Best Movies, Documentaries, games, etc to Showcase your hi-def plasma/lcd & HTS I have been looking around for a discussion on what are the best movies/documentaries to bring the best out of our plasma/lcds and 7.1/5.1 home theatre systems. These will typically be on a full hd format with uncompressed audio like bluray disc, however a lot of dvds also bring out a good experience. In addition to bluray and dvd discs, it will also be great to point out full hd format videos linkies (like wmv-hd or divx-hd) which look and sound good on full hd home theatres.
So here is a thread, where you can mention your choice of movie, documentaries, games, etc which our best to showcase your home theatre setup and display. It will also be nice if we mention our home theatre setup (especially plasma or lcd) in addition to the movies that look and sound best on the same. This will be a good reference for others.
Do note that this thread is meant for good movies, documentaries, etc for home theatre and plasma/lcds and we may or may not be bothered about the storyline as long as it looks/sounds good.
This is different from "the movie thread" which tracks reviews on all movies and "the car movies" threads which tracks all of the best car movies.
So heres my list as of now (will keep updating)
1) Planet Earth (awesome documentary by BBC)
2) Blade Runner (5 disc ultimate collectors edition - looks really good on plasma)
3) Mission Impossible 3 (sounds and looks great)
4) Hellboy (amazing to watch on plasma)
5) Transformer (really good sound effects)
6) Casino Royale
7) Terminator 1,2,3 (looks and sounds really good especially 2)
8) 300 (amazing to watch)
9) Grand Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3 game - very well done full hd gameplay)
For reference the setup I am on right now is
Panasonic 42PV80 plasma display
Onkyo THX-990(S) 7.1 thx certified home theatre system augmented with Jamo S606 front floorstanders
2 PS3s for playing blurays, dvds and games
