Silly recommendation needed

76.99.187.185

Victor Khomenko

On a whim I decided to make my home theater system work again. Within reason.
I replaced my rather old projector with a very nice Sony VPL-HW40ES (bought used with very low hours on it). And I immediately noticed the inadequacy of my old screen. It was obtained back when every bit of brightness was salvages, hence it has 1.3 gain - creating hot spot. So a new one is needed, and I am trying to figure out exactly what to do there.
Now... here is the problem. My video collection has mostly good films... meaning - they usually make lousy demos. So I need a couple of great image BR's.
It is moderately OK if it is some silly action flick. I would, of course, prefer something that I would like to see, but those two things rarely coincide.
So here it goes - the spectacular video recommendations of something sorta watchable. :)
BTW - Netflix streaming is OK too! In fact, it's "even more better". :)

Chirac played it twice in one week inside the presidential palace. Good selling point to simmer the monocle twirlers down.

Jeunet does all kinds of post-production magic with colors and backgrounds that are entertaining.

"The Lord of War" (2005) starring Nicholas Cage as an arms dealer in Little Odessa.
Try "Road to Perdition" - great video, great audio and maybe sorta watchable, even for you... N/T - musetap 20:28:49 06/03/19 (3)

...I do have the Game of Thrones BR's, 7 seasons of it, and as I recall it has spectacular image quality, so one position is taken! :)
