sidenote: don't listen to blu-ray reviewers like ever, they generally have no idea what they're talking about.

2001: A Space Odyssey
The transfer for T2 is subpar. I see graininess on mine in some of the scenes.
Transformers 3 is stunning! STUNNING! the audio is the best too.
Read the spoiler, it was a joke. Those two movies are considered some the worst transfers.

Meh, tbh the AVS people overemphasize strict picture-quality. The ultimate effect is more subjective, and is strongly informed by how striking the pictures are on a more visceral level.

This, though I would amend that none of the sequels benefit as much from the 1080p up-rez as the 1979 original does. All these years, I never realized it said "Weylan Yutani" [sic] on the monitors, or that the ship's computer "Mother" is actually MU-TH-UR, as seen on the little panel next to the entrance to her main terminal. It's eye-meltingly good. Whereas the sequels looked pretty much the same as ever to me.
2001 is also an awesome blu-ray showcase; e.g. you can read the huge list of instructions next to the zero-g toilet.

This is also THE must have 3D Blu-Ray as well.
Speaking of that, my tv is 3d capable but didn't come with a pair. Any suggestions?

The only 3D blu-ray that I could find that I thought I'd actually watch a few times was Drive Angry 3D. I might get Piranha 3D at some point too, because that movie is amazing. There isn't really anything great in that format yet, though. It's all dumb movies, so you have to pick out the dumb movies that fit into your tastes, I guess. Which makes me want to go as dumb as possible.
I agree, but the OP did ask for the best transfers flat out in his topic.
Clearly the solution here is to get a well-shot movie with amazing picture quality on BD. I personally recommend Zodiac. The expensive OOP 2-disc US version, the international Warner disc is inferior.

I think Panasonic requires Panasonic glasses, you can't use some fo the universal ones. That being said the Panasonic ones are very nice, if pricy.

I use 3Active glasses and they work fine (I think I have the same TV as the one the guy mentioned). They seem to be of a similar quality as the Panasonic ones I tried in the store, though obviously I didn't spend that much time with those and the conditions were really different.
I'm having a really great time playing Ico in 3d.

As several people have noted, Sin City is spectacular visually:
Really amps up the creep factor on the Yellow Bastard and Elijah Wood's character.

Tintin is great, and I love it in 3D, but Tron was just made for 3D.

Recently picked up copy of Angel Heart for £3.99 - if that wasn't good enough, imagine my surprise to find the transfer quality being top notch.
Is there something wrong with this screenshot? Tons of white clipping and aliasing.

Why I like to mention Antichrist is that the transfer doesn't have any noticeable flaws, unless you really try to look for them I guess, and the images are astounding (got a bronze on the list you linked to). The super-slow-motion scenes are mind-blowing on a Panasonic ST50.
Zodiac is certainly gorgeous though.

It was a random screen grab out of VLC from a 1:1 rip I made of my SC Blu--probably my fault.
The US BD is terrible. The DNR is so excessive that planes get erased!
Well Zodiac is only tier gold too on there. The tiers are pretty nitpicky after a certain point. It's still a useful guide, though.

Zulu on blu-ray is stunning.

Yeah, but buying Zulu on blu-ray makes you one of those. Might as well finish it off and get Band of Brothers, Gettysburg, and Lawrence of Arabia on BD too, and then masturbate to the History channel in HD.
edit: Jesus christ I'm an ass. Sorry dude. :\
EE, DNR, and contrast boosting.

Oh, I didn't know that. Though most of the stuff appears to be only visible to the real enthusiasts, so I don't really mind
