garymd Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Stupid movie but the avalanche scene in Vin Diesel's mega hit, XXX is great to show off your sub(s). My wife came close to kicking me out when I brought that one home from blockbuster! "What, did I marry an 8 year old?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I have to concur with the opening war scene from Private Ryan. On the audio side, the DTS recording of "Joshua Judges Ruth" by Lyle Lovett.. Incredible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Wow gary 8 year old. I got I wish you would grow up already, you act like a 2 year old with a new toy. Can't comprehehend a 2 year old asking for 2 PC+2039s. Time must have really changed.

garymd Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Scott - Our wives, IMO should be more understanding. At least our obsessions keep us home. Or maybe that's the problem...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonman Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Brotherhood of the Wolf makes excellent use of the surround channels. Plus picture quality and music are fantastic! Not to mention it is a great movie as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Speaking of a killer system and DVD to show it off with, I checked out a new upscale electronics store in my area yesterday, and the highlight of my tour was a 50" Pioneer Elite HD plasma TV and Pioneer Elite DVD player, both very recent models, though unfortunately I can't remember the exact model #s right now. It's late and I gotta crash in a few minutes. Anyway, they were playing SW Ep.2 on it and the picture was phenomenal! Of course it's a THX Ultra qualified system with a movie done start to finish digitally. It was so smooth, clear & sharp that it appeared to be as sharp as the HDTV demos I've seen from Nature, NOVA and other programs we've all seen clips from at Best Buy, etc. I would absolutely love to see Fifth Element Superbit and other Superbit discs played on that monitor along with T2:UE and Fellowship of the Ring: EE.

pierceb Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I'm gonna add in Fantasia 2000 here. I won't say it's better than the movies already mentioned, but the Firebird scene rocks my house. I always use it as a demo. -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yada Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I think most of us would agree the standards are: Matrix Gladiator T2 (although I don't own it) But I have recently borrowed True Lies (THX) and the surround effects sounds awsome !

Also, nothing better shows off your sub than the avalanche scene in XXX. Just make sure your pictures are nailed to the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcoker Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Here is my two cents.. Any Lord of the Rings. Gladiator Ice Age...Yes but It visually perfect. Starwars I & II Santan..(if dealers play this on their Plasmas and Kruell showrooms you know its good). and Eagles "HFO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
