Have your say & ask the experts

'The Dark Knight' is a very good tester and a very good film to boot. The beginning bank job scene (and a few others through-out the film) is shot in IMAX, so you don't get the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Personally, I think chapter 6 from 'Knowing' takes some beating for sound and visuals and all out jaw-droppability, but the film itself isn't as good as 'Dark Knight' (I seem to be in a minority that actually enjoys it).

Quantum of Solace, good picture and sound but the film is not everyones cup of tea.

If you're after Bond with excellent picture and sound, but a good film too... It's gotta be 'Casino Royale'.

Yep, that's another good one.

The Dark Knight - just a great fim, great picture and great audio.  However be aware it defaults to dolby digital and not the higher rated audio when it starts.  You will need to change it manually.

Knowing - Ch 6 airplane crash is good but the later train crash is even better (for audio)

Planet Earth Box set - stunning visuals

Band of Bothers Box Set - Fantastic story and brilliant audio.

Hower the best picture quality I have ever seen is a little known film called Baraka (dont expect a plot or any dialogue but the PQ is mind-blowingly amazing). Worth renting if you can find it.

Dark Knight is the obvious one that everyone's mentioned.  Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is an outstanding transfer and well worth it for the bright colours and to show how well motion is dealt with and the final battle scenes are good for showing off a punchy subwoofer.

Watchmen is supposed to be a wonderful transfer as well but, although I've had it for a couple of weeks, I never seem to get around to checking for sure.  Maybe next weekend?

Yep gotta agree with that.  Casino Royale is probably the best looking film I have (although admitedly I dont have that many!).  Jarhead is also a very good example of a quality Bluray film.  Although the subject matter itself may not be to everyones taste.
