Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Critics loved the sound and video on all the Pirates movies, but this is the only one that has any replay value.

    Matrix should have made the list.
    And Close Encounters is pretty impressive.

    Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior, looks absolutely great, too. A prime example of how not to mess up a transfer of an older film.

    Yeah, I agree with Nino, 300 should have gotten a mention (and probably Sin City too), and Matrix is definately a must have in the library

    I would like to see Once Upon A Time In The West in 2k(Blu-ray) or 4k. One of my fav movies.

    Baraka is without doubt the most stunning film I have seen on Blu-Ray. If you want something to impress your friends this is it! On my Sony HD LCD set it's like the screen has become a glass window on a world with amazing scenes. Incredible!

    I agree with Jarvis - the living planet must rate a place in the top 20.
    Seeing this demoed on a 58" Panasonic Plasma TV in JBHIFI blew my mind: I now own a panasonic 50" Plasma and the Living Planet Blu-ray set
