Best DVDs to show off sound system? Usually it's an action movie. Saving Private Ryan. T2. Apocalypse Now/Redux.
But for me, hands down it's now the Band of Brothers 6-DVD set. I'm only to part 5, but part 2 (on disc 1) might be the best sound editing I've ever heard. I wasn't too sure about picking this one up until I found it for $48 (list $120). (The price has gone up to $56.85 here, but that's still an incredible bargain, considering everywhere else has it for $35-$40 more than that.) Anyways... what are your favorite DVDs to show off your sound system? | |

surprised i didn't think of the phantom menace... | |

surprised i didn't think of the phantom menace... Yeah, ATOC did put my sound system to the test. other honorable mentions are Amadeus, Fantasia 2000, Saving Pvt. Ryan (DTS), Lord of the Rings, T2, Se7en (very nice 6.1 mix), oh, and Toy Story 1 and 2 sound surprisingly good. Roy Orbison: A Black and White Night is the cleanest, best sounding concert DVD I've ever heard. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

Gone in 60 Seconds and Fast and the Furious are both good.

excellent commentary & bonus features... probably the most often watched dvd in my collection. (though not my favorite movie of all time.) | |
