DVD's that look great on large displays-40" & up?
I'm curious about your opinions on the best discs that give an incredible picture on big screens DLP, LCD RPTV.
Two months ago I got my first big screen set and am curious about what my fello DVD-Talkers are watching that really makes their HT shine. Personally, I think the entire LOTR trilogy looks amazing on my 61" DLP. Some others that have taken my breath away are:
Air Force One SB
Spiderman 2
Star Trek Generations SE
Star Wars: AOTC
Star Wars: TPM
Dawn of the Dead R3
Casshern R2
Helboy DC
Finding Nemo
Monster's Inc.
Toy Story 1 & 2
Which other titles really dynamically showcase your HT?

sw the phantom menace looks horrible on my 9ft screen. there is a tremendous amount of edge enhancement. more than i've seen on any other title.
i'll agree the lord of the rings trilogy looks great. also, alot of posters at avsforums use finding nemo to demo their giant screens. lost in translation looks great. as does my region 3 release of hero.

i absolutely hate the additions/changes made to the films, and bristle at the fact i'm left with no high quality alternative besides them, but i have to admit that Star Wars absolutely floors me everytime i put it in.
i'm more impressed with its PQ than ESB (which every review i've seen seems to give a higher grade to as far as video goes).
after a slight brightness tweak, the 'old' footage looks flat out amazing to me.
Amelie looks gorgeous as well.
ditto for Brotherhood of the Wolf.
hard to beat Singin In The Rain SE, and while there are a few minor nitpicks with it, the New Gone With The Wind SE looks luscious.
Starship Troopers (either the 2 disc SE or the SB)
Jerry Maguire SE
Hulk
Bourne Identity
Below
From Hell
all of these i would consider 'reference looking' for large displaysv
