Band of Brothers has a awesome audio track

lotrswhouse1886 · 01-15-2009, 05:50 PM

It depends on who I'm showing it to, but I use The Dark Knight for the most part. Hellboy II: The Golden Army is another one I like to show off.

PStronge · 01-15-2009, 05:51 PM

although it's a 7.1 track I played on my 5.1 system, I thought The Golden Compass had tremendous audio

paperthrower2000 · 01-15-2009, 06:28 PM

I can vibrate my walls with the Independence Day explosions.

Great Thanks, What About Those Dts Or Dolby Demo Blu Rays

yeah, just start episode 2 and see what happens to your surround sound system.

i did it last night with a friend over.

he started to shake, then ran out of the living room. he watched the rest from the front yard through the living room window. he said the volume was great outside. ...and that my soffet on the roof was vibrating

I can vibrate my walls with dialog if I want to.... doesn't mean it's the best sound!

I like Master and Commander, and also Ratatoulli for audio...

BUBBASAX420 · 01-15-2009, 08:36 PM

I WATCHED MIRRORS THE OTHER NIGHT AND THAT MOVIE IN MY OPINION WAS INSANE WITH THE AQ IT ENGULFED MY ENTIRE HT, EVERY SOUND I COULD HEAR AS IF I WAS THERE, FROM RUNNING WATER BEHIND ME TO WALL SHAKING BASS TO THE MOST REALISTIC SOUNDS OF GLASS BREAKING THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING. ( THE PQ SUCKED )

not a movie, but dave matthews and tim reynolds live is amazing on blu! also helps if youre a dave fan.

AgentBLU · 01-16-2009, 01:20 AM

I am going to have to say Band of Brothers is one of the best sounding Blu-rays I have seen.

dwaynecheroke · 01-17-2009, 12:55 PM

No one has mentioned Top Gun

JasonR · 01-18-2009, 03:33 AM

The Plavalaguna opera/Leeloo fight scene in The 5th Element is pretty frickin' amazing!

derelicte · 01-19-2009, 08:32 PM

What's your favorite surround sound moment? I know proper surround sound should "envelope" you with sound and be somewhat invisible ambience - and I get that and appreciate it. But every now and again it's just plain fun to whip your head around and either say "what the f*** was that?!" or "hehe, that was cool".
My first experience with this was seeing Eraser in the theatre - when the villains are sneaking up on the house, a dog barks in the neighbourhood and I turned around wondering who would bring their dog to a movie! From that point on I was hooked

My current fav is from The Dark Knight when the Joker is firing the automatic gun at the armored car - the camera switches to inside the car and you hear the bullet impacts walk around the front speakers to the back speakers.

The other old(er) school favorite is the rooftop shootout in The Matrix - slo-mo whizzing bullet goodness, that is...

Thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions?

PS - I tried searching for this topic and couldn't find it (or something similar)
PPS - I know there's a topic about favorite sounds (deep bass, tinkling highs, etc) - I'm more curious about surround stuff for this thread...

As I just watched it Friday...

Twister has some amazing surround sound moments. The opening credits is enough to get you sucked in. Pun intended.

Twankies08 · 01-19-2009, 08:36 PM

My personal favorite is during Transformers when the
Autobots arrive to Earth!!!!

paperthrower2000 · 01-19-2009, 08:44 PM

one moment I will never forget , I was watching Mr Brooks one night and a gunshoot came clear as crystal about 3/4 of the way through the movie .I actually looked around to see my wife took at shot at me or my system.
