Jlrharley · 07-26-2008, 07:59 PM

As a new owner of a Blu-ray player (Sony BDP-S350), what Blu-ray disc do you recommend to showoff my system. I have a Sony 60" HDTV, Denon 2807 receiver with 7 speakers. Looking for something that show great video and great audio. Any suggestions?

My picks:

Live Action:
I, Robot
I Am Legend

Animated:
Cars
Ratatouille

Best audio I have listened to is Master and Commander: Far Side of the World.

Rhettroactive · 07-26-2008, 08:14 PM

Planet Earth. Period.

BDman19 · 07-26-2008, 08:15 PM

Have to agree with Blu-Ray Fanatic - Rambo is great. So is Rush Hour 3.

Stephan.klose · 07-26-2008, 08:35 PM

Yep, i have to agree "Rambo" is a damn fine title.

If your friends have weak stomachs you might go with something a little less offensive.

"Vantage Point" is a great Blu Ray
"3:10 to Yuma" has really great Sound (and of course PQ but I mostly like the Sound aspects of a movie)
(The already mentioned) "I, Robot" is also great
"Casino Royale" is also a very nice title. A little dated but still demo material.

.....but only if you refer to the UK version

Stephan.klose · 07-26-2008, 08:35 PM

As for animation

"The Simpsons"
and one of the best Blu Ray Titles of all times
"Cars"..

perfect PQ and Dolby True HD Sound..

Mr.Sparkle · 07-26-2008, 08:49 PM

Pirates of the Caribbean and The Simpsons Movie both have amazing PQ and SQ.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 07-26-2008, 08:49 PM

A porno would be great to showoff.

yes! But they are so damn expensive

AKBlu · 07-26-2008, 09:09 PM

I use I am Legend I like how deep the colors are and the transition from dark to light and inside to outside scenes.

Aussie Blu · 07-26-2008, 09:23 PM

Any of the POTC, Die Hard 4 or Rambo

visual0ne · 07-26-2008, 09:24 PM

I like the newly released Mummy flicks. The special effects are a tad dated in some scenes but overall they have great PQ AQ.

Why?

kiskiboy97 · 07-26-2008, 09:32 PM

Black Hawk Down is a terrific title for demo purposes as well.

alexakajeff · 07-26-2008, 09:34 PM

The Simpsons
Ratatouille
The Ruins
Cars

BluCrew · 07-26-2008, 09:37 PM

First of all, welcome to the club. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Disney animation movies (or Ice Age), nor Planet Earth. For a more serious audience, I recommend No Country For Old Men, 3:10 to Yuma, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven for PQ and AQ.
