Can someone give me a list of DVD's that have a lot of surround effects. I am having a problem trying to get the correct surround effects I've calibrated all the speakers but the surrounds just seem to sound weak when playing in DTS or DD when playing in 7.1 all is fine I'm running a Denon 3803 and a Denon 2900 DVD player. Any help would be appreciated.

if the surrounds sound weak, then just go into your receiver menu, and boost their volume by a few dbs.. thats what i have done for my center channel.
but, to answer your question, you just want dvd's with good use of surrounds.
the incredibles
the 2nd harry potter movie(not sure of its actual title)
the opening rain scene from 'open range'
all of the 'lord of the rings' movies
underworld
thats a few i can think of with really great surround effects. i am sure you will get a few more suggestions.

Big John,
I've boosted the surrounds and then when I listen to 7.1 the surrounds over power the fronts. The problem is only in DTS and DD there must be a way to just boost the DTS and DD single when playing just those formats.

Resident Evil - Apocalypse (Resident Evil 2)
This movie has awesome sounds effects. The church scene has the critters running around on the walls and you will hear the sounds do circles around you.

Master & Commander: the scenes in the Captain's quarters; you can usually hear the ship creaking, or someone on the upper deck walking. Pretty cool.
