Best Movie/Scene to Test My New Speakers?

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Hollow Man2
V for Vandetta
The Cave

All these three not only test the frequency response, but bass detail as well.

T3, how could you forget to add The Cave will also test your mental ability to withstand one of the dumbest movies ever! i thought you hated it?

i'd also add True Lies - the harrier attacking the trucks/bridge scene.
The Abyss - the first alien encounter where it goes spinning around her.
Revenge of the Sith - that opening space battle scene, has tremendous bass in it too.

I keep seeing the teaser preview for The Transformers at the movie theater. Man, that movie's gonna be tits! No... seriously, hate on Michael Bay if you must, but I'm gonna see that. July 4, 2007, I can't wait.

But, back on topic... I actually like movies with music performance as another way to give speakers a work out. Three of my faves:

Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Almost Famous
Walk the Line

All three use music to set tone and tell the story. Its a different kind of immersion the sound effects.

I did hate it, but let's face it, the soundtrack was absolutely stunning and filled with fine detail from the bottom to the top. The visuals were also very good. It just amazes me how many movies are technically flawless, but story line and acting is flawed to the hilt. What's up with that??

I would suggest "Cast Away". With no background music whatsoever, you can really concentrate on the sound of the ocean. Very peaceful and calm. If you really strain, I bet you can hear the sand crabs scurry over the beach.

yes, absolutely attrocious movie, but that underwater photography sequence is better than anything short of the brown's surfing docs. beautiful shots. its prime material for an MST3000 voice over.

I saw The Cave on cable not too long ago and I thought it was OK

Predictable, bad acting and all that stuff going on, but I think it could make it into my pull off the shelve once a year collection. Man, I'm just a sucka for monster flics.

you should check out The Descent. (by the guy who did Dog Soldiers) it is FAR better than the cave. i reviewed it earlier. fun movie.

Thanks Kam. I wonder if it's at Bbuster. I'm not a member of any rental clubs, but may join netflix or something since BB never has any titles I wanna see.
