U-571 is by far the dumbest thing ever to hit the round disc. The sound might have been good but my stomache couldn't stand the story and the acting.

Music: 1. Steely Dan Two against nature 2. Will Smith Video Collection 3. Pink Floyd's The Wall 4.Metallica S&M 5: Fleetwood Mac The Dance Movies: 1: Saving Private Ryan 2: The Matrix 3: Armageddeon 4: Gone in 60 seconds 5: Gladiator 6:House on Haunted Hill 7: Heat 8: Toy Story 2 9: The Edge (the scenery is incredible on dvd) 10: Independance Day These are some of the best that I've seen so far. One of the worst I've seen with the most potential was Top Gun. They really dropped the ball with the audio.

Ones I have seen recently that really show off the home theater:

1. U-571 - man will your sub rock!
2. Gladiator
3. Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
4. Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
5. Bugs Life
6. Toy Story 2

Here's my top 10:
1. Heat
2. Armageddom
3. The Matrix
4. The Patriot
5. Terminator 2
6. Jurassic Park
7. Independence Day
8. Gladiator
9. Antz
10. Zorro

PINK FLOYD-THE WALL, ARMAGEDDON, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, A BUGS LIFE, BRAVEHEART, GLADIATOR, THE MATRIX, BLADE, THE 5TH ELEMENT,TOY STORY 1&2(counted as 1 movie).


THE SAME GOES FOR ME AS LANCE. THESE ARE NOT IN ORDER, JUST MOVIES THAT MAKE HOME THEATER WORTH IT!!

Here are some of my favorites for Sound and Picture:
Matrix
Evil Dead 2(THX)
Starhip Troopers(Great sound & special effects)
Terminator 2(Ultimate Edition)
Toy Story (1&2)
Yellow Submarine
Casablanca (great remastering of the picture)
Gladiator
Fifth Element
The Abyss

A great thread - thanks for all the sugggestions!
Here are mine:

1) The Mask of Zorro - Where has everybody been?
Am I the only one with any taste???!!!

2) A Bug's Life - way too good for kids

3) Jurassic Park - lots of grunt and groan

4) My Fair Lady - a classic - beautifully put together and digitized

5) True Lies - great action scenes; very funny

6) The Mask - Jim C. - an acquired taste??

7) Toy Story; Toy Story 2 - See #2 above

8) French Kiss- Funny; great music; great scenery. (Kevin Kline even sings well - in French, no less).

8) Four Weddings and a Funeral - I'm not a big Hugh Grant fan, but this one's a keeper.

9) Top Gun - It got me interested in multi-channel home theatre many, many years ago. (The sound track is terrific on Paradigms!)

10) The Matrix - Great to see once, maybe even
twice.
