One of my favorites is still La Haine. I think black & white just looks spectacular in HD. But I also gotta go with my HD fav Kingdom of Heaven. I hope Gladiator looks stunning.

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ

wow, this is tough haha

i think you cant go wrong w/ any of the animated movies (wall-e, cars, nightmare before xmas, corpse bride). I also think speed racer, king kong, pan's labyrinth and sin city look stunning as well.

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ

It's all subjective. I remember The Dark Knight getting stellar (and sometimes perfect) video scores despite all the problems that plague that transfer. I just mentioned what I saw in the video quality of Know1ng and it's nowhere near as great as the all the high praise I'd read before watching the disc.

Best one I've seen so far is ZULU. Simply incredible for a movie made in 1964!

I'd like to add "Death Race" to my list. Just watched it again and it has to been in the Top 10 best PQ's I've seen.

Just watched "The International" on BD. It definitely is reference and demo material.

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ

on a technical side 'Knowing' SHOULD look good, it was shot with 4K Red One cameras.

for 'The International' some scenes were shot in 70mm.

No Country for Old Men is still the best looking live action BD.

I have to check that out. My nephew was an extra in the Guggenheim scene and I was outside the museum watching them film that day. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the movie so I wouldn't own it.

Just because it was shot digitally doesn't mean it will look great. 35mm film is 4k also.

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ

Speed Racer is the best live action (even though it has Digital everything in it)

Pixar anything is the best animated.

Coraline is the best Stop Action

The Dark Knight (only the night IMAX chase sceen)
