Best: LOTR, Citizen Kane, Singin In The Rain'
Worst: This may be a surprise but I thaught The Godfather Part 1 print was in horrendous condition. On a widescreen set you really notice all the dirt and specs. It was very distracting

Numerous bests includeing fellowship of the ring ee,star wars 2 and monsters inc.and a few more that are right up there.
For worst there are several contenders from some brentwood 10 packs that i have but i would say Boot Hill(from one of the brentwood 10 packs) starring the trinity boys terence hill and bud spencer is the absolute worst,there is so much snow(and no i dont mean real snow lol)in the picture that it looks like it is takeing place in a blizzard lol

DVD Talk Special Edition
Best: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly(I know people aren't particular fans of this, but after seeing it in grainy full screen on TBS, probably playing their original master, it was a revelation to see it
Worst: I rented Taxi Driver and I was appalled by how bad it looked. I know it's not supposed to be pristine, but it looked a DVD ripped from a VHS.

Everything looks like crap on my TV. 7 year old 25" Sanyo that's been dropped twice. But can't afford a decent TV till sometime next year.
Till then, mostly watch on the laptop. LOTR:FOTR EE Looks incredible.

Not the best, but one that deserves more attention is Altman's Popeye. Beautiful transfer.
Worst: The Red Balloon, which slipped under the radar earlier this year, and has since disappeared from every online store. It had to be some kind of bootleg because no legitimate company would ever release a dvd that terrible.

Best: LOTR: FOTR & TTT EE, SW: Episode 2, Monster's Inc.
Worst: Batman, hands down. It looks like they took a heavily overplayed film reel from a dollar theater somewhere and used it for the DVD transfer.

Infocus X1 w/67' wide screen:
Best animated (all animated look pretty damn good):
Lion King (great sound too)
Best non-animated:
Vertical Limit SB (too bad I don't like the movie)
Worst:
2010-they say this is animporhic but it can't be. It was one of the 1st things I got back in May after I got the projector and it horrified me. Thought I'd need to return the projector
