Smile Top ten projector films


Ok this might start a debate but I am new to the PJ forum and currently improving our AV set up.
Jeff @ Horsham hifi has been brilliant at helping me out with our complex set up.
This is subject to opinion but excluding Sports, sky, TV etc what do you think you should have as the top ten must have DVD films to appreciate the projector experience with Dolby surround in all its full glory.

Re: Top ten projector films

Just watched, King Kong and MI-3 in HD-DVD on the projector and they looked fantastic, I always think you need a big creature or wide scenery to really make a big screen worth while. (Oh or Kate Beckinsale... )

Re: Top ten projector films


Briliant
This is very interesting & entertaining.
Looks like
star wars -
king kong
& gladiator are a must

Any music or is that just personal taste
Extreme sports like off piste skiing
and what about old films that havn't been recorded in HD
but 16:9 or technicolour

Keep it coming

Cheers

Battle of Britain, Midway, the searchers all look good in SD-DVD for some older films on a PJ.

Re: Top ten projector films

OK, I'll throw some in which appeal to the kids in all of us too!

The Incredibles
Monster's Inc.
I, Robot
Serenity
King Kong
Batman Begins
Contact
Independence Day
Gladiator
Madagascar

Remember these are movies that look good on a large screen, I do not claim that they are all good movies per se.

Re: Top ten projector films

Hmmm, my favs so far:

Revenge Of The Sith
King Kong
Gladiator
Spiderman
The Matrix Reloaded
Armageddon

Maybe someone should start a "Worst Projector Films" Thread.

House Of Flying Daggers for me!...it looks so blurry on my LCD, Damn You!!!

Talking Re: Top ten projector films


OK some amazing film choices.
Can't help noticing that a lot are horror and battle films - very male.
Any suggestions on good films for the ladies
after all they do get to watch the PJ's or do they!

Keep it coming
