Click was the first dual layer 50GB Blu Ray released. So there was some significance with that title.

I wanna say Click is pretty early on. Id also say Taladega Nights cuz it came with the first releases of the 60 GB...

The first Blu-ray Disc titles were released on June 20, 2006. The earliest releases used MPEG-2 video compression, the same method used on DVDs. The first releases using the newer VC-1 and AVC codecs were introduced in September 2006.[21] The first movies using dual layer discs (50 GB) were introduced in October 2006.[22] The first audio-only release was made in March 2008.

oh yeah, well GSP sucks!

And, by the way, I don't care how long it took you. I gathered the information by the way I chose to gather it, and you are not the boss of me.

Thanks for looking it up for me.
