Best Sound from a Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

I just upgraded my home theater stuff to 7.2 channel audio... Can anyone recommend some good movies to utilize all 7.2 channels?

mrbarker · 12-12-2007, 06:45 PM

Considering how long I've had to wait, since it was pushed back, I'll tell ya one that better knock my goddamn socks off, is Master and Commander. The DVD SE is really really good.

EDIT: DOH! it's only 5.1 (but lossless, at least)

hairspray is 7.1

Black Hawk Down has excellent sound design, and should take full advantage of your setup given a quality receiver.

Close Encounters, the bass is unreal. Especially in the final scene with the Mother Ship. Nine Inch Nails is another one, any Pirates movie, Cars, etc. I could go on and on.

I thought Night at the Museum and Fifth Element were good

kiskiboy97 · 12-12-2007, 08:43 PM

Casino Royale and Spider-Man 3 are two of the best. I also second Black Hawk Down.

I agree. It's funny the first few times and I owned the DVD, but when the BD version came out I passed. I can't believe it has 7.1 sound. What a waste. Lol.
