I think TV shows with a story are usually way better then most movies. Right now Stargate and Atlantis started back up and they are excelent shows. BattleStar Galactica is another, unfortunately since Sci-Fi channel is not in HDTV the quality of those sucks... downloading from the web the ones that air on the BBC are in HDTV and are excellent, esp BSG.
Alias was one of the very best sounding TV shows I know of, too bad it went downhill quality wise (story) in it's last season.
And no, I have no good movie recomendations... recently saw Munich which was excellent but it came out late last year. The few explosions in the film were pretty big LFE wise as well.
Also rented Jackie Chan's New Policy Story, excellent picture quality but the story wasn't anything special. Decent action for those that like these types of movies but nothing extrodinary.
