I thought this might be a fun ongoing thread. You get to see what others are watching and may find a new movie for your collection. New, old, color, B&W, foreign, concert or whatever...its all good.

I'll start with an excellent animated flick with rich detail and a good soundtrack: Tim Burton's Nine

We just watched the new Star Trek movie... 134" (16:9) just doesn't cut it. When I do the theater we are going at least 150" (2.35:1).

We watched "Saving Private Ryan". This is an excellent movie to help showcase your speakers. With the bullets flying around and all the D-Day activities on the beach. Just an amazing movie! Highly recommended.

Last Night we watched The Whoopie Boys and Star Trek: Into Darkness. The Whoopie Boys is an all time comedy favorite of mine. Star Trek was a blind buy for me and after a couple of issues with the disk on my LG bluray players, the story is only so-so but the audio and video is fantastic.

Am I the only one that thinks Star Trek is better on a theater size screen than a HT size screen?

Since you brought up "the loudness war" comment, I was wondering just the opposite of what y'all are talking about. To me, it seems like so many movies now-a-days put more LFE in silly things, like scene changes or dramatic moments, that there are when LFE are called for (like things blowing up, or space ships coming in, etc..).
Anybody else know what I'm talking about?
There have been times the bass is almost a constant, so I end up turning off the amp for the infinite baffle sub. It's just too much needless bass.

Too keep some continuity with the thread, the wife and I watched and old school "blow stuff up" movie last night "Deep Impact".
The effects are certainly dated, but an entertaining movie regardless.

Yep. Even things like people getting punched or handguns being fired are accompanied by an unrealistic amount of bass that takes away from my overall enjoyment of the scenes in many cases. Then like you said, something explodes and you think, "where was the rumble"?

Watched The lost medallion tonight with my two daughters. It's a limited release in theatres movie produced by Christians. It was actually not bad, the acting was decent and story (meant to be fictional) as its being told as a story to some orphans in a home who just need something to lift their spirits.
The movie is filmed in a tropical area and much of the visuals are quite stunning, loads of color and very rich.
