Outstanding DVDs for Home Cinema

ApocalypseNow:redux

In my opinion Terminator 2 SE DTS Is probably the best, another superbit dvd. Commader and Far side of the world was pretty damn godo with the DTS track, although I werent to keen on the film. Gladiator rocks at the sstart when the catapults clinking back. Basically anything which has a DTS track is usually a good film with plenty of action. The studios have to pay a considerable amount to use the DTS encoder. But to be taotally honest, it all boils down to personal taste. I have tweaked my home system around my own tastes, e.g. i have the rear speakers slightly louder than factory defaults , center speak only handles the high range, so you get a broader depth of audio when peopl are speaking on screen, and the panning is mor realistic. Does your av allow for presets ? if it does, just make yourself a preset and fiddle, that way you wont intefer with mum/dads viewing pleasure. For more tips and educated reading WhatHiFi...

Heat - the gun battle outside the bank sounds fantastic!

Well agree with most here Also Master & Commander turn the volume up when that Canon ball rips down the deck of the ship mate you'll need the air freshner !!

Was going to say Saving Private Ryan too, but try something more orchestral - such as Last of The Mohicans. In fact, anything with an award winning soundtrack

Hiyas guys,

Today my copy of Kung Fu Hustle arrived thru the post, GREAT timing. I can watch this tomorrow but I saw some of it on cable and it looked great but that wasn't proper 5.1 surround sound.

I've not yet given things like LOTR a spin but that's on my todo list
