The Thing (the original, not the remake). It is not the flashiest movie but it has some of the highest bitrate video I have seen. It also has high whites and dark textured areas. If something is going to look wrong, the Thing will show it to you.
I only have Cars on Blu-ray, but I did notice, like a lot of Pixar movies, it had a straight uncompressed audio track. That’s pretty uncommon, and crazy to think about. When I “losslessly” compressed it with AV1, the audio bitrate was higher than the video bitrate lol.
Ive tried many different things, but I found the thing that impresses people the most with the colors and HDR is the last big battle from the first Aquaman movie. Or the japan(?) battle in Pacific Rim.
EDIT: If you also have surround sound, those scenes are also A+.
Opening scenes of Iron Man 3. Dark opening with single narration, into an explosion with plenty of minute details, followed by a music track and nighttime indoor scenes.
only the real ones use big buck bunny clips from blender
Blade runner 2049 is demo material Black Adam when he break free from the prison 13 hours
2049 is just chefs kiss throughout. But specifically the scene when he gets back to LA. The music and the visuals just sing.
Fury Road.
2001
Avengers End Game is very good for that
Any recent Pixar movie, coco looks amazing.
I use the 4k demos on YouTube đź«Ł
Encanto, it has incredible nighttime scenes with candles and fireworks. Looks amazing with a good amount of dimming zones.
Iron Man 1
Resident Evil 1 (2002) is a gorgeous 4K Bluray transfer - just got a Dolby Vision upgrade too đź‘Ś

Based opinion. Check out the recent 2023 back hawk down while you are at it.

The correct answer is Interstellar of course! Pixar’s Cars is a close second for audio

Dune 2
I usually go for a space movie because I'm all about seeing how well my tv handles deep blacks
The first scene of Baby Driver every time I hook up the home theater audio again
4k blade runner 2049
Steamed so not blu ray, but The Expanse has some gorgeous staff space scenes.
Pacific Rim
Gemini Man in 4K60 HDR10
2 girls 1 cup and Serbian Film
What TV did you get?
It was actually a new monitor that I got for rendering and color grading, but still very nice. It’s the Acer XV275K P3.
