Blu-ray DVD

[SLCR]

I just purchased and hooked up a new 1080p HDTV for the new football season.  I also added a blu-ray player to enjoy movies when not watching football and the rest of baseball.
I want to rent a blu-ray dvd this weekend.  Any recommendations on which dvd that will get me the best "WOW!" experience the first time I fire this puppy up??

Pirates of the Caribbean looks great on Blu Ray. Pay attention to the ocean and background detail.. It is impressive.

There's always Rambo 4 also, there's nothing quite like a high definition massacre in full surround sound to help satisfy one's blood lust.

Anything new that doesn't rely on a lot of CGI and overly digital visual effects will be a good way to test it out. The extra-sharp picture makes digital stuff look even more digital and fake, which can ruin some scenes, I think.

Pay attention to the fake fires in Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and you'll see what I mean. Watch a scene on DVD, then the same on BR and you'll see what I mean.

Debbie does Dallas. Alittle outdated, but the concept hasn't changed since the stone age.

The "Planet Earth" series is available on BR now.  I don't know if you can rent it, but it's sure worth the purchase.  It was beautifully filmed in 1080p.

We can definitely recommend anything in the Debbie does Dallas genre
Screens larger than 34" were made for it

Dunno about this.  A buddy of mine has a video set up through a projector at home and he won't watch porn on it.  Too much detail.

Blade Runner, I Am Legend, 300 and Behind Enemy Lines (DTS-HD) are just a few i would recommend. The cgi in 300 is excellent

We just watched Cloverfield on ours.
It was a little weird but cool none the less
