Taken from dvd.ign.com (link), here are the top 10 DTS DVDs to show off your home-theater system:

#1: The Haunting
Hands down, this is the most impressive DTS soundtrack yet released. While some may not be too impressed at the movie itself, put this DTS DVD into your player and be prepared to be blown away.
The scene with the pounding on the door features such intense bass, it will shake your house to the foundation and cause the neighbors to call the cops.


#2 Gladiator
Coming in a close second is another disc from Dreamworks, and another that features a DTS ES track.
Great ambience, stunning separation, and deep bass makes this discrete DTS mix quite a treat and one of the best yet on DVD.

#3 Saving Private Ryan
When Private Ryan was released theatrically in 1998, audiences were impressed by the incredible sound design in the opening Normandy Invasion.
The disc was a natural for DVD, and while the Dolby Digital disc featured a thunderous mix, the DTS version edges it out in terms of quality. This mix is so good, you'll be ducking from the bullets.

#4 The Jurassic Park Trilogy
The original DTS film slammed onto DVD with some problems in the pressing that caused faulty discs. However, all of that has now been solved and you can once again experience the same earth-shaking sound that made people say "I must have that in my home" back in 1993.

#5 Terminator 2: The Ultimate Edition

One of the first DVDs ever released was an edition of T2 from Live. When the film got the super DVD-18 special edition, it was also given an extremely impressive DTS track.
Just as the original DVD was used to demo the format to early adopter, this DTS mix can be used to show off your home theater.


#6 Air Force One (Superbit)

For quite a while, the original Air Force One DVD reigned supreme as one of the best examples of how impressive Dolby Digital could be on DVD.
With the Superbit release, an equally stunning DTS mix was created and it's one that should not be missed.



#7 U-571
You may wonder why this disc is on this list. However, fire up the DTS track and head to the scene with the depth charges and you'll see the light.



#8 Apollo 13
This is one of my favorite films of all time, and the DTS mix is great. One very impressive moment of bass is the "thwomp" of the fuel pumps right before the Saturn 5 lifts off.


#9 The Die Hard Special Edition Trilogy
Action films definitely need great sound, and when Fox released the special edition Die Hard trilogy, they added in DTS tracks to each film to give the bass an extreme boost.


#10 Moulin Rouge
If you want a good DTS disc that doesn't rely on explosions to impress, the Moulin Rouge DVD won't disappoint.
From the ambience of the musical numbers to the bass of the windmill blades, it's one fun mix to listen to.

[size=-4](Added pics and links, Hope you don't mind - benny)[/size]

had opportunity to see most of the flicks on the list except the haunting, apollo 13 and jurassic park. must say that the one's i've seen definitely deserve their place on the list.

would have to add the ff though:

LOTR-Extended Edition
Fast and the Furious
and my current fave Snatch (Superbit)

- the boxing scene just rocks bigtime!!!!

but i think Das Boot should be in the list instead of U-571. Das Boot kicks U-571's @$$!

I haven't seen any Das Boot DVD in DTS. Meron ba?

Kahon, there's no DTS DVD of Das Boot but the Total Remastering effort done on this movie's audio mix was exemplary, and warrant it as a Reference quality in sound even though is only in Dolby digital.

mga brod, available na sa astrovison branches tong mga superbits na to, like DAS BOOT (The Director's Cut), FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, HEAVYMETAL & LEGENDS OF THE FALL. wala pa ko nakita SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET...

Sabi na sa inyo may DTS ang Das Boot eh. Read it from IGN a long long time ago.

Quote from: art00 on Mar 19, 2003 at 09:43 AM

Dexter:

** I have the Das Boot Director's Cut R3 Superbit... and I can confirm that the package has 2 discs, the movie (runtime: 210 min) is broken up into the 2 discs. There are, however, practically NO extra features / bonus materials.

** As for the available audio, I think it is the same as the R1 Superbit edition:
German DTS
German DD (5.1)
English Dolby Surround (2.0)

** Hope this helps...
