Just thought it would be fun to ask you guys about any particular movies/scenes you consider excellent all around bass demos. Obviously War of the Worlds is one of my favorites for low, loud, and relentless bass.

- Green Room Scne 27 1:11:40

Antz - Terror from above Scene 17 51:48

- Space Truckin Scene 33 1:55:56

Dark City - Let the tuning commence Scene 8 34:30
- City make over Scene 15 1:27:45


My recommendations are:

Saving Nemo - Darla Tap Scene
- Submarine fall/hits ground

Lord of the Rings - FOTR very begining fight scene upto finger hits ground. Lots of other good momments in the entire trilogy.

Any Star Wars movie series pick virtually any explosion.

U571 - Depth charge scene

Pulse - heart beating very low LFE

Eagles - Farewell Tour Live from Melbourne - Very good bass throughout the DVD.

Iron Man - Exit out of Cave
- Just about any Fight scene

Incredible Hulk - Anytime he is the Hulk

Transformers - Last battle scene has one very exceptional piece of LFE

Forgot to add Kung Fu Panda Skidooosh scene

I think one of the new bass kings is the raid on the dragon mountain in How to Train Your Dragon.

Cloverfield and Iron Man 2.

Having recently watched the blu-ray version of The Sound of Music, there is some pipe organ music with good bass in the 2nd half of the movie during the wedding scene in the Catholic church.

AVS has a sticky in their sub forum which gives an extensive list of LFE from music to moveies. As for a current favorite I'd have to say Percey Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was excellent and IMO a great source for reference level viewing.

I highly recommend, Bill.... smile
