Blu-Ray movies

Baraka is excellent both in terms of picture and sound quality. It also lends itself to showing off certain chapters which works well for demo material. Wall-E, is quite good for an animated feature as well. For music, the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds live at Radio City Music Hall is outstanding in terms of picture and sound quality.

I agree entirely with all the previous recommendations. However, if you just want demo material on blu-ray, as opposed to a movie, try Diana Krall live in Rio. Simply stunning picture and sound that will test the dynamic resolution powers of your projector to the max.
