favorite show-off disc....

I'm curious...what's everyone's fav demo disc to make your friends drool?? ;)

I'd have to go with

Brotherhood of the Wolf 3 disc Canadian Edition dts (the opening fight in the rain)

-or-

U2: Go Home-Live at Slane Castle...nothing sounds sweeter than "New Year's Day" in dts.

There are TONS more, but these 2 are my personal favs.

"Final Fantasy"

"Bourne Identity" (either edition)

"Indiana Jones Trilogy"

"Terminator 3"

wow, that was quick...I just posted this like 3 minutes ago!! Thanks for sharing post-man :)

What scene from Bourne Identity? It wouldn't happen to be the Mini chase would it? That's a kick-a$$ song to play while chasing!

actually, i like watching the showdown between damon and owen. the chase in "bourne 2" is better than the chase in "bourne 1", IMO. hopefully, the video and audio transfers on the "bourne 2" dvd will be excellent.

ok, i remember that scene...in the tall grass/big open field, right?

I was kinda annoyed when I saw that the Bourne Supremacy will not be carrying a DTS track. The first one's soundtrack is excellent, and I was hoping for a repeat experience....but alas, no such luck!

BTW...have you seen Owen in the BMW films?? And he's driving a Bimmer in Bourne too. Pretty funny.

I reviewed the BMW disc, actually.

Finding Nemo on a hi-def set is utterly amazing.

Blade 2 - the opening sequences where Blade is owning multiple vamps looks quite well.

Hellboy looks phenomenal

X2/Spiderman

Bedazzled - John himself gave the audio/video on this one a 10.

The Matrix is a given

Starship Troopers

Fast and the Furious

The Fifth Element - Superbit

Believe it or not Bad Boys ll is really cool to show off your system. The car chase, gunfight scene early in the movie. Also" Master and Commander" is impressive. The scene where the ship is being attack in the fog is worth the price of the disc. I agree with T3 and also U-571 is cool. (Although the staff critic doesn't like the movie) it's very impressive sounding. And also Mission Impossible 2 has some typical action scenes that sound good as well. Musiccoop

Someone asked for this thread...musiccoop?? Here ya go!!

'The Lost World - Jurrasic Park' on DTS sound. OOOuuuucchhh thats good!

or

Helm's Deep Scene on The Two Towers EE DVD

or even

Fighting Scenes on the Rundown

Yes, The Rundown was gorgeous due to the lush and bright jungle environment.

Carl4520,

I hope you're joking. If "Black Knight" is a favorite "demo" disc, you might want to consider a hobby other than home theater. ;)

roquefilms is right! As odd as this may sound, the "enhanced" version of "The Lion King" rocks! I watched this version just to see why Disney put the track on there. It's really impressive! You get better surround dispersion, and more "thump" with the elephants walking past the screen in the opening scenes. Way to go Disney!

Actually 'The Lion King - Platinum Edition' is AWESOME when you play it on 'Disney's Enhanced Theater Mix'

I think White Men Can't Jump also qualifies.

Easily one of Fox's best releases as far as visuals on one of their dvds go. Sunny LA never looked so good.

I'm definitely a Saving Private Ryan/U-571 demo disc guy. The Space Crystals scene in Titan A.E. is pretty killer as are most of the portions of Band of Brothers. Man, those battle DVDs are the greatest for sound! Think about it: Gladiator battle scenes, LOTR battle scenes, The Thin Red Line battle scenes. Gotta love aural assault!

I still think that the Lobby Scene in the Matrix is a great example as well. It's one of the first demo scenes that I ever had, and I feel it holds up pretty darn well today!

Sean (holds up well...unlike my sanity!...):D

I saw "Hellboy" the other day and it was better than I tought it would be . The review from DVD Town was right on the money. It might not be a show off disc but the sound is great and I bet on a HD TV it looks great as well. I also agree with Jurassic Park (DTS)! Musiccoop

when i play my black knight in 5.1 its utterly breathtaking

Speaking of Disney- Just saw the new version of Aladdin and the sound is quite impressive as well colorful pictures. My excuse to get it was when we have grandchildren ( it's a ways off) they'll have something great to see! Will probably get Mulan when it comes out as well. Since both my son and I are into martial arts that will be my next excuse! Musiccoop

i thought aladdin looked 30 times better when they redrew some of the scenes. It got rid of the tacky-ness that I felt it used to have.

Show off disc? John's is "Showgirls". :D

:o John! For shame!! ;)

:p hahahahahaha

(yes, this post is meaningless)

Army Of Darkness (BoomStick Edition)
