jphilbeck Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 How many of you put in a movie that you don't want to watch just to hear how great your speakers sound and what movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdixson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Guilty as charged. Normally it is The Expendables. Though I've also discovered through endless screenings with my 2 year old that Monster's Inc has a rediculous amount of bass on several of the scenes.

swapface Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 LOL, I do that all the time. I have lots of movies and most of them I have not watched since my last upgrade. Most recently I watched Die Hard just to hear what it might sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmassey Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't know about movies I know I don't like but I have been a lot more adventurous on movies I've never heard of before. It usually ends up going poorly and I found some terrible movies to suggest to my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Transformers gets about 5 minutes of play every time someone new comes around, although I'm thinking of purchasing skyfall just for the final fight scene at bonds childhood home.

Vital Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 All the time, I love to demo my system for people when they come over as well but I'm guilty of popping in a movie just to watch a few minutes of it to "wow" myself from time to time. [] I pop in random movies that I know have a great sound track. I have a few hundred blu-rays so it's totally random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themrclean Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I am very guilty of this. What's funny is I put in movies just to "check out" the sound or the pq and before I know it I just watched a whole movie that I had no intentions of watching.

themrclean Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I use my kids as an excuse to watch all the Pixar movies too. It is hard to beat their picture and sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Top Gun HD DVD Dolby TrueHD 6.1 still pretty awesome, 1st 8 minutes...I'm sure the 3D Blu version is even better... and Glory Dolby TrueHD 5.1: the scene from the battle of SHARPSBURG is awesome...Gods & Generals is the reason I have an HDTV, & of course, Gettysburg, Ride with the Devil, 300, Troy (Director's Cut), Flags of our Fathers (HD DVD Superior), Letters from Iwo Jima (JAPANESE Dolby TrueHD 5.1)...
