Just Got A Big TV - What Movie To Watch First

[jberryhill]

My wife and I finally broke down and got a huge-ass TV (because I think my son broke our ten year old tv during a drinking incident when we were out of town).

So, she's off to get a Blu-Ray player and asked me, "So, what is the first movie we are going to watch?"

I suggested Sound of Music.

What should we watch?

1. Loose Change

2. I would suggest a cartoon feature like maybe the Simpsons

Some cartoons can have awesome colors.

3. Either "The Last Emperor" or "Lawrence of Arabia".

4. get something HD

If she is off to get a blu-ray get something that will let you enjoy the full range of your new TV. Those pixar cartoons look great

5. Don't laugh but I recommend the movie 2012.

The movie is a disaster, just awful but the visuals were extremely detailed and very well done. I think they had Blu-Ray in mind when they made this movie.

Anyhow it's a good movie to show you what the new technology you just purchased can do.

6. "Winged Migration"

You will believe you are flying. :-)

7. The Blu-ray of "Baraka."

It's the best-looking Blu-ray ever, IMO. Here's some screenshots:

10. It's not political at all.

It's a silent documentary (with ambient music) of places all around the world.

Though if that's still not your taste, the Blu-Ray of "Blade Runner" is amazing.

11. Planet Earth (the BBC series)

Is pretty.
