Subwoofer movies that DON'T suck? - Page 8

Just got the collectors edition of TOP GUN with DTS. Pretty cheesy movie but still enjoyable.

The roaring of the turbines as they pass by is simply awesome.

I forgot to mention that I got if for only $5 so it was worth it

Watch it. You will be amazed by the LFE content for a kids movie. I was.

dont think these have been mentioned yet: CASTAWAY (crash sequence) THE BOURNE IDENTITY(opening sequence) THE BOURNE SUPREMACY(ending car chase scene....and IMO best chase scene)..........................

Which DAS BOOT version..... ive never seen it but you guys got me wanting to buy, but there is about 10 versions???????????

Has Zathura been mentioned?

Two up from yours.

Thanks, the movie is decent.

I can't remember which Matrix but the scene when Neo takes off and fly's like superman has some great Bass. But really, is there anything better then the Daria pounding in Nemo? Anybody?

Just curious.... Do any of these movies actually extend below 20hz?

Check the waterfall thread. You'll see several of 'm do.

I can't find the DTS version anywhere. Apparently it's out of print. I'm so disappointed. I spent hours going to stores trying to find it, not to mention I can only find it used on the internet or from questionable sources. Any ideas?

come on guys..... which version???????????

Like all good movies, get the Director's Cut.

Sure there are always exceptions, for Das Boot having seen the original release, the DC and the extended version, DC is best. The extended version like most out there tend to be the studio's attempt to exploit a films popularity by picking up the cut scraps from the editing room floor and putting them back into a movie. Just look at most of the deleted scenes attached as dvd extras to see why directors purged them in the first place.

Most DC are truer representations of what the artist intended before a producer required the film be cut to fit a time slot or the censure board made its presense felt.

I was cranking u571 last night. Pretty cool especially the depth charges blowing up . I need to see das boot.

does the directors cut of das boot have dts???? or just the super bit???

It's a matter of taste. Obviously, the preview audiences agreed with you, and the producers quickly "fixed" it.

I like the producers' version (which I have on the Criterion Laserdisc), but if I could only keep one, it would be the director's cut, if for no other reason than the producers' tacked on ending just didn't work for me. A couple of the scenes added back into the director's cut also raised the possibility that Deckard (Harrison Ford) was himself a replicant, which makes the story more provocative in my mind.

Mine doesn't (Signature edition). According to IMDb, only the Superbit version has dts. The DD is pretty impressive, though, and some will argue there is no significant difference if you equalize the playback levels.

Yes only the Superbit version has DTS but if you want the better version go with the DC. The DD track is is pretty good.

Now that i have a much better sub (DIY 15" coffin) than i used to have (small HTiB sub), i actually have really started enjoying the music in movies much more. The bass is much more authorative now, making its presence felt, but without overwhelming.

For example, in the movie "Stay" there's a point in the 2nd half of the movie (IIRC) where some house / dance track is used as music, and it has strong bass. Not the thumping shaking rumbling kind, but just strong bass tones that you feel as much as you hear them. Very cool.

I watched Walk The Line before i had my new sub, and i can only imagine what that must sound like with a good sub. I'm tempted to rent it again just to experience the sound again

I read pg. 1-4 and 8. I didn't see on those pages the mention of "Twister" Haven't watched it in sometime, but will revisit it now that I've added two ButtKickers to my M&K sub.

I did watch Twister after getting a better sub. It does have some deep base stuff during tornados. There is a descending sweep tone buried in a lot of other noise to make the tornado sound like a beast. The very first tornado is the best.

Cmon guys, "Twister?"

The point is to pick movies that DON'T suck, not ones that do!

To each his own.

besides, how can you not like a movie that has flying cows? Even if it is the same cow.

This is how I explain my taste in movies. This is on the first page.

Okay, but then why not post in the normal subwoofering threads? I've got TONS of cool bad movies with great bass, but good movies that are also eye or ear candy are sadly on the rare side. :-/

I thought there was a thread on movies with good bass rather than one's that "don't suck". Saying that a movie sucks or does not suck is a matter of opinion. If no one can find the other thread I will simply start one like the reference list in the dvd section and try to keep the list in the first post.

Touche. After reading 5 pages of selections, I concluded that the thread had strayed off its original intent. I'm such a noob. :smacksownhand:

I have two criteria for a good subwoofer movies that doesn't suck. If it entertains me, it's a good movie. If it pisses off my neighbor, it's a good subwoofer movie. If it entertains me and pisses off my neighbor, it's a great movie.

am i the only one that actually enjoyed war of the worlds??????????
