1.85:1 Action/Adventure recommendations
I would appreciate some of your recommendations for some action/adventure/special FX/epic/big budget blockbuster DVDs that are in 1.85:1 widescreen ratio. That section of my collection is only about 10% 1.85:1, and I'd like to even it out so I can help battle burn-in for my new plasma. It's tough to find any decent ones! All I have so far is:
Spiderman War of the Worlds (Spielberg) Hellboy Saving Private Ryan Jurassic Park Trilogy Back to the Future Trilogy Glory and a small handful of others that weren't really blockbuster status Thanks! |
Predator
Aliens Sneakers |
Blade 2
Lethal Weapon A.I. Artificial Intelligence |
Aliens for sure
|
12 Monkeys
Total Recall Platoon Out of Sight |
Under Siege
Under Siege 2: Dark Territory Total Recall Starship Troopers RoboCop (MGM Release, Criterion is 1.66:1) The Fugitive U.S. Marshals Batman Batman Returns Batman Forever And if you were interested in TV: 24 Alias |
There are thousands, and thousands of titles with 1.85:1 OAR to choose from the entire retailers DVD catalog, including non-popular titles as well. It will be extremely difficult to choose each, and every one from our personal DVD collections to recommend. Limited viewing DVDs with OAR of 2.35:1, and 2.40:1 on your plasma TV in fear of potential burn-in, you are liable to miss out on other many good movies.
I assume you paid good money for your plasma TV, so enjoy it, without viewing limitations, and restrictions to yourself.... Heck! Get your money's worth, and watch whatever movie you want, regardless of the OAR. :) Just a little FYI! This was one of my main issue of concern, when I decided to purchase an LCD instead of a Plasma ;) |
He might just want them so that he can watch them during the 200 hour burn in period.

I'm currently in the same process, boy it sucks :(

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Good time to get Sin City, I didnt know. I also picked up Waterworld, thought for sure it wouldnt be 1.85.

VAmpire Hunter D Bloodlust, Elfen Lied (anime series) and Desperado. I believe Miyazaki movies are generally 1.85 too, so something there might be of interest.

Here's a bunch:
The Constant Gardener Snatch Brother The Salton Sea Shiri Narc Downfall Ong Bak Gangster No. 1 Way Of The Gun City Of God Millers Crossing The Good Thief Catch Me If You Can |
Incredibles is actually 2.39:1
and I know most of mine were repeats. but when I see a double member recommendation it gives me more incentive to my purchase |
