I have just ordered a new DVD player, AV Amp and Speakers. I now need some DVDs to show the system off the the other half -i.e. prove it wasn't a complete waste of money First up will be the obligatory Matrix... Then what ??

What are the best films for demonstrating full Dolby Digital or DTS suurond sound ?

Has anybody got the Gladiator DVD yet - What is the soundtrack like ?

Thanks

Depends on the sort of film you like. Gladiator with DTS is awesome.

Did you post that in stereo to show how impressive it was?

Neil Smalley

Yes. Stupid F'ing mouse. I've got one of those microsoft 4 button mice. Great for playing quake, crap if I hit the wrong mouse button.

On the whole DTS sounds a shed load clearer than DD 5:1. Did'nt think I'd be able to hear the difference as people said it was close. They were wrong

The "I know Kung Fu" scene from The Matrix should demonstrate the dialogue capabilities of your centre channel.
There is a DVD of Metallica in concert with an orchestra supporting them.
Now, I don't like metal but that had my foot tapping!
You might want to try True Lies as well.
And Daylight.

Bugs life, Tarzan, as niel said DTS Gladiator (not listened to DD version yet), Saving private ryan, and Ronin are all very sweet.

Is that the DTS CD or do they have a DVD out, if CD where did you get it from as im having real problems trying to track it down, also if any film collectors are out there do you have the film Electric dreams on iether LD or VHS and are wanting to sell it.

Get hold of JAWS, top film and features,
Got GLADIATOR but it's for chrimbo and the wife has hidden it ARMMAGEDON,RONIN, THE MUMMY, has anyone seen DETROIT ROCK CITY?
this is a minter of a film, I may be a little
biased being a KISS fan, but the soundtrack
is great and also mirrors my childhood, to a
certain extent.....

Anyone got the TriggerHappyTV DVD yet?

Howsabout the Zerg/Buzz intro sequence to Toy Story 2. Quite swoopy soundtrack and excellent at apocalyptic volumes! If you've got kids it'll keep them quiet for an hour or two into the bargain. I don't have kids and it shuts me up
The Matrix ooh yes.
Re: Camk's comments on Saving Private Ryan - I'll vouch for that. Just duck or those bullets will get you.

'Heat' is also the nuts, that shoot out scene had me ducking in my lounge.

Mr Cookie,

Have you got Alice Cooper's Latest - Brutal Planet. Top stuff.

Every1 else.

TS2 Keeps me happy aswell. How many films have they nicked bits from? And agree with the rest of the selections.
