I am looking for demo material, not mainstream stuff!


I am looking for demo material other than the typical LOTR's, Star Wars, IJ, or Pixar.

I want a list of something different, some with bass for demo, some with good use of surrounds, what do you suggest?
I also like old movies that are remasterd to sound better than ever.

Here are a couple I really like right now.

1. Behind enemy Lines
2. Tron
3. English Patient
4. Desperado
5. Seven years in Tibet
6. Patton
7. Biker Boyz
8. Thin Red Line
9. Catch me if you can
10. Old Yellar
11. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea
12. West Side Story
13. Rambo 1,2, and 3.


I like show people somthing they have not seen in a long time, and are amazed to see what a good home theater and transfer can do.

Chris

Got my flame suit on but anyway here goes...


In the movie "The Saint" with Val Kilmer there is a part near the beginning with the main Russian guy giving a speach in a large hall when the Saint is sneaking into the building and as the camera perspective changes the use of the surrounds is amazing ..Hard to explain but I always considered it one of the best uses of surrounds I've heard that sticks with me.

Equilibrium - pick any fight scene



My DVDs

Homer: So, Mr. Malloy, it seems that the cat has been caught by the very person who was trying to catch him.
Skinner: How ironic.

The Eye. The violin practice/ exorcism intercut scene. Good use of surrounds.

The recent Panic Room SE. I know its pretty mainstream, but the surround track is amazing. The picture is muy delicioso as well.

Search and you shall find. This question pops up all to often.

Try Pirates of the Caribbean. Very nice DTS track.



Itīs nice to be important, but itīs more important to be nice.
