Another that's fun to watch:Allegro Non Troppo.The Italian version of Walt Disneys' Fantasia.Animation to classical music.
I don't have a Blu-Ray DVD Player yet. I am either going to shoot for a PS-3 (w/80 GB Hard Disk) or the $800.00 Denon. The new and forthcoming player from Oppo is also a prime candidate.

But in the meantime, for my reference movies??? For picture quality, I am going to put Casino Royale into my DVD Player, and for sound quality, then it's going to either be Die Hard I or The Specialist.

I will be getting a Blu-Ray Player this year (DEFINITELY).

Charles, you MUST go the Bluray route. If you can do 1080P, thats great but you must do the new audio codecs. WOW!

Colors and near three dimensional quality of the image in 'The Phantom Of The Opera' is stunning.
