BTW, I'll be doing a poll shortly for best audio quality. This is even tougher to narrow down as there's such a wide range of movies out with very good audio.
Best Video Quality
I've seen the threads on "favorite reference disc" and best "demo disc", but haven't seen a poll for best video and audio yet. This will make it easier than wading thru pages of posts and arguements for newcomers to see what everyone's opinion is. Of course the poll is severely flawed, as I can only list 10 movies. Also it's only current as of today, October 9.
I have a list of about of about 20 movies generally regarded as having the best picture quality and have had to somehow reduce it to just 10. If your favorite isn't listed please reply with your choice for best video. I considered putting titles like "The Searchers" in this poll, but although they look great for there time, I'm not sure if they compare to more recent movies like "Seabiscuit" or "Aeon Flux" in outright video quality.

While I think COR is still one of the best, it's hard to imagine anyone that voted COR over Seabiscuit unless you simply haven't seen Seabiscuit. As it stands, it's still THE reference disc for image quality in my opinion.
My reference disc so far is F and F.
Really surprised me with its quality, actually.

I have to go with Riddick. I haven't seen Seabiscuit yet. Training Day, Aeon and Serenity are up there as well.
Training day, maybe Riddick once I see it.
Suprised Constantine is not on this list. The movie has been one of the best I've seen so far and with the Dolby TrueHD sound, it's a complete package.

I'm going to do a "Best Audio" poll as soon as I narrow down my list. Constanine is definitely on it. Any others which should be on the Audio poll? I have Training Day, Constantine, BB and a few others for sure.....

I voted for "Seabiscuit" partially because some of it really blew me away the other day. But I was somewhat torn with "The Polar Express" and "Training Day" in there. For one not on the list, I think "Four Brothers" also looks really good to me.

Unless the people voting in this poll have seen ALL of the discs in the list, the results are fairly meaningless.
Had to go with Polar Express and I've seen everthing on that list.
It's a tough choice between Riddick and Sahara for me. I went with Sahara though. It's soooo razor sharp and those colors...
I'm going with ATL. I've seen most of that list and Seabiscuit is probably the closes to BEST PQ on that poll, so I voted for it. My vote really should go to ATL.
Has everyone already gotten/watched the titles that aren't officially out until tomorrow?
I can't vote until I've had the opportunity to see the titles in the poll which aren't slated to be out until tomorrow as I don't have them yet but expect to tomorrow; viewing likely won't occur until the weekend...maybe this thread was a bit premature or I need to get a good source to get pre-street titles

I've seen both Riddick and Seabiscuit, and Seabiscuit is definitely better. Riddick has the advantage of CGI which dazzles the eye more but Seabiscuit has that looking out the window type of look. Also the first night racing scene in 2 Fast 2 Furious was also amazing and extremely sharp coupled with an equally amazing audio.
playing seabiscuit on my Panasonic Pt-ax100 on a 92' screen looks good but not razor sharp, I would say its the least impressive HD title I have seen. The best ones I have seen that look great on the big screen are Constantine, Serenity, Chronicles of Riddick

Man, Seabiscuit if crystal clear sharp on my calibrated 65" Mits. The colors are stunning, my favorite scenes being the colors of the Fall trees when they're running flat out through the woods.
The DVD looked sweet, so I had high expectations on HDDVD. I wasn't dissappointed.

Oh man, the PQ in Corpse Bride changed my life. I've never seen such beautiful stop motion animation in my life. You can see all the detail on the surfaces of every puppet.
