Opinions pls... remember, I don't mean necessarily the best "movie" but the best DVD release (near-perfect picture + sound).Thanks
Follow Ups:
There are so many GREAT movies with near perfect picture and, given the context of when they were released, excellent sound. For B&W, I'd list "Casablanca" ('42, 4:3 formated), "Citizen Kane" ('41, 4:3). In animation (various techniques), I'd recommend "Chicken Run", "Final Fantasy", both "Toy Story" features (these films best watched on a 16:9 TV in WS anamorphic) and the original "Fantasia" ('41, 4:3) which has an excellent surround musical soundtrack as originally released (!). Among the many video music titles now available I'd recommend Alice Cooper's "Brutally Live" (presented in WS anamorphic) which also has superb sound. Finally, for live action features, I'd suggest any of the new superbit transfers (esp. if you have access to a progressive scan DVD player and WS digital TV) as well as "Matrix", "Pitch Black", "Clockwork Orange", "Jurassic Park" (series), "Terminator" I & II, "MIB", "Alien", and "Aliens", all for picture transfer and sound in anamorphic presentation (16:9). My personal preferences are more in the science fiction genre, but I'd be remiss not to mention high quality transfers from other genres like "Silverado", "Seven", and "LA Confidential" and even the documentary "Walking With Dinosaurs" (all anamorphic formated for 16:9).So, I may have gotten carried away an lost my head here, but "Highlander" aside, can there be only one? :o)

the new Superbit version of Fifth Element is Killer! I haven't compared any other ones to originals yet.In the realm of normal DVDs, Star Wars Episode I is pretty good, but as long as you remember that it IS a technology movie- that is most of the SFX are in EVERY scene- therefore you should watch this with director commentary BEFORE passing judgement, IMHO.
I liked the latest transfer (MGM version) of This Is Spinal Tap- not a groudnbreaking picture, but the sound trakc is pretty good. the format shows up the 16mm film stock (this could be bad if you want crystal clear shots. I'm only recommending it because the DVD has resolution to show the grain in the film stock).
Check out DVD Review on line for their say as well.
Cheers,
Dman
The Superbit will knock your socks (and your eyes and ears) off!
