| | Posted: | | | | I just purchased a 7.1 surround sound system and am preparing for its arrival so am looking for a good first movie to watch on it to take full advantage of the surround sound. So, of the movies in my collection, preferebly a blu-ray with a 7.1 track if possible, which would be the best movie to take advantage of the surround.

| | Posted: | | | | would 6.1 sound give an equivalent great sound?? if so,, I believe the LOTR trilogy and Star Wars saga is encoded with Dolby Digital EX and/or 6.1 Channel Surround (digital discrete: DTS-ES) for LOTRings ..
edit: oops not on blu ray.. yet . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Have a look here, especially the reviews of the audio on disc. A list of Blu-ray audio formats as used on various releases is here. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Another very good recommendation can be found here | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure you have any Blu-rays with 7.1 sound. Only a few actually use this. |

| | Posted: | | | | I recommend The Incredible Hulk, one of the best sounding Blu-rays I've comes across... |

| | Posted: | | | | thanks for all the sites, I've skimmed the links but will need to go through them a bit more to decide what will be the first title i watch.
It looks like if I want to go 7.1 It'll have to be Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty or 3:10 to Yuma so I'll probably just go for something with 6.1 or 5.1.
I'd like to test it out\break it in with a movie that takes good advantage of the surround channels and the sub. I figure the audio quality will probably be better if I watch one of my Blu-rays (of which I unfortunatly don't really have all that many), but am considering going with a dvd if it would take better advantage of the surround and sub.

-Agrare Didn't know that those old Disney flicks were recorded in 7.1 on Blu Ray?/.. Those audio tracks might be spruced up,, but to 7.1?? If you are going to go with 6.1 or 5.1 try those Digital EX titles I suggested earlier, you won't go wrong with 'action adventure' movies that have Academy Awards under their belt for Best Sound . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.
