Blu-Ray movies


Hi all!

Anyone know a reference quality blu-ray movies to show as demos? That will include highest sound and picture quality.

Thanks!

That is an interesting list. Subjectively, I think "Tier Zero" is aptly named... kinda makes me wonder who is providing input. It looks to me like the over-saturated colors and rapid motion of computer animated features carried the day with those folks.

I tried to recommend movies I thought people would actually want to own, and could be used to demonstrate both sound and video quality that clearly exceeded upscaled DVD on a good BluRay player, high resolution monitor, and highly capable sound system. I will grant you that a bunch of animated films may grab peoples attention on a good BluRay system in ways that even the best live action cinematographers can't match. YMMV.
I second the Jeff Beck. Return to Forever live @ montreux is a must have, your sub will curse you.
I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned "Hancock".
Wonderful picture and sound (special effects heavy) plus it's a really clever, very funny, ocassionally touching and -IMHO- wildly underrated film.

To each his or her own I guess because I don' think I even cracked a grin during Hancock. I admit that it was better than My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
Synth - those two films couldn't be more different. Hancock has a brain in its head. But - I will confess -the world seems to agree with your take on "Hancock". (IIRC, it bombed both at the box and with critics.) BTW, I loved "Heaven's Gate" (long version), too - so maybe it's me - and I shouldn't have been surprised that no-one mentioned it. I still love this flick, though. And it does look & sound very good on BR.
