Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Top 10 must have DVD's

I know that there has been post about dvd's but I would like to hear again about which dvd's you all think are have the best soundtracks/LFE's.

Where are the best places oline to order them from?
Thanks

That's a broad question but I will list which 10 DVD's I use regularly to test LFE/surround effects.

1. WOTW -- tripod rising
2. Master and Commander-- battle with the French frigate
3. I Robot-- You are experiencing an accident
4. The Incredibles -- kid against the saucers
5. Pearl Harbour-- Zeros approching
6. House of Flying Daggers-- drum and beans scene/bamboo forest
7. Open Range-- shootout with shotguns
8. SW: Attack of the Clones-- pod race
9 Flight of the Phoenix-- Crash in the desert
10. Jurassic Park-- Tyranasaurus Rex

SW: Attack of the Clones-- pod race

I can't believe I just read that!

I don't have a "top 10" but when I demo, I typically use one of the SW DVD's or a new release. The last demo I did, I used War of the Worlds and Serenity. Both are good flicks with excellent mixes.

Yeah, but EVERYONE uses the Pod Race as a demo, or has in the past anyway. I honestly get tired of seeing (or hearing) it. And I LIKE Star Wars. I like it so much that I refuse to buy the DVDs! Let me explain... I am waiting for all 6 episodes to come in one boxed high-def (blu-ray or hd-dvd) set in 3 years (or whatever)... I figure it will cost me an arm and a leg, but I only want to get it when the picture quality doesn't have to be compressed as much as a standard DVD.

I figure that I've waited this long, I might as well wait a couple more years to get a GREAT copy...

But now I've hijacked this thread... Sorry.

Hmmm...That should have been Phantom Menace not Attack of the Clones. Great sound effects from those pods as they race around the room with deep rumbling bass. I recently rewatched the entire 6 movies with my young daughter and they are starting to blend together probably just like George Lucas wanted.

LOL! I'm waiting for EXACTLY the same thing. I'm figuring within two years on Blu-Ray.
