Question

What is the best movie to play on my home surround sound? (I have a 5.1 300watt surround sound w\subwoofer)

Thanks

Answer 1

Try to find the DTS sampler. This has clips from movies like - Hero, I Robot, Kill Bill, Day after tomorrow etc and some good music videos in surround. Perfect disc to test/demonstrate a home surround sound.

There are some other similar discs too available in the market. Search on the internet and you'll find many (including from THX and various other electronics companies)

Answer 2

5th element, plenty of action and a diverse range of music.

Answer 3

Star Wars.

Answer 4

I like the second chapter of "Star Trek: First Contact" because in about 6 minutes you get male & female voices, music, special effects.

The Lobby shoot-out scene in the original "Matrix" movie can bring some systems to their knees with many minutes of low-frequency sounds. (Lots of systems went into 'protect' mode when this movie came out.)

Answer 5

Most recently I'd have to say Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End, amazing Dolby Digital EX soundtrack as well as and even better LPCM track on Blu Ray. A few years back I'd say The Incredibles, its well..........incredible!

Answer 6

how about the new die hard movie its pretty good too, you will feel like you are really being shot at by bruce willis
