Default Best Blu-Ray Disc

In peoples opinions, what is the best Blu-Ray movie out so far that will show off BOTH my 1080p Plasma and 7.1 Surround Sound?

I want to be able to put a disc in and show someone a scene or clip that will just blow them out of the water and clearly note my system.

The movie itself I guess doesn't need to be that great, but it sure wouldn't hurt.


Thanks,
Jon

The 7.1 is the tricky part, as there aren't nearly as many discs with it as there are 5.1. I'd suggest maybe 3:10 to Yuma, as I think it's a great film, with fantastic audio and great video.

I think the best all-around BD out would be Hairspray if you into musicals.

Disney Pixar's Cars is bar none the best looking and sounding disk available.

One of the best all around for PQ and AQ would probably be Pan's Labrynth. Its has a 7.1 DTS-HD MA track, but this one is more for PQ. I also agree with 3:10 to Yuma.

If you can do 5.1 instead of 7.1, I'd go with I, Robot.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. From research in other places as well as your responses, it appears "3:10 to Yuma" and "Cars" seems to be the takers so far.

I don't want to have to buy a lot of BD's, I rent mostly from NetFlix, but I want to be able to have 1 or 2 to put in and show people what my system is capable of.

As for the 7.1, mine is actually 5.1 upgradable to 7.1... it also has virtual 7.1 for disk that support 7.1.

Thanks again,
Jon
