    I keep hearing about Master and Commander; Im gonna have to rent that. I am a Crowe fan and enjoyed the environmental creations of "Pirates of the Carribean," so I'll have to rent Master and Commander and run its DTS track...

    but man is it boring. I mean this one is a sleeper. When you rent it just make sure you turn it up extra loud so maybe you won't nod off. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

    Hmmm - this is an excellent topic! Okey dokey - heres my list:
    1. Tomorrow Never Dies (007)
    2. The 5th Element (an oldie, but a goodie)
    3. Star Trek (Nemesis)
    4. The Lord of The Rings (all of them)
    5. Braveheart
    6. Saving Private Ryan
    7. Band of Brothers
    8. Gladiator
    9. Spiderman
    10. The Others
    This list is not in a ranking order - but rather films where the surround is great (The Haunting is incredible too) Damn this is a great topic!

    I highly second Black Hawk Down. It won the academy award for sound. Many of the other above mentioned choices are excellent as well.

    God damn, Cam, you were right.....I was in Vegas for the past six days for my uncle's funeral, and I rented Master and Commander one night I was alone at my parents house; I ran the DTS track through my parents' surround system and while the track seemed hot, the film was just sooooo boring....my god....this was such an un-Crowe like performance; I mean, he was okay in Proof Of Life, good in Beautiful Mind and awesome in Gladiator....and now this....this was just a bad film.

    My faves for HT:
    • Matrix Trilogy (3rd is the best)
    • Star Wars Ep I & 2
    • Terminator 2 & 3
    • Gladiator (sound depths in coliseum scenes are amazing)
    • The Lord of The Rings (all 3 are amazing, but I and & II openings are the best for quick wow)
    • We Were Soldiers
