Best Blue Ray?

[Garlick]

Can anyone recommend a few Blue Ray titles that really demonstrate the enhanced quality? I suppose i'm thinking in terms of effects and colours.

I enjoyed 300, but still need something that makes me really appreciate the technology....any suggestions chaps?

Planet Earth

[Plotloss]

The ones I'm starting to get bored of, for the reasons you're looking for (occupational hazzard) are:

The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Pearl Harbour

The last one stands alone as an appalling film but the sound is phenomenally well mastered.

[oobster]

Any of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

I bought this after it was recommended, but its very boring IMO.

Dark Knight was awesome.

[philwhite]

Definatly agree with The Dark Knight, also would recomend;

Iron Man - Excellent transfer
Rescue Dawn - The picture on the jungle sequences seriously impressed me.

[Big Al.]

According to Plotters Nemo!

[Muzzlehatch]

Agree with:

Dark Knight
Wall.E
Ironman


Also:

Starship Troopers
Ratatouille
Pan's Labyrinth
Full Metal Jacket

On the whole, most BR is of high quality, but the above really do shine, at least on my Panny 42 plasma.

[The GMan]

I thought Quantum of Solace looked great, Rock n Rolla is good too.

I also bought The Getaway with Steve McQueen, I thought it was good but Mrs GMan didn't. She still reckons you can't tell that much difference.

I just put that down to her being an idiot.

everyone.

I'm off to Amazon.........

For an old movie check out ZULU it maybe 40 years old or so
but the picture quality is fabulous

Also an off the wall choice but stunning picture and sound quality

Rush : Snakes and Arrows

yes that old canadian rock band

Pearl Harbour

Oy! Plotters I quite like that film especially the way that the Americans
won the Battle of Britain for us

Regards Gandalf......................

It's no Quantum of Solace I'll admit but it does have it's good points and Garlick did ask what really demonstrates the enhanced quality which IMO it does.

Finding Nemo
Wall-E
Ratatouille

The first one to watch, the other two to use as coasters for your beer.

[A1GOY]

Iron Man, Cloverfield and Casino Royale are pretty good.

Haven't watched Dark Night on mine yet though...

[derestrictor]

Zulu.

Unbelievable.

[Mr Dave]

Terminator 2: Judgement Day or Dr.No.

Out of all my BRs , they stood out the most and that includes Quantum of Solace etc etc.

Dr. No simply amazed me how good the picture was. But Terminator 2 really showed off BR well.

[derestrictor]

Just reran Zulu: it is the most remarkable Blu-ray issue, yet.

You must buy this edition, without delay - I guarantee you will be mesmerised, from start to finish, an absolute tour de force.

The likes of El Cid, Ben Hur, The Fall of The Roman Empire and Spartacus - not to mention The Vikings - may well add to this table of pre-digitised era, photographic meistery.

Dark Knight, on reprisal, is in fact, not as sublime as it's cinescoped, cityscaped, helisweeps beguilingly seduce one into believing...
