Favorite "Show Off" Blu Ray Movie?
ADVERTS 1
For those of you (unlike me) who have modern systems (1080p display and an audio receiver that uses the new HD/lossless codecs,) what are your favorite movies to use to really show off the great quality that BD can exhibit? I mean odds are you wouldn't use a movie like "Gangs of New York" or "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", so which ones do you like to use to prove to your friends & family that you weren't crazy to spend so much money in your system?

Well BLu ray would be I am legend, the openning scene with the lion...
HD DVD ( if you want me to remove this because of obvious reasons I will, I am just sharing) would be transformers, the whole movie

I still use Transformers on HDDVD as my show HD media, and play the shuttle launch(es) from When We Left Earth off my HR21 to show what broadcast HD looks like.

Crank is really decent looking in Blu-ray. Casino Royale is also one of the best blu-rays I've seen too.

Can anyone attest to Blade Runner and Ratatouille? Those appear to be of better quality. Of those 2 I'd probably pick up BR, but I can't until I upgrade my system as I don't think it'll be too awe inspiring on my current specs.
