HornEd Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 How about "Das Boot" with a good bottom dweller sub for a reason not to be a submariner. Or one of my favorites for all around appeal and social relevance, "Dangerous Beauty"... it just may convince your significant other that the HT expense is justified. If you like a piano tour de force, try "piano GRAND" the eclectic work of the Smithsonian celebrating the invention of the piano's 300th anniversary... hosted by Billy Joel... far more contemporary than classical. Another one that scores for overall excellence is "Running Free" by the same folks who made "The Bear"... a South African horse story from the horse's perspective. Time out, I gotta go watch a movie!

Gary W. Graley Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theater, what a great sounding DVD that is, for me at least... Movie wise, those that have been listed above are all great, as well as the opening sequence from Mask of Zorro. One that just came out that has a LOT of activity in the surrounds is Jack in the Beanstalk, the Real Story, new to dvd but pretty neat...

Marathon Man Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 For me its: Toy Story 2 Jurassic Park III Vertical Limit (Helo scenes) All time favorite movie both picture and sound as well as story line.... is Gladiator ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desavedo Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Two Movies that sound great that come to mind are: 1. Days of Thunder 2. Gone in 60 Seconds 3. Six Days & Seven Nights 4. Bulletproof 5. Swordfish All the sound effects in these movies are just awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 i have to 2nd m-man on verticle limit. was thinking of mentioning that 1. just on hbo-digital cable, it shook the s-vid connection to the tv loose. thought it was just some graphics on acid there for a lil bit. great LFE! and beautiful scenery/cimematography to boot. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyD Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Gladiator - Unleash Hell Swordfish - opening bomb sequence Dave Matthews Band Listener Supported - All Along the Watchtower Crimson Tide - the scene where Gene Hackman is addressing the crew in the rain. What I like about this scene is that while most of us will never hear huge explosions in person so we really don't have a frame of reference but all of us have heard pouring rain so we can relate.

Mlstrass Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Another vote for Swordfish (the claymore mine scene). I've watched that scene 5 times in a row and just kept cranking it louder and louder...AWESOME. JPIII in DT-ES Pearl Harbor has some great scenes The Haunting is great True Lies with Arnold Have yet to check out The Matrix. I'm saving it for my new sub in a few weeks. Will also have to check out T2UE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 m, true lies - arnold. u mean tom arnold? (j/k) i wasn't real impressed w/ t2 even in dts es (matrix). thought it coulda been mixed much better. now the matrix is a must-have. a true classic in sound effects. believe it took all the oscars for anything having to do w/ sound, not to mention the fx. & it's i believe "only" available in dolby dig 5.1. i believe this just goes to show that, though i consider dts to be the superior format to dolby for higher resolution/sampling rates, it's still up to the sound engineers' job on each disk release. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goods Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Had to add this one to the list. There is a new superbit version of Vertical Limit that I bought last night.Some of the best audio you will hear, especially the dts version. Good surround involvement throughout the movie and some deep bass. You will definitely feel immersed in sound. Highly recommended! ------------------ the goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX87325 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Although "blast (2000)" is not a movie, the power and energy of the players is on the DVD. I appreciate the brass horn reproduction abilities of my old KG 3.5's.f>This message has been edited by RX87325 on 04-11-2002 at 11:27 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vavoline Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 It's not out yet, but I,ll bet "Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowsip of the Ring" will be great. The screams of the Wraiths were intense in the Theater and the Mines of Moria sequence had the bass to make a sub say "help". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchie Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 just 1 scene from The Score when De Niro busts that safe. Neighbours want to #@&%^ me now after playing that scene for the ??th time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 The Fifth Element. Lots of ambient pseudo-technoir background music plus it features the largest controlled indoor explosion ever -- plus the aria by the Diva -- lots of highs; crystallic. I agree here too... Lots of added voices and sounds around you. The diva singing is fantastic too. Another movie to understand what "love" is...LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
