Wrong forum. Go to Blu-ray player forum

Why? he's asking about a movie.

The second season of Weeds has 7.1 audio (not that it's going to be as bombastic or aggressive as an action flick or anything), and it was so addictive that I watched the entire season in one sitting. (I would recommend giving the first season a look to get a feel for the series beforehand, tho'.) 7.1 is not terribly common, and I'm not sure if anyone's using it other than Lionsgate.

The Descent is 6.1 uncompressed and impressive.

Waiting...Yeah, as long as you don't mind that 6.1 of those channels are silence… :p Still a funny movie, though.

Try Crank. It's 7.1 PCM with stereo rears.

Crank and Descent are both good showcase titles IMHO.

Seconded. Nice PQ, to boot :)Thirded. Adrenaline-fueled action/comedy romp to cap, and extras that actually make the movie better (as opposed to "stealing some of the magic"); it really helped depict how much love went into making this movie. I was surprised how much I liked this disc.

One minor correction, though… it's 6.1 LPCM, but don't let that stop anyone.

Even on my old sound system with Aiwa home theater in a box speakers, THE DESCENT was incredible. I can't wait to watch it again with my new set up. If you like horror movies, you should love it - it's the whole package.
