This is what i was slowly realizing was happening re. the difference between "C" weighting and "Flat".
the "C" weighting did not seem to be very realistic comparing SPL levels on the meter and what my ears were hearing, so for a few days now i've been watching movies with the meter set to "Flat", and it just seems "right" to me.

thanks a lot for the explanations, everyone.
