Blu-Ray movies

"For music, the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds live at Radio City Music Hall is outstanding in terms of picture and sound quality."

Agreed.

And see:

Iron Man - first flight scene
Casino Royal - the poker game scene
Blade Runner Ultimate Collectors edition
There Will be Blood - the oil explosion scene
Ratatouille
3:10 to Yuma - final scenes

Also see these favorite DVD demos upgraded to Bluray:

House of Flying Daggers - echo dance scene
Pearl Harbor - attack scene

Oh yes Blade Runner is a cinematographic wonder. Absolutely stunning in BD. This is the best I have seen on BD so far. I found Master & Commander to be grainy in spots (low lighting). In contrast Blade Runner is excellent colour definition and detail in very dark lighting - a moody artistic film. This film is a masterpiece and established Ridley Scott artistically even though it was not a box office success. Far superior artistically to his incredibly successful Alien.

Did not know you can make a movie like Blade Runner to look that good and sound good today. It's really an old movie. If I can remember, isn't Blade Runner is movie with a lot of talking and not so much action? I don't remember there's a lot of action scenes in Blade Runner.

I bought the movie Quantum of Solace (James Bond) and it sounded pretty intense in DTS-HD Master Audio. So far, I like DTS-HD Master Audio sound format. I have not heard Dolby TrueHD yet and I heard it suppose to sound just as good. There is another sound format called PCM 5.1 and that suppse to sound good as well.

Is there much of a difference in:

- DTS-HD Master Audio

- Dolby TrueHD

- PCM 5.1

Which do you prefer is the BEST sound of the 3 listed above?

Maybe I will start a new thread about these 3 sound formats.

Agreed. It is not a heavy action movie like you get these days. But explosions and car chases are not the only thing shows off HD. A cinemtaogrpahic film shows it off too with careful attention to lighting, camera angles and panoramic views.
That is why BBC's Planet Earth is probably the best BD of all.

Planet Earth is certainly a visual delight, but strictly from a picture quality perspective, its far from the best blu-ray quality that I have seen, IMHO. Same for Bladerunner. Here's a good reference list for the top blu-ray's, strictly from a picture quality persective.

Certainly, there's some subjectivity here, but this seems to be a pretty good reference list. There is a separate thread at the same site for best audio quality.
