Last Updated April 23, 2012
These are the titles that I consider will give you the best in-home 3D experience and are most worthy of your purchase consideration. Rest assured that this list will be updated regularly to show you which titles are currently reigning champs.
1.
Avatar (Fox) in the top spot should come as no surprise. The home 3D experience exceeds that of the theatrical. This is the title that sets the benchmark. Currently only bundled with Panasonic displays.

Hugo (Paramount) Hugo is such a rare wonder; a children’s film that is more for the child in all of us than strictly for the young. An exceptional 3D presentation though many have reported excessive crosstalk.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (Warner) is the most obscene and outrageously funny 3D spectacle I have ever seen. Play it at your next adult gathering.

Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3. Whether you buy individually or in the trilogy set, these are perhaps the finest example of 3D at its best without the added gimmickry.

Born To Be Wild (Warner) is the most visually appealing of all the IMAX documentaries. Overpriced for 41 minutes of content, but If you can nab this for about $20, do grab it.

Deep Sea 3D (Warner) is one of the most entertaining of the Imax documentaries with excellent 3D. We don't agree with the $40 pricetag for content under 45 minutes.

Under The Sea 3D (Warner) just places itself behind Deep Sea 3D. Highly entertaining and effective underwater 3D. Lackluster narration by Jim Carrey. Overpriced at $40 for content under 45 minutes.

Step Up 3D (Touchstone) should have been rated higher. It is the best live action 3D I have reviewed. Problem is, it may have limited appeal. Don't judge this movie by its cover!

How To Train Your Dragon (Dreamworks) excels at being beautifully animated with a wonderful storyline. It's 3D presentation is more subtle than other animation fare, but overall a worthy purchase.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (Warner) places the viewer dead smack in the middle of an adventure that mimics a wild theme park ride with plenty of projected effects.
