Best Surround Sound Movies?

[RobertELee]

So what are your favorite movies to get your surround sound thumping? So far my favorites would have to be ones like U571, saving private ryan, and pirates of the caribean.

[Surface Tension]

Top Gun

[Gissert]

Saving Private Ryan for sure. The first time O watched it in surround, is sounded like a tank was coming down the hallway.

[Spork]

The Star Wars movies are pretty good.

[rundrave]

Anyone seen the final gun battle scene in the movie Open Range?

The effect are amazing, I love the sound of every single gun shot.

[LaZyDayZ]

The Fifth Element is one of my favorites for sound.

Really fills a room with a good system.

[SledNeck]

BlackHawk Down

Master and Commander

Fast and the Furious

[setterguy]

ST, its funny that you say Top Gun. I think that movie made my dad spend over 1k on stereo equiptment. It sounds like your on the deck of the air craft carrier in his basement.

I would have to say black hawk down would be up there on my list.

[HaywardBound]

The Matrix is a good one.

[mnwild]

I agree with Spork, any Star Wars movie or any war movie.

Pearl Harbor was a good one also for sound.

[Spork]

Yeah, it's amazing how any decent surround sound system can really improve the overall experience of a movie.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Gone in 60 seconds. That was awesome.

[Kodiak]

wind talkers

Star Wars, Gone in 60 Seconds, Top Gun, Hunt for Red October.....lots of good ones out there. When we lived in our trailer home we had our surround sound hooked up, but now in the house, my wife doesn't want wires hanging along the ceiling or down the walls so it's been sitting in a box for nearly 5 years. Sure do miss it! Talked to an electrician about wiring through the walls, but it would be difficult and expensive. I think I just need to send her on a short vacation and have it set up by the time she gets back!

Yes! The shootout at the end is great. I crank it up and you would almost think you're being shot at with every pop of the revolver.

The best thing they did was not to play any music during that scene to cover up the crisp gunfire, glass breaking, horses, and echoes down main street.

[LMITOUT]

The last few minutes of Gone in 60 Seconds is a good one too with the rumble of Eleanor. What a car.

[setterguy]

I can't believe no one has said HEAT. That movie has the best gun fight scene in any movie.

[DARK30]

"On Golden Pond" ...Man youd need a seat belt in the easy chair I'm tellin ya!

[Jorgie]

One of my favorite movies of all time:

Die Hard

I just watched it to get in the Christmas spirit.

[PikeBayCommanche]

Lord of the Rings!!

[Hibbing]

The big battle scene from "Gladiator"!

[Capt.Blaine]

We Were Soldiers was good.

[Meaney]

Lord of the Rings..of course you would have to do the "Butt-Buster" by that I mean watching all three movies (extented versions) at one time (12 hours)!

These movies have an awesome soundtrack that is great listening to loud and in surround sound...

[Meaney]

The Lord of the Rings..is a trilogy movie

1.The Fellowship of the Ring

2. The Two Towers

3. The Return of the King

THANKS ELIAS- If you don't get it, rent Clerks II. JK BTW.

Scarface and Heat for gunfire and sound effects, Pulp Fiction for music, one of the best soundtracks of all time.
