    The first one that comes to mind for me might be Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
    Probably the Omaha beach scene in Saving Private Ryan, even though it's disturbing enough on its own.

      Not the whole movie, but the end of the original Highlander movie where the wall of ceiling to floor windows explodes behind him. To this day, that's still one of the coolest cinematic explosions of all time.

      Otherwise, the original Star Wars would probably be the full-length feature I'd want first to take advantage of Blu-Ray.

        I currently only own 1 Blu-Ray DVD. It happens to be The Dark Knight, which has some pretty good special effects that look nice in that format. Especially if your TV/DVD player have a true black color.

        If I could have any movie in Blu-Ray it would probably be Empire Strikes Back. But it would have to be the remade one, because the original would look horrible in that format.

          I would go for Band of Brothers or From the Earth to the Moon for Blue Ray. In terms of movies...I like the previously mentioned ones. Not sure what I would add.

                Adventureland: John Hughes' script meets Freddy Meyer.

                Had potential, but JFC, it's a bad 80s movie that is simply passable at best.

                The actors did okay (and Kristen Stewart is yummy) but the story was total cookie cutter, and it just doesn't work. Even for escapism and predictability it wasn't that enjoyable.

                I don't really have much to say other than that. It MIGHT pass the Saturday Afternoon Killer test, but I think it's more prone to the "watch with your buddies while drinking, so you can rip everything and laugh" test.

                I suppose if you want to simply waste time with a movie, this is your answer, but that's about it.

                  Kristen Stewart is a dumb ***** who should be tied to cinder blocks and dumped in the middle of the ocean.

                  Edit
                  That wasn't harsh enough, give her a tank of air so she can gasp for breath as her lungs are quickly crushed.

                    Don't really see the appeal of Kristen Stewart.

                    Don't feel as strongly against her as some people do.

                          And you can't leave the room when the movie's playing why?



                          I just got a copy of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I've heard good things and I'm going to watch it this weekend.

                            And I don't give two craps about Twilight. Doesn't change the fact that Kristen is dam good looking.

                              I refuse to leave the home to get away from the surround sound. BTW if you listen to just the audio of twilight with no visuals, you'll know true pain.

                                His house only has one room. Imagine the tension later that night when he was spooning with his sister, because he has to share a bed with her, and he thought of Kristen Stewart and popped wood. That is actually why he hates Kristen Stewart.
                                Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
