Saving Private Ryan
Armageddon


Those two come my mind immediately. Maybe Star Wars or Star Trek and that type of stuff as well.

Hope that helps!

Any of the Star Wars movies.

APOCALYPSE NOW!!


If you've never seen this, you have to watch the chopper attack with FULL surround sound. Just put this on and get ready to go into another mental state. My favorite scene in the history of cinema.

"Charlie don't surf!"

Runner up: Heat, esp the downtown gunfight.

any Star Wars
Saving Private Ryan
The Matrix
Fight Club
Lord of the Rings

[Gian-Sergio]

RAGING BULL

[markuskorpela]

Black Hawk Down

[Spacey_Norton21]

No one mentioned my fav movie to watch on Surround Sound!!

Fight Club? The Matrix? C'mon Schmoes... It's totally

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Perfect film for Surround. Utterly perfect.

Yeah, I'd put T2 down too. God, I fuckin love James Cameron.

aliens
alien3

Any of the Star Wars movies would be excellent with surround sound.

[evildeadman]

Jurrasic Park(any really but especially the first 1)
Godzilla(the one with Matthew Broderick in it.)
Volcano

Both the T rex and Godzilla's first appearance as well as in Volcano where the tar pits explode prior to the lava flow are all scenes that'll rattle yer windows..if not break them,and sound awesome in surround sound..

Led Zeppelin two disc concert DVD

[JCPhoenix]

Master & Commander

One of the best sound mixes I've ever heard for any film. The surround on this thing is incredible.

[Digifruitella]

I recall Zemeckis' CONTACT having badass last 30 minutes, as well as throughout.

[jord2006]

although the movie is not great, the DTS on the new War of The Worlds is excellent

I totally agree!

A few others are:
Transformers
Saving Private Ryan
Robocop
The Fast and the Furious(the 4way drag race and the Charger vs Supra race at the end)
Serenity

..I'll name more when I can remember them!

[The Postmaster General]

Robocop
Was comin' to post that very one. Ed-209 scenes are great.

Been seeing movies with surround sound for well over five years now, so this thing became standard for me making it hard to be blown away by anything anymore. But Saving Private Ryan definitely stands out from the crowd. King Kong is also awesome in this regard.
