Forgot about Independence Day. That'll give your surrounds a workout.

Alan, you were right (as always!). I rented The Bourne Identity. I have never heard a movie that utilized the surrounds so much. There were a few scenes that were amazing and throughout the movie there were subtle sounds coming from the surrounds. I now see why you recommend that movie a lot.

Thanks, John

Savin Private Ryan (DTS edition) and Underworld(not possibly the best use of surrounds but a definite wow factor if your system can handle it at loud'ish volumes)

I realize it's a little late to add this, but if anyone needs a recommendation for the future, try Open Range - the new Kevin Costner flick. We rented it on the weekend and it has some fantastic scenes where the rain is pouring down and makes very good use of the surrounds. The big shootout at the end doesn't hurt either. No comments on the plot quality of the movie though!

Thanks. Although the weekend has passed, for some reason I find myself wanting to watch movies a lot more than I used to!

I'm always interested in adding to my "want list" of movies and I think others will also benefit.
