Best DVD/Blu-Ray Movies for testing Surround Sound

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 
I recently purchased Onkyo S790 HTIB and I would like to test it out. What are some of the best movies on either Dvd or Blu-ray to test out the quality of surround sound ?

So far I've tested Black Hawk Down, The Patriot, T2, Toyko Drift and Saving Private Ryan and all of them sound great.

Beware of the fake versions that people have d/l off places like Bob's torrent site (available through the demo tree thread in Home Theater and Construction) and then put up with artwork d/l off the internet.

I think one of the best scenes for surround is the shootout after the bank robbery in Heat.
