What are the best looking BD titles in your collection? - Blu-ray Forum

Hollywood81 · 02-16-2008, 06:17 AM

The best looking titles in my collection have got to be

1)Kingdom of Heaven (this was one of the first BD discs i ever saw and thought that some of the scenes looked almost fake cause they were so crystal clear!!!)

2)Sunshine (one of my favorite movies right now! sooo good!)

3)Pan's Labyrinth (the 1.85:1 ratio looks so nice on the 50")

4)Underworld: Evolution (the first BD i ever saw. I was skeptical that it would look much different than DVD. Boy was i so wrong and blown away!!)

Cars, Ratatouille, and Apocalypto hands down.

YES i have seen Apocalypto and it does look amazing.

JasonR · 02-16-2008, 06:24 AM

I think DMC out of the Pirates is the best IMO

Nope thats not true. It just depends on the aspect ratio that the flim was filmed in. If you want to avoid the "blackbars" then only get films with the 1.85:1 ratio (16:9, thats ratio for widescreen tvs) The ones with "blackbars" are filmed in 2.35:1 ratios or higher. So yeah just check the back of the BD cases it will tell you which one the movie is in.

Grain is inherent in all media shot on film. It can be toned down when converting to digital, but only at the cost of softening detail.

VenomXR8 · 02-16-2008, 07:58 AM

Rush Hour 3 looks stunning, 5/5 PQ Highly recommended
The Patriot, Planet Earth, Die Hard 4, 2001, Pirates 1 2 and 3, Apocalypto also have stunning transfers

For Animation id go for Cars, Ratattouille, Surfs Up, Dinosour and Corpse Bride

Arrakis · 02-17-2008, 12:20 AM

I don't have many tiles yet but...
Ratatouille
Blade Runner (you either love this one or absolutely hate it - but I think it's great - either way it is a good re-mastering job)

dadkins · 02-17-2008, 12:36 AM

*MY* collection?
#1 The Wild
#2 Cars
#3 Chicken Little

In that order.
Will pick up LFoDH next week, that will be(from what I have read) #4.

Galley · 02-17-2008, 12:44 AM

Ratatouille
Across The Universe
Cars
