ooo, so many to choose from ...

No particular order, but DTS enabled discs get bonus marks ...

Terminator 2
U571
Sixth Sense
Thin Red Line
Saving Private Ryan
Blade Runner
Apocalypse Now
Star Trek - First Contact
The Matrix
Fight Club
Mission : Impossible II

Special mentions to Clerks - which is a fantastic low budget pic, and Iron Monkey , which has fight sequences equal to Crouching Tiger ...

Traffic / Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon / Ferris Buellers day off ( thanks DreamWeaver for the reminder ) and 2001 - are all on order.

SteveM

I get all mine from

Saw Sixth Sense last night - top film, little kid actor in it is great.

Also forgot to say Breakfast at Tiffany's is a true classic.

Glen Cary Glenn Ross (sp?).
