Looking at comments from "Constant Image Height" projector folks, you'd think that having the switching of aspect ratios was the end of the world.
People with masking systems (like me) or people with CIH setups are left in a tough spot about how to show the movie.

It is weird, I noticed it too.
I would like to take this time to say Dark Knight is an excellent demo for blu-ray.
Also, if I ever get a BD drive I would love to be able to take images from that movie for use as wallpaper. Does anyone know if thats possible in Vista or Win 7 with Media Player or VLC? Or does the stupid DRM bullshit prevent me from doing that?
Transformers 2 (Wal-Mart's Big Screen Edition with the IMAX footage)
Iron Man
The Dark Knight
Any of the Pixar movies.

Wall-E
Coraline if you liked James & the Giant Peach or Nightmare Before Christmas (Henry Sellick stop-motion animation)
The Fountain
Curse of the Golden Flower
Get Netflix so you don't need to buy blu-rays.

Monsoon Wedding. Fuck all these baysplosion junk movies others have recommended. Who cares if it's pretty if it's inane and vacuous? Get pretty and awesome.

The one with the IMAX scenes is $34. I'll take the normal bluray for $20.
I second Coraline. It looks awesome.

Braveheart, Iron Man...
Dark Knight is decent, but is not the best example of an HD transfer. The non-IMAX footage (80%+ of the film) is quite weak compared to other excellent transfers. The IMAX bits are great, of course, but if anything, their presence makes the rest of the sub-par PQ stick out even more.

Either way, any suggestion is going to depend on what you like, visually, I think all blu-ray disks are so far ahead of DVD in video and sound quality you are going to be amazed.
Check out Iron Man. The desert in the begining will blow you away in 1080p. The whole movie looks great.
The Hulk. Man, it's just a masterpiece of lighting and effects.
10,000 bc , heck , even for kicks I got Journey to the Center of the Earth. I'm not a big Brandon Fraser fan, but 1080p 3d at home had to be checked out. Either way, Grats on your purchase!
