Orbitron, you mentioned "my smaller bijou"; that's the name of your home theater right?
...And you are also a member at Blu-ray.com right?

I browse it, will have to check if i signed up a while back.

As to the name, well, no. My smaller bijou is my bedroom, great sound for a really small room, all overhead speakers except the sub. My real deal home theater is the 11.5 x 25 den built by Aaron Hoffman, Kanso Audio Furniture. If you check the Audio Furniture section i just posted some photos in the thread: Kanso Audio's Room.

Thx a bunch, I'll have a look. :)

* Did I welcome you? ...I will.

No list is complete without U-571, from the quiet scenes waiting for the depth charges to the detonations, a must own disc.

Very good one! ...The lightening strikes near the beginning, and later on the tripods, and the ferry capsizing.
...And also in the basement, when you hear the jet plane crashing! ...Explosions? ...Oh yeah, there are some of those too; the tanker truck falling from the bridge, the army vs the tripods on the hillside, the rocket launcher at the end. ...And all those 'zippers' from the pods. ...Disintegrating, radically, human bodies.

'War of the Worlds' is indeed very very good for jolts of 'Heavy Bass'! :cool:
 
I was watching "Skyfall" the other night.
When the train comes crashing through the hole in the tunnel....Holy Sheet!
My wife ran into the room wondering what the hell was going on.

I have 2 18" infinite baffle sub woofers (ceiling mounted), which are good down to about 8hz.
That scene, even though I didn't have it that loud, still shook the whole house. And my house is built like a bomb shelter.

A lot of low frequency energy in that scene!

As a follow up to U-571 I would recommend Phantom - a sub movie with Ed Harris in charge of a nuclear Russian sub. Very good use of surrounds, an immersive ride.
 
Expendables both 1 and 2...the first one in particular comes to mind...the motorcycle pulling into the garage in the beginning...the first shotgun blast from Dolph Lundgren during the first big fight scene at nite on the ship. The airplane flown by Stallone and the gun being manned by Jason Streatham blowing up the pier...Also the remake of Tron has nice bass throughout.

I got both on Blu-rays (don't ask me why), and lots of subwoofer action indeed, but not as well defined as in some other better made flicks (with better audio soundtracks) if you know what I mean. ...Still though, good mention. :)

Tron needs to thank Daft Punk for letting it in the movie.
The music was really a driving force, glad it made the list.

I have a 2-CD version of the Tron soundtrack by Daft Punk...way cool. The 2nd CD is not a 'waste' for marketing if you like the synthesizer & bass heavy themes of the movie...you just get another 40 min of it or so. Cool.
