So, now we're looking for movies to watch that are enhanced by the surround sound and subwoofer. We have the LOTR movies, which are awesome on the new TV, but if anyone has other suggestions, bring 'em on! We're really excited to break in the new system with some great, noisy movies. Suggestions appropriate for children are welcome too. We're having movie night next weekend with our neighbors and their kids (ages 4 and 11).
BTW, intalling everything so it actually works was one of the most difficult things we've done in a very long time. I was so pissed at one point I wanted to take everything back.
Two movies jump to mind for me. First, we watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on my dad's (then-) new TV and it actually knocked a painting off the wall.
Second, U-571 when they drop the depth charges. Wow!!! That subwoofer shook the whole house.
I'm sure there are more; I'll try to think of them. If you like musicals and concert videos, those are always good.
Enjoy your new entertainment system. It will prove to have been worth it.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
