e.g. Picture Quality, Audio or just excited to see it in HD

rob91c · 07-07-2008, 06:56 PM

Mine -
Bladerunner because of the great picture quality and a stunning film

RustyK94 · 07-07-2008, 07:01 PM

Are we going on PQ or the film it self

Well for PQ i have to say children of men (the Nordic Blu-Ray release)

If it was just film i say goodfellas

Beta Man · 07-07-2008, 07:12 PM

2001, for every reason you could possibly list

what is the best fast-action blow-em up Michael Bay spectacular?????

2001 would fail that reason

i agree with you 100% that 2001 is the best blu-ray out there.

CEOT3K is 2nd.

rambo iv

audio/video wise...not necessarily the movie itself.

frank_t · 07-07-2008, 09:14 PM

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I guess it was one of the first sci-fi flicks I saw as a kid that I can remember. It's such a well-made film and it's simply beautiful on blu-ray.

As a runner-up, Blade Runner. Because to this day, no modern cgi-laden film can match the atmosphere and photography of blade-runner (I'm not using the correct words to describe this, but i think you get my drift here). It is as stunning today as it was when it was released. Outside of Alien and Legend, I'm not sure Ridley Scott has been able to outdo himself in this regard.

All things considered, 3:10 to Yuma has been the best PQ/MQ combination in my collection.

dadkins · 07-07-2008, 09:24 PM

Film or Movie?
Film would probably have to be I, Robot.
Movie would have to be one of the Disney or Disney/PIXAR animations.

pitabun · 07-07-2008, 09:28 PM

any cartoon animation shouldn't count!

You can't compare video footage with full pixar animation.

Many people seem to blur the line between "Film" and "Movie" - that's why I asked.

That is also why I answered with two different types of motion picture.

Love them or hate them, those damn POTC movies look excellent on BD.

theone1287 · 07-07-2008, 09:52 PM

The best movie I watch on HD is Apocalypto.
Great Picture Quality
Great Movie
Great Directing
Great Ending

+1 for you both.

2001 gets my pick because it is a STUNNING film with STUNNING quality in spite of it being 40 years old! If there is an older sci-fi flick of equal quality, I want to see it. Speaking of Forbidden Planet, we seeing it this year?

SeahawxBlu · 07-07-2008, 10:33 PM

I gotta go with 2001 here as well. The level of detail brought out by the BD was amazing. I found myself going back several times over certain scenes. Definitely a 5 star disk.

coolmilo · 07-07-2008, 10:35 PM

WOW, so mant movies to choose from. I will be a little different in my choices:

1. Man on Fire (Great color pallet, excellent transfer).

2. Youth without Youth (Francis Ford Coppola is the master of choosing beautiful locations. It’s as if the architecture is an additional star in his films. Youth is beautifully filmed and Sony delivered a state of the art BD (PQ)).

Gremal · 07-07-2008, 10:36 PM

No Country for Old Men

surfdude12 · 07-07-2008, 10:37 PM

2001: had never seen it before blu

now my #1 of all-time

solely PQ: Kingdom of Heaven (maybe just my system, but looks best)
solely AQ: Cloverfield
