Those are all some very good suggestions and eventually I'm sure I'll end up watching them all, thx guys!

HEAT...the gunfight at the bank is awesome in the theatre.

or Pulp Fiction or From Dusk Till Dawn.

Jarmusch · 08-21-2006, 10:10 AM

Another vote for the Fifth Element.

Donny · 08-21-2006, 10:18 AM

Another vote for Barney.

(Can I second my own recommendation?)

Za Ha · 08-21-2006, 10:19 AM

I broke mine in with Gladiator, followed by Finding Nemo

Juilan · 08-21-2006, 10:29 AM

Fifth Element
Xmen2
Underworld
V is For Vendetta

VS_Eddie · 08-21-2006, 11:43 AM

I'd have to say Star Wars Return of the Jedi, War of the Worlds, or Jurassic Park.

SxDx · 08-21-2006, 12:39 PM

Brianna Loves Jenna. no doubt

nAtuRaLbEautY · 08-21-2006, 07:56 PM

At this rate it's obvious that there will have to be several premiere party gatherings... Sweeeeeeet!

HEAT gets my vote for the exact same reason. Possibly the best gunfight caught on film.

And you really can't go wrong with a movie that stars Al P. and Bobby D.

ungratefulninja · 08-21-2006, 09:50 PM

When I first started showing off my new system I would usually break out the big gun fight in the Matrix and the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. I also had a home theatre setup disc which had a THX demo. The opening to Lord of the Rings wasn't bad. Since then I've moved and haven't properly setup my system again.

IWantU_Jeff · 08-21-2006, 09:55 PM

you GOTTA go with TopGun or Scareface!!!

The Fifth Element is still one of the best movies to test ANY home theater with, both visually and auditory wise. It?s stunning all the way through? anyone who recommends anything else to break in a home theater system is a fucking communist.

I second that. Ask any home theater shop, they'll say Fifth Element. Plus Jovovich naked, what more do you want??? ;-)

sicone · 08-21-2006, 10:46 PM

I got a lot of dvd's... i'll bring some in for you

When I'm showing off my 43" Pioneer Plasma, B&K receiver, Denon 2910 DVD Player, Vienna Accoustic speakers, and Carver "true sub" subwoofer (shakes the entire neighborhood) I put in the following:

Air Force One - Scene where they dispatch the fighters to intercept Air Force One. When the fighters circle Air Force One the sound of the jets moves from left to right in the surrounds. Deafening.

Gladiator - Opening Battle Scene

Blade - Opening scene in the warehouse where the vamps are partying and decide the feast on the loser "human". Then Blade comes in and kicks some ass.

Castaway - the airplane crash scene - you won't fly again.

Up In Smoke Concert (live in Boston) - (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Xzibit, Snoop Dogg) - The best hip-hop DVD concert of all time and one of the best concert DVDs out there.

Norah Jones live at the House of Blues -

TTiger · 08-22-2006, 02:23 AM

Pearl Harbor

OneWhoKnows · 08-22-2006, 03:12 AM

Lord Of The Rings - Return of the King definitely. Or all 3 parts in a row, that would be the best anywayz

Ok, and if you don't like LOR, my vote for Gladiator!

iDope · 08-22-2006, 03:13 AM

U-571. If your HT system is any good you will feel you are under water.

iDope · 08-22-2006, 03:26 AM

Also get one of the new pink floyd DTS Audio CDs/DVDs. They are AWESOME.
