I played Tron: Legacy the girl upstairs kept running to the door to see if there was a thunderstorm. She wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

There's so many out there but my top 2 for audio/video are Life of Pi and Tron Legacy. Pure reference on all fronts for those 2! For 3D Life of Pi takes the cake with Dredd and Prometheus the runners up! Enjoy!!

Start with the Picture Quality Tiers list for ultimate video quality:

The current reference standard is probably Avatar.

Way too many to list as previously stated. I agree with all the above recommendations though, and will add the Podrace scene from The Phantom Menace, and the High Roller scene from Sucker Punch.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for responding.

There are several posts to titles that offer extreme LFE multi-speaker action such as Tron Legacy, Transformers 3, but if you just want the best all around performer then that offers exceptional 2D PQ and AQ, so far Season 2 Game of Thrones is just gorgeous to take in. Season 1 also was reviewed as one of the best of 2012. Other titles that are great reference BD titles are Prometheus, The Amazing SpiderMan, and of course Avatar (extended version).

Hi guys, I have an LG 47GA6450 3D HDTV, a Panasonic 220 series 3D Blu-Ray player, and a Sony CT-100 Soundbar/Subwoofer that to my knowledge doesn't support 3D pass through. Right now, I am running the Blu-Ray player into the TV and doing Optical out to my soundbar, which does have optical in, but that only gives 5.1. Is there a way I can get DTS-HD MA and the other high-end audio codecs without buying an entirely new soundbar/receiver? I've heard some players might have dual HDMI but I don't even know if that would help.

Thanks!

Optical does not support DTS HD-MA..all you get is the Core of the DTS. Same story with Dolby True HD. It looks like that soundbar supports HDMI..can't you just run an HDMI cable from the Blu-Ray player to the soundbar?

As I said, I know it doesn't support those codecs, what I want is to eliminate Optical from the equation and go back to HDMI for everything, to get the advanced codecs. Also, like I said, my Soundbar doesn't support 3D passthrough, so although I could connect it to get the advanced codecs, I won't have a picture that is 3D. The soundbar has a bunch of HDMI ins and 1 out, but it doesn't help me if I can't get 3D. Is it more clear now? Sorry if I wasn't more specific.

[BaerGriggs]

I don't see how. Without a dual output player or compatible receiver, to get 3D you'd have to run straight from the player to the TV. Since the TV can't decode the HD audio I don't think you'd get it at the soundbar end even if you did run an HDMI from the TV to the soundbar. I don't think TVs will bitstream it directly but I could be wrong.

Yeah that is what I'm asking, can a dual HDMI player do this for me? I have no experience with them so I'm seeking advice on solutions. Will a dual HDMI solve the issue? Can I do one HDMI to the TV, one to my Soundbar and get the HD codecs that way?

[BaerGriggs]

As far as I know, yes. I know players like the OPPO can do this..for example running a cable from HDMI1 to the TV for video, and from HDMI2 to older receiver that doesn't have 3D capabilities. I can't speak for every player but I know Panasonic has some dual output players that should do the same thing.

Well I might just have to do that then. Just checking to see what my options were.

Prometheus 3d or 2d has to be hands down the best ive used tp test mine. Definatly the star globe seen in 3d
