What Blu-Ray Will Blow Me Away?

Another one for Star Trek. Although the lens flare early on is incredibly irritating.

First time I put in a BR disc on the PS3 I was absolutely blown away by the detail. It really was incredible the level of detail compared to what I'd experienced on DVD.
 
I wish to gather ideas about what Blu-Ray will blow me away.

What film would demonstrate how spectacularly superb a Blu-Ray can be. I want blistering cinematography or effects, captivating colours, and a stunning sound track to match.

What would do the trick? Star wars? Blade Runner?
 
Meh - I got it for xmas and wasnt that impressed TBH. Some scenes did look good with plenty of detail - but overall i'd only rate it average compared to other blu-rays I have seen (this is probably more to do with the films age though - its quite grainy).
 
'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Up' are the best Blu Ray transfers that i've seen so far. They both look absolutely stunning.

I also watched 'Event Horizon' last night which looked exceptional (it was filmed on 70mm film as opposed to the usual 35mm film and you can really tell! It's very sharp).
 
All Lord Of The Rings films.I don't have a Blu-Ray player but I'd be tempted to get one when the trilogy is finally released in April, although I would prefer to get the extended versions rather than the theatrical releases.
 
I'm not really sure, that's why i put the both of them seperated by a forward slash. It depenRAB on what Disney Cinemagic HD broadcasts in.
 
Saw 'The Dark Knight' on Blu-Ray and wasn't terribly impressed, given rave reviews. Great film, the sound was great, but didn't think it was anything particularly remarkable visually. Saw some other things on Blu-Ray too and to be honest, just don't see what the fuss is about with this format. Maybe I'm choosing the wrong films, but I'd rather stick to great scripts and performances than technical showcases :rolleyes:
