Thanks, Papa D and Peter. I can't remember if those are the exact ones, but there is plenty there to keep me busy. One movie that I watched a while back was Knight Tales with Heath Ledger. I don't have a decent system yet but the jousting scenes where there was focus on those big horses they were riding - the noises the horses made seemed like it would sound great? At any rate, thanks again for digging those out.....Rob

For something a little different, I would suggest BBC's 'Planet Earth' series on Blu-ray. The photography is absolutely stunning - the sound is good as well, but this is really a showcase for a nice display.

I am reading through the thread that Peter forwarded. I keep wanting to respond - especially on the Band of Brothers part - and then I remember it all took place before Christmas.

Do you want to show off your subwoofer?
WAR OF THE WORLDS (new version)
One movie not enough, try the Dreamworks THE TIME MACHINE. You will love the sound of the time machine when it spools up.
Want to show off your Axiom's abilities to nail with fidelity the upper end of the frequency range? Try the intro music from THE ITALIAN JOB.
Want to tease the sonic nuances of a cannon ball whiffling through the fog? MASTER AND COMMANDER.
Looking for revealing? Again, MASTER AND COMMANDER. Your friends will be gobsmacked at the sound of the weavil's feet on the table cloth during the race scene.
I'll try to come up with some more for y'all.
Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

The opening scene from Casino Royale makes for a good demo.
Also the apartment shootout in Die Hard 4 when Bruce is rescuing "I'm a Mac" from his apartment.
War of the Worlds will make it back on my list if I can get a blu-ray with an even better mix.
