I've been building my basement HT for almost 2 years now and I honestly haven't spent any time deciding what will be the very first movie I play. I'm torn between watching something I know will be great vs something I haven't watched (at home) yet.

I'm pretty partial to The Matrix series. War of the Worlds has some amazing LFE. Star Wars 4-6 are awesome thou 1-3 have better effects. I've been holding off watching these at home until the basement HT is completed:

Iron Man 2
Thor
Harry Potter 7 & 8 (haven't seen these at all yet)
Avatar
Transformers 3

It's probably going to be a long time until I watch something like Invictus (non action) again.
