Best DVDs for Surround Sound Demo

[bacon333]

Just built my first home theater system and looking for movies that demonstrates good use of surround sound. So far I have Air Force One, 12 Monkeys, House of Flying Daggers (All DTS)

Any suggestions?

Heh ... the two I was going to say were already said before I could even get in this thread

As bad as this sounds, I will also add in The Fast and the Furious. It was one of the first DTS dvd's I ever tested and it sounded incredible.

Also Jurassic Park is a good one.

That's more of a sub test

I think the opening battle scene of Gladiator is the best.

 

[Dulanic]

Chapter 16 Behind Enemy Lines or maybe its 18, I think 16.

Gonna agree with this one. The opening scenes are awesome with the trailer spinning around and then the ricers revving their engines. Very good sound!

 

[ucdbiendog]

the first big battle in gladiator is pretty awesome. same with saving private ryan. must use DTS of course
