Easy's Home Cinema Film Choice opening night thread

Finding Nemo. Awesome sound and such a cool animated film

 

[Baplad]

If your into animated movies Wall-e, Ratatouille & Kung Fu Panda are a must.

My choices would be - Pans Labyrinth & Dark Knight

 

[mysticsniper]

I would choose out of these ones

The Day After Tomorrow
The GodFather Trilogy
Tropic Thunder
Blade Runner

Good luck in deciding. I wish I had this problem

 

[Andr3w]

Have you decided yet? ?I get my px80 delivered tomorrow and want a blu-ray to watch this friday night but cant decide.

Im tempted by 2001:space odessey or zulu, but i dont feel these will look as good as something as modern

 

[SourChipmunk]

Caligula (released on Blu-Ray Nov. 2008)
Eyes Wide Shut
Boogie Nights


Where are your priorities?

Easy,

Just put the below kit together and have been testing blu rays all week. At first i thought Iron Man or Transformers etc but then i tried King Kong.

Seriously there is no better movie to really stretch the legs of an AV setup. Granted it is really long and the story is well, drawn out but my god the PQ and Sound are amazing. For example, in the scene where they are trapped fighting off those huge bugs you can literally hear all the bugs around you - lol my GF had to shut her eyes.

You can get Star Wars a new hope as a HD 1080p download, I know as I have it and it is lovely!

 

[Participant]

I think you should watch a Blu-Ray porno.

Officially or a rip of an upscaled TV broadcast?

 

[Walter Sobchak]

HDTV broadcast. It is not an upscaled tv broadcast, it is a pretty good quality 1080p transfer.

Ah, that's nice to know

 

[DigitalReaper]

I know you asked for films, but if you're looking for some short clips apple do quite a few HD trailers. The video quality is pretty decent (IMO) and a lot of them are in 5.1, not sure how good the audio is though, I have crap speakers

Another vote for Iron Man or the Dark Knight.

I wouldn't bother with Star Wars until it's out on BluRay. The Wookie Groomer versions are great, but Star Wars will be much better once out on BluRay.

Been doing some testing...

Is it normal getting black bars at the top and bottom of the film when playing Bluray on PS3?


Apologies if this is a noob question but all my DVD's on my HTPC don't look like this.


Tried transformers and got black bars top and bottom....

 

[McMav]

yup its the aspect ratio the director set. think 21:9 not 16:9

[Xee]

Ice Age 1 & 2, and Kung Fu Panda on Blu-ray are awesome too!

 

[Prophet]

Speed Racer.

Watched it on a mates 108" 1080P screen a few months ago. Crap film but the trippy colours and HD quality are jaw dropping..

Very normal dude, the majority of films are like that. Oxy wasn't joking, Philips have just released a 56" 21:9 TV as that aspect is so common for films. I'd recommend Apocalypto if you want a great quality 16:9 blu ray.
Oh, and great choice with transformers
