Blu Ray with the best PQ
Which Blu Ray disc do you think has the best image quality?
Blade Runner- Just looked amazing. The balence between the grain and clarity was done almost perfectly.
Indiana Jones 4- Exact saame reason as Blade Runner. However, I do think that Blade Runner looked slightly better.
The Dark Knight IMAX scenes- Just stunning. Breathtaking. The clearest image i've ever seen my projector give off.

I agree. This is still the best PQ BD that I own. Also way up there (the Disney/Pixar BD's aside):
"Benjamin Button"
"Hellboy"
"The Other Boleyn Girl"
"No Country For Old Men"
"The Fall"
"I, Robot"
"Kingdom of Heaven"
"Sin City"
"Casino Royale"

of the three the OP listed- The Imax scenes for TDK are very impressive, however the feature as a whole is less than ideal since the non Imax footage has been digitally degraded to a certain degree. I would vote for Blade Runner as the most impressive while at the same time satisfying.
Of all the titles released so far that I've seen, with no caveats- How The West Was Won.

The Incredible Hulk look pretty damn good also. The colors are crisp and natural looking and it has a good grain to clarity ratio. Though not as good as Blade Runner. Another Marvel Blu that comes to mind is Iron Man. It looks decent but there is way to much grain and almost zero clarity.

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ
I agree with Crank...the pic quality looks AMAZING...the best i have seen.
I, Robot looks great as well.
Blade Runner also looks awesome for a movie from the 80s.

I have a 2 year old son so I've had the pleasure of watching Disney/Pixar Blu Rays over and over again. My personal favorites are Cars, Ratatouille, and A Bug's Life. Since they are 100% digital transfers, the quality is really top notch.

Add "Knowing" to my list. 5/5 rating for both the picture and sound. Fantastic!

Re: Blu Ray with the best PQ
I disliked Crank's picture quality. But then, I disliked the movie, so maybe that's why I don't remember it fondly.
I'd rank the Lost season set's and other Pixar/Disney releases towards the top, with the Bond restorations and Spider-Man film series also getting high marks. My personal favorite to date though is the IMAX Dark Knight scenes and Kill Bill (both volumes).

Know1ng didn't look that great. There was some edge enhancement in scattered shots (mostly the night scenes) and sometimes the textures looked smeared. I expected it to look better.
If you don't mind lots of intentional grain, Push looks fantastic. The Spirit also looks great.
