Pirates 1-3, Ratatouille, Cars, Crank, Kingdom Of Heaven, Die Hard 4, The Fifth Element Remastered.. Those are good to start off with.

Also Lost Season 3, Apocalypto, and Shoot 'Em Up. IMO The Rat & Cars are the kings of all HD PQ.

I picked this up on HD-DVD a while back and was practically drooling the entire time I was watching it. Which one is supposed to have the better transfer? I had nearly the same experience with A Clockwork Orange but I thought 2001 looked better.

I 2nd Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The movie literally looks like it was filmed 2 days ago at times, its not supposed to look this good, but it does.

Although I agree with many of the posts here, my personal demo favorite is the John Wayne film, THE SEARCHERS. Although I am not a big fan of the film, the HD transfer is just outstanding.

I love to show the opening to my guests since this is a 50-year old movie and this transfer makes it look better than many current ones.

Agree on The Searchers, that has long been my fav (though I don't have it on BD). Man On Fire is just tremendous, that may be my favorite Fox transfer yet.

They're identical, same codec/bitrates and everything.

Another vote for Ratatouille and Cars. Meet the Robinsons looks great as well, and I hear Rescue Dawn does too.

Doesn't do much good when the viewer is passed out on the floor from how bad the movie it.

Cars

Yeah, with so many high-quality PQ/AQ releases out there, it's easy to stick to good movies versus those that are mere eye and ear candy.
