your reference dvd

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!

Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Rings disk two as they enter the Mines of Moria through the battle with the Balrog

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

How about "Fast and the Furious (#4)" when it comes out in a couple of months???

From what I saw in the preview on TV, there is going to be a lot of surreal action in THAT movie. And the soundtrack should be pheonominal (spelling??).

AND

"Cerrot":

I WILL be going the Blu-Ray route definitely. The player in question is not going to be a Sony PS-3 as originally stated in my last post. It will be a Pioneer BDP-51FD instead (a GREAT player for the money...... High Quality Blu-Ray Picture, Build Quality and Wolfson DAC's for sound quality..... what's NOT to like about this player).
