These are a few of my favourite scenes on disk. The screen shots were taken from the main seating position using a digital camera.

The first 2 images are from theToy Story and Toy Story 2 disks . Both the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 transfers are as perfect as is possible on the blu-ray format. The picture and sound on Toy Story 2 rates a 10+/10. Buzz's battle with the evil Emperor Zurg is a scene in this movie made for a home theatre demo. It has extremely aggressive split surrounds and the deepest, loudest bass transient I have ever heard. Antz also has one of the loudest LFE impacts that I have heard too and is a great computer-generated film.

The above 3 images are from Dinosaur, The Road To ElDorado, and Tarzan respectively. The Dinosaur disk was mastered directly from the digital source so the picture is pristine. I found the music to be a real treat too. Both Tarzan and Dinosaur are perfect reference quality audio and video examples, especially Tarzan which could be the most beautifully animated Disney title around. Tulio and Miguel are featured here in The Road To El Dorado. This movie contains some really great imagery and animation.

Shrek represents a breakthrough in computer animation and a welcome change from the normal kiddie fare. One of my favourite movies, Men In Black, pokes a lot of fun at itself. Finally agent K has graduated from the miniscule gun and using something with a real kick to it. The edgar scene  where he sheds his skin is a nice treat. Just how do you fit an 11ft bug inside an Edgar suit anyway? Chicken Run is a very enjoyable film for the whole family. The animation is absolutely superb, especially for the meticulous process used here.

Talk about scary, Crimson Tide tells the story of how close we can come to a nuclear disaster. This is a disk with a great soundtrack and score. Matrix Reloaded has, in my opinion, the best action sequence that I have seen in a movie thus far. Here is an image from the infamous highway scene, 20 minutes of action bliss. The right shot is from the Terminator 2 blu-ray. The sound on this disk has some real Earth-shattering LFE.

A movie that many have spoken highly of when it comes to sound and visuals is Titan A.E. and it is one of only a few movies to ever "bottom-out" my PSB subwoofer. Deep Impact is a touching disaster epic that shows us the things that should be really important to us. Here is the wave finally reaching the eastern seaboard. Titanic, the second highest grossing movie of all time, contains some spectacular visuals that are accompanied by a great soundtrack and score.

"Call it a test of Manhood". Braveheart is one of the best films ever made. The score, plot, action and acting are all first rate. A Bug's Life is the ultimate reference disk. The picture and sound are tough to beat. This direct digital transfer is completely void of blemishes and may be topped only by the new hi-def disks. "I will have my revenge". What a powerful moment in this great film. While watching Gladiator, you can tell that the director was totally obsessed in creating the best that this genre has to offer. The video, audio and musical score come together to create a masterpiece.

The Fifth Element ledge sequence is a favourite of many. The presentation on this title can be considered one of the best. The Matrix remains one of my favourite reference blu-ray disks. This is one great movie with sound and extras to match. "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightening?" X-Men is a film I enjoyed quite a bit and is featured in the centre. It is a great adaptation of the comic books and arcade games, and a must for any movie collection.
