Twister DTS - The entire movie. No, I'm not kidding :)

New thread closed so I will bump this one up...

Have to agree with SPR. I also like the diva scene in The Fifth Element. The opening crash scene in Pitch Black is great for room shaking.

I will throw my picks in too....these are the ones I use when friends come over and I want to show off....

MATRIX - Dodge This for sure!

GLADIATOR - "on my signal, release HELL"

HEAT - Downtown shootout

SW Episode 1 - Pod Race Scene

ARMAGEDDON - Beginning when asteroids devour NYC

THE ROCK - Criterion Editon, the Ferarri Hummer chase through the streets of SF.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS - The Nick Cage version, the Mustang chase scene

T3 - the whole movie is SOOO DANG LOUD rumbles the house!

THX spot with the robot? - that uses all the speakers and is fun to watch too!

thats all I can think of for now!

good recent demo discs
open range my god is that gun fight loud. I jumped several times, not expecting such loud sound
underworld, supposingly has extreme lfe, but didn't get to hear it that was since people in the house were sleeping.
freddy vs. jason

Star Wars Attack of the Clones: Speeder Chase, Asteroid Chase, Clone War, and finale.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace: Pod Race, Duel of the Fates.
Freddy VS Jason: The whole damn movie! Great atmosphere.
Matrix/Matrix Reloaded: End of Matrix. Burly Brawl, Highway chase.
Superman The Movie: Credits, Krypton blowin up, Chasing the Rockets.
Raiders: Beginning in the jungle, truck chase.
Blade 2: Opening.
Wes Cravens New Nightmare: Dream world!

Daylight (DTS)
plenty of powerful deep low end bass

Pirates of Caribean
good surround plays

Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3 (DTS)
again, plenty low end bass

Pearl Harbor (Vista Series DTS-ES)
fantastic pciture transfer & great surrounds, plenty low end (check out the attack scenes)

The Time Machine(new one) when the morlocks come out to hunt and capture people just rocks in DTS,you can hear the darts whizzing from behind you and thunking into the t.v. lol,has really great bass yoo

hijack - but there's this taco bell commercial that basically says exactly what you are talking about here... creepy.

Daredevil (DTS track) makes fantastic use of the surrounds and creates truly a wide, immersive soundstage.

<b>We Were Soldiers</b> The 5.1 EX track is an aural assualt.

Open Range (in DTS) the shootout scene
Bad Boy II - the car chase scene
Tears of the Sun - the last shooting scene (bullets flying everywhere)
Underworld - almost every scene in the movie. Deep bass also.
Driven - any race scene

the only thing is that reloaded imo didn't have great "ommph" or power to the actual sound but had lots of bass and lfe. Lets just say, its hard to hear the actual punches during the burley brawl but if neo does the slow motion thing, the lfe is killing.

thats the way I remember it in theaters...

The Best Sounding DVD movie
 

Hey folks! What do you think is the best sounding DVD movie for your home theater right now. I think the terminator,SWAT, Nemo and some others are excellent. Please let me know what you think.

Good Burger

Gladiator
Terminator 2
LOTR: FOTR
LOTR: TT
Die Hard
Jurassic Park
Appollo 13
Fifth Element
Die Another Day
Band of Brothers (especially episode 2)
Fast And the Furious
and finally, my #1 movie for sound: Saving Private Ryan
(All the movies are available in the best sound format, DTS)

And, if I had to pick some DD DVD's
Harry Potter: The Philospher's Stone
Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets
Star Wars: Phantom Menace
Terminator 3
Matrix: Reloaded
And my #1 Dolby Digital movie: Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones
(I have to give credit to Warner Brothers, they don't give DTS DVD, but they sure can make a DVD sound great with Dolby Digital)

That covers most of the demos and I'll add that the DTS version of The Haunting is great as well even if the movie blows.

I am very fond of my Texas Chainsaw Massacre R2. Maybe it is just a perfect fit for my speakers, but the sound always makes it sound like it is all going on right the hell in my living room.

Gladiator also sounds particularly great.

Star Wars Episode 1
Star Wars Episode 2
Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers EE's
DareDevil
Open Range
Matrix and Matrix Reloaded
Tears of the Sun
T3
World is Not Enough
Pearl Harbor

Add U-571 to the list.

Wanted: Good DVD's with incredible audio tracks...
 

What DVD's have really stellar audio tracks whether it be DTS or 5.1 Dolby?

One that you might use to show off the audio capabilities of your system and also....a DVD with a movie that is good, but is made better simply by such an overwhelmingly fantastic audio track.

I like big bang for buck and want to see if I am missing some...one example that I thought of in my collection was "Daredevil". I know it got panned, but I thought it was a pretty good movie and the sound just blew me away.

Any others?? Thanks for help.

Terminator 3 is currently the disc I use to demo my home theatre system.

Avalon R3 Korean set is simply the best sounding dvd I have ever heard, in DTS 6.1. Hulk R3 DTS is also fantastic.

Das Boot superbit sounds incredible in DTS!

This movie may not fit in with the rest of the action/adventure types that others have listed, but I was in a store the other day and they were using "Drumline" to demonstrate a new Bose audio system. It sounded so realistic that people in the store were looking outside into the parking lot for a marching band. I've seen the movie and it was kind of lame and pretty predictable, but the performances were cool.

YES! Thank you. I'm glad to see someone else knows this dvd exists. One of, if not THE BEST demo disc for surround sound.
I think just about everything else I could think of was mentioned too, except I don't think The Haunting (Dts-Es) was mentioned. Some of the VERY best IMHO are...
Super Speedway
Chicken Run
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
Jurassic Park
U-571
The Haunting
LOTR: FOTR EE
LOTR: TTT EE
Star Wars: Ep.1
Star Wars: Ep.2
Fifth Element: Superbit
Black Hawk Down: Superbit (R3)

Definitely agree with T3 in R3. The DTS track kicks ass.

If you're not looking for a make-you-deaf experience, A Tale of Two Sisters and PTU have two of the best DTS tracks I've heard, especially A Tale of Two Sisters. These are two movies where you definitely miss out big time if you don't have a surround system.

I also remember the Minority Report track being pretty sweet.

Bang for buck? The American Godzilla movie can be had for $5.50 in the Wally World bargain bin.

Okay, they're not movies but here are a few music discs that have outstanding sound:

Criterion's Beastie Boys Video Anthology has kickin' sound... as in it will get you kicked out of your apartment at high volume :)

Hearing The Beatles remixed in 5.1 almost brought a tear to my ears. Give The Beatles Anthology a spin.

The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over has a great sound field. You feel like you're in the 3rd row.

All that they said are awesome. I personally think the pod race sequence in SW Episode 1 really rocks along with the Lobby scene from the Matrix. (these two scenes always get ooohs and aaahs from visitors.) I'll add a couple I haven't noticed anyone posting.

Fight Club
Pitch Black
The Mask of Zorro

Merged threads.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Has awsome DTS.
