Which DVD movie has THE most bass ever? (1 Viewer)

Ok so the movie was a box office bomb but a guilty pleasure for me and the wife...'Cutthroat Island.' The AC3 LD bass kicks serious butt. I would think the DVD keeps it intact.

How in the world did everyone forget about the newer "Twister" DTS track? Talk about bass.

This has gone into Laserdisc territory and the ones mentioned truly produce seismic charges.

Since we're still talking laserdiscs, might I add that the PCM track of Goldeneye is just about as scary as the Dolby Digital track! Since Tim says that the dts was no slouch either, I guess we can declare Goldeneye as the bassiest laserdisc release all-around. Talk about over-cooked!

And as long as we're mentioning PCM tracks that push the limits of bass, we would be remiss if we did not include the Criterion Collection disc of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

P.S. If I do say so myself, I find the AC-3 track on the Twister laserdisc to be superior to anything found on both DVD releases. I think it has something to do with Warner never providing 2.0 tracks and always crippling their 5.1 tracks to make them "downconversion" safe.

Beastie Boys Video Anthology. Still haven't seen anything compete. Knocked pictures off my walls.

The original question was about most bass, not necessarily deepest or cleanest, so I have to throw in a vote for The Saint, especially the initial post-childhood scenes.
