Official Subwoofer Scenes Thread - Movie Scenes with that LFE you Love - Blu-ray Forum

JJ · 04-04-2009, 11:35 PM

I'm not just talking about boom and crash. I'm talking about scenes with detail and distinction - or maybe those with a non-stop barrage of double-digit Hertz-age that leaves your driver crying for help. And don't just include your Blu-rays, for DVDs have incredible definition down there as well.

Let's make a list of tones for everyone to know! My personal favorites:

Blu-rays:

-28 Weeks Later:
Bombing of London during Code Red

-Cloverfield:
No specific scene, but when its raining debris and you can feel each footstep of the monster

-Kung fu Panda:
Fight between Po and Tai-lung

-Master & Commander:
Opening Battle, and turning Cape Horn

-Transformers:
Ironhide Sweep

DVDs:

-SW Ep. I: Phantom Menace
Podracing

-War of the Worlds
The Storm/Tripod (might just be the best DVD sound I've heard as far as surround use/LFE/detail/definition all in one)

These are the scenes that make your subwoofer chuff, rattle, reverberate - (notice I said yours, not mine,

) - let's keep em coming!

probably because the movie is so forgetable (outside of the audio track!)

At the end of the original post in A Guide to Subwoofers I have included a couple of links for movies with good bass sound and links to a few tones to test subwoofers. It is worthwhile to check a few of those.

Hammie · 04-05-2009, 03:28 AM

It's not a movie, but Nine Inch Nails "Closer" has killer bass in it, especially if you have the DVD-A with 5.1 surround. WOW!!! It's the DualDisc version.

You do! It is a really good movie as well. I was pleasantly surprised on this blind buy.

Oh, and I agree on your mentioned scenes. I just didn't want to repost. Master and Commander is phenomenal and the Ironhide sweep is well....the Ironhide sweep.

Also!

Rambo IV - Do I need to mention which scene?

There does not seem to be any deep bass in Twister though. It is a good movie to see if your subs sound muddy or not though.

Big Daddy · 04-05-2009, 04:12 AM

JJ needs to get married. He won't be doing any slacking after that. The wife will nag him to death.

SDBlu · 04-05-2009, 05:33 AM

The Avalanche Scene in The Mummy-Tomb of the Dragon Emperor gets pretty low on the LFE.

And also a newly discovered "Bass Scene" on SpiderMan 3, when the SandMan first gets mutated in that Sand Chamber...pretty good bass!
