Hiya! Straight to the question, cause curiosity is cool, in your opinion what is the best Blu-Ray? It doesn't have to be about just picture quality and sound it can also be about the quality of the film itself, but it's up to you. Mine is probably the Star Trek Blu-Ray...because it makes my TV look pretty and I can make out each individual sweat on Eric Bana's head. What's yours?
Best Blu-Ray?
Going by quality of blu-ray because if it's a good film it doesn't matter what format you watch it on, dvd or blu-ray.
One of the best I've seen is Avatar - it looks absolutely sublime on blu-ray. This is one film to see if you want to test what blu-ray can do. After the blu-ray, you can see the difference when you put the DVD of Avatar in, very big difference. It comes in a gorgeous steelbook too(see below) that went out of print in just a few days here so glad I pre-ordered it at the time.
All the natural habitat scenes like this for example look just astonishing:

I will agree that Avatar is pretty sweet on blu ray. I also enjoy RHPS on blu ray but that's only because it's my favorite movie.

I think pretty much everything looks amazing on Blu-ray, but one of my favorites is Sunshine. The outer space shots are great.
Also, I surprised that you all like Avatar. To me it looks very cartoony on Blu-ray. It didn't look as bad in the theater, but when I watched it at home on Blu-ray a lot of the CGI looks shiny and cartoony. The scenery and the Mechs look good, but the characters and creatures look really fake.

I decided NOT to pick up the LOTR blurays because each movie is on two discs. That's blasphemy.

Batman Begins looks stunning on blu ray. Well, most of Nolan's films look stunning on blu ray but the contrast is perfect in that film.

Isn't blu-ray just blu-ray? Since it's a digital standard, it all comes out the same so the movie itself doesn't matter if the quality is there in the first place.

My favourite (of my very small collection admittedly) is The Dark Knight. It's kind of cheating since it had Imax footage, but that footage is so incredibly detailed and clean that I don't feel like I'm watching a film, I feel like my TV is a window and I'm looking through it.
