Best Movie to Watch in Your Home Theatre

[Guest Wisdom]

I am looking for Dolby Digital flciks. I already know DTS movies sound 150% better, but for DD, which movies sound REALLY good?

for pure sound, you can't go wrong with Star Wars flicks...whenever I need to tweak my system, I always use those to judge sound quality.

[BlackFlagg 0]

T2 would probably be good as well

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

Black Hawk Down. Just awesome.

[Mole 0]

Seabiscuit.

[Damaramu 0]

Porn. The moans and squeals sound real.

I always test my setting by playing the Death Star explosion from A New Hope.

I've always liked "Behind Enemy Lines." The scene where the jet fighter gets shot down by the heat seaking missile is pretty amazing.

I like to tinker around with the various scores, laser blasts and lightsaber hums and clash effects...perfect scene for tweaking your system is the Jinn/Kenobi vs. Darth Maul scene with "Duel Of The Fates" blasting in the background...come to think of it, "Battle Of The Heroes" and the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel may be better, I'll have to try that.

You could always see DIE HARD or PREDATOR.

I just got my HTS and I've noticed how good T3 is.

 

Any other suggestions?

[Ravenbomb 0]

Episodes of Lost are good. The jungle scenes especially

[Mole 0]

Hmm, I didn't even think of that.

 

Thanks.

 

I can't blast it because my Landlord doesn't like loud shit (I live right above her) so I'll have to wait until she leaves for tomorrow.

Anything Vaudeville.

[Guest Askewniverse]

Batman Begins

The Incredibles

Saving Private Ryan

Star Wars prequels (especially Jango Fett unleashing the seismic charges in AOTC)

 

If you have DTS:

Gladiator - Signature Selection

Master and Commander

Terminator 2 - Ultimate Edition

X2: X-Men United

I know my system has DTS because it says so in the manual, but I am not sure how to turn it on or whatever. Unless when you insert a DVD with DTS, it turns on automatically.

So my HTS "specs" don't have Dolby Digital, but Dolby Digital Pro Logic II.

 

What is the difference?

If you don't care about the quality of the movie, then Armageddon.

Gone in 60 Seconds. The Eleanor chase scene will give your bass levels a good workout.

[DMann2003 0]

Master and Commander

 

I kid you not this film is the standard for soundsystems

 

Also, any Harry Potter films, the Quidditch scenes are fun for surround

[C Dubya 04 0]

Days of Thunder.

[razazteca 0]

Organzmo

[NoCalMike 0]

Die Hard Trilogy

Indiana Jones Trilogy

Star Wars (all of them)

Robocop

Terminator 2 & 3

 

DTS:

Seven

Big Trouble In Little China

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Master and Commander

I was about to say the same thing when I saw the title of this thread.

If you have a DTS system, it just means that the system is capable of playing a DTS track. There isn't a way to just "turn on" DTS without a DVD, because a DTS track is on the DVD itself.

 

Most DTS-capable systems automatically detect it and turn it on. If you have a DVD with DTS and for whatever reason, your system doesn't detect it, you can turn it on manually. Just go to main menu of the DVD, go into Languages/Sound/Setup, and select the DTS track.

You should all watch this anyway, stereo testing or not.
