Blade Runner 2049 and Gravity take top Atmos billing. I would assume Gravity will be out on UHD Blu-ray sometime soon with the same Atmos track as the now out-of-print Diamond Luxe Blu-ray.

The Fifth Element and the original Blade Runner are good too as far as remixes go.

Fury is very good.

It sounds like Season 2 of West World might be pretty active given the recent industry article on its audio track.

Some are saying Ready Player One has an active Atmos track.

I would suggest that you put your overhead speakers in the Top Middle position rather than towards the front of the room when doing a 5.1.2 configuration for a better overhead sensation. If you cannot do on or in ceiling overheads, the next best thing to do would be side wall heights near the ceiling aimed toward the main listening position also in the same Top Middle locations just slid to the side walls with the receiver set to Top Middle not Front Height.

However, unless the receiver is already purchased and cannot be returned, I would try for at least 5.1.4 as you will then get much better overhead effect movement.
