I can not believe no one has suggested the Police Academy marathon....no no i think you could do better than that. 
My vote for Band of Brothers, or depending on how long you have could do a Quentin Tarantino marathon:
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
From Dusk Till Dawn
True Romance
Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2
I just finished watching Kill Bill again on the weekend and i must say those are two outrageously funny, uniquely written movies that don't get a lot of respect. Plus in the 1st one, there was a great surround sound moment. I can't remember exactly when, but a fly started buzzing around, overhead and back again. Really lifelike.

a couple of weekends ago. Great stuff. I agree with you on all of your assessments regarding this movie.
My 2cents:
(1)Pirates of the Caribbean.
(2)Master and Commander.
(3)The Count of Monte Cristo.(2002)

It would be a shame to restrict your movie marathons to only films that show off your system. There are so many great movies out there.

There were licensing issues surrounding Evil Dead 1 and 2 for about 12 years. I got lucky and got it on VHS before it became unavailable. AoD was less of an issue because Sam and Bruce had enough money to make it that they did not have to let some yahoo who cared more about money than fans finance it.
Oh, and Sam and Bruce are allowing a remake of Evil Dead, though neither will be in the film nor direct it. Not sure how much I'll want to see that.
Yes, I am a fan...

Yeah, but Randy is looking for something to watch on his newly-completed system. And we all know that when a system is new, the icing is more important than the cake!

Yeah, what Mark said. I was merely suggesting a seagoing, action/adventure combination of movies to watch.
