Pag magka pera ako, one of the first things I'll buy is a sound system for my DVD! Sa ngayon kasi I'm only relying on my TV, like DVDgurl there. I wanna fully appreciate my Das Boot!!!! :)

THE EAGLES in D.D. OR DTS this really makes you feel like you are in the middle of the concert, PLUS they have a bonus sound track that all five singers are coming at 5 different speakers a nice way to show how great a 5 channel separation can be...

another favorite, is the Imax speedway dvd ... this is the closest you can get , if you want to experience what it feels like to behind a formula one race car...just hear those engine roar....

for great panning sound demo...I'd say is air force one (when the f-15 plane goes around air force one) or dragonheart (when the dragon was flying circles around dennis quaid)

the sound can really enhance once viewing...it's liking watching a different movie with this 5.1 technology...

i just hope my neighbors can appreciate it, like i do....:)

I would have to say:

1. Saving Pvt. Ryan
2. Terminator 2 (dts)
3. Jurassic Park 1 (dts)

I have also heard rave reviews about:

1. Titan AE
2. U571

I don't own these disk but they are pretty good surround demo disks:
1. The Haunting (dts)
2. Das Boot
3. Dragonheart
4. Sleepy Hollow

BTW, you've just got to hear the depth-charges in U571 and Das Boot. They're awesome.

I would have to say Das Boot tops my list for the best sounding DVD.  It makes great use of the surrounds and gives your sub a real workout.

2 would have to go to Super Speedway.  If you have any interest at all in motor racing then you have to check out this disc.

3 would go to Saving Private Ryan for obvious reasons since everyone else agrees on this disc.

You might want to check out the sound on these discs as well:

Ghost In The Shell
The Rock
Blade
Cutthroat Island
Clear and Present Danger

T2 Ultimate Editon also.

Armageddon Criterion Collection is OK also and even though it is not DTS, the sound quality is still better that the ordinary edition.

I borrowed by friend's SPR - DTS and like what Toprock said, it really rocks.

I am interested though as to how The Haunting DTS would sound like sa amin, especially while watching it at night with the lights off and the aircon on full blast.  Mas feel siguro.

Or, I might just settle for the DTS Demo #4 which contains SPR, The Haunting, Dances with Wolves, The Eagles concert and many more.

Tama ka dyan. Nag rent ako nang "The Haunting". Napapatili ang esmi ko. Bumaon pa kuko kakakapit sa braso ko. Tapos malamig, feel na feel mo talaga  yon buga ng hangin. ;)

SAVING PVT RYAN    (DTS)    - Hands down one of the BEST if not the BEST.

U-571                    (DTS)    - Depth charges explodes on every speakers (pang work-out ng ht system).

HELL FREEZES OVER (DTS)    - Galing ng boses ni Don Henley (the bonus track seven bridges road- you can hear one member of the band for every speaker GALING).

LOST WORLD           (DTS)    - Every time the T-REX appears, low volume ka lang ang lakas ng BASS grabe!

T2 ULT. EDITITION   (DTS)    - Trailer pa lang ng THX ulam na!!!

PREDATOR               (DTS)    - Parang ikaw ang PREDATOR.

TWISTER                (DTS)    - Para daw may BAGYO sabi ng kapitbahay ko.

TOY STORY 2                      - Demo sa video, excellent audio, GREAT movie pa!

I don't have a DTS set-up (yet), so I can only comment on DD:

1. Das Boot-- although the disc is a flipper, the LFEs are as low as they get. Effects don't just jump from one speaker to another but are dynamic; (WARNING: SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!) you can almost visualize steel fragments flying around the room as the U-Boat sinks deep underwater. Kaya lang, dapat makisama rin ang A/V room mo.

2. Seven-- there are no explosions here, but the effects are more subtle. all ambient noises are heard, that provide a you-are-there feeling. That's why its more enjoyable to watch this on a quiet night.

3. Contact for its LFEs as well.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas has its soundstage going beyond the physical placement of the speakers in some musical tracks.

The DTS Demo discs (including the audio disc) siyempre would top my list kasi collection na iyon ng mga best works nila eh.

Pero kung trip mo ang bumabayo, lalo na kung may subwoofer ka...

1.  Charlie's Angels (especially the fight scene in China Town).
2.  Bring It On (duon sa finals competion)
3.  Deuce Bigalow (almost althroughout the movie)

Guys:

My humble choices:

Eagles Hell Freezes Over - DTS (much much better sounding than the BGees One Night Only also in DTS)

5th Element - the desert scene

Vertical Limit - nice sound all throughout

Cliff Hanger - openning scene, the chopper seems to be moving around you  

Still saving money for Saving Pvt Ryan DTS . . he he he!
