Just saw another good one couple nights ago --> Chicken Little. The sky crack-opening sound on QS8s above my head sounded like the alien spaceships just crack-opened my attic !

If you're trying to impress someone who may have a typical WAF situation, with more than one vewier to involve; then a good one would be "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"

I admit that I have yet to get my Axioms hooked up (HT finished in 5-6 weeks, hopefully), but on my living room 5:1 set-up, a great sequence was in
Monsters, Inc. - the chase scene on the doors.
Great surround - a lot of back and forth in the left and right surround - and LFE
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

I find the DTS track on 5th Element a very nicely balanced sound track with good surround effects. I finally got my system re-established this week after 2 months of wall repairs and paint, and got hooked listening to this movie for the ump-teenth time when I just intended to check system operation was back to normal.

King Kong is a very good disc. Its cool when kong breaths you can feel it, and all the little sounds all around you when they are in the jungle on the ship, or in the city. Its a great movie too! oh i totally forgot about the 5th Element. Good call on that one!

Just got done watching War of the Worlds. WoWWWW my 500 was a rocking my house off its foundation almost.  I had to turn the volume down as I was worried the drywall was going to start falling apart.
I was a bit disapointed by the ending, pretty lame.

We rented Episode I this weekend. Our local rental store has a deal where you can get a 'gallery' (older) DVD for free - 1 a day, so we've been having fun catching up.
One of the things that amazed me about this movie was how weird many of the scene transitions were. The graphical 'wipe' was odd enough, but with the surround sound it was really strange in places. Several times a ship would fly out and over your head, which was pretty cool. Then a second later the scene changed and the same ship was flying _back_ into the scene from a different direction. It felt odd because they didn't seem connected at all.
Oh well, it was fun to be able to listen anyway!
