I'm watching War of the Worlds now which has an excellent low frequency track that really gets the floor shaking without distortion.

What other films do you recommend for annoying the neighbours?

Superman...

The original or the recent one?

U-571 is pretty good, select the dts track and jump to the depth charge scene, and your room will shake for 5 mins, top scene,

The best i have found to date is 2 fast 2 furious. not sure if youve seen it but the opening sceen where they are going to do the race is mind blowing. all the way through the race is gob smacking. i have a 700w JVC 5.1 system and when this is pumped up just under max watching this film your heart races as you feel so in the action.

I often put this scene on, just to get my heart racing.

The dvd version i have is in DTS, wow is all i can say.

I can do you a back up if you have the original and send it out to you. PM me.

Sad as it is Titanic is good to.

hhmm... only movie I can think of atm is Twister...

I think this subject requires some further investigation.. all in the name of science of course

other that than i know some D&B tunes that will make the sub earn it's keep

U571

Aweful how the americans stole a peice of british history, but the dvd has a DTS soundtrack and the opening 10 minutes in the german sub with the depth charges is awesome to give the AV amp a work out.

Edit> Chas beat me to it ......

In the car sound world, seemly the original superman track is what they all test out their systems out on due to the wide range or low freq's

Firing a rocket from the rocket launcher on GTA San Andreas on the PS2 tends to get my front room shaking a bit. My mate came home and said he could easily hear me outside when getting out the car. That's just on a fairly cheap, but semi decent surround hi-fi system, with video aux to the TV.

I've used the boat landing scene in Saving Private Ryan, as well as 'the Lobby' scene in the Matrix, for speaker testing before now

I read that post as:

^Agreed gota love Shaving Private Ryan, nothing quite like shaving everything in the whole house

Nother vote for Private Ryan. I also like the scene in Matrix 3 where the drill things breach the dome and then there's a battle with the humans in big robot suits with heavy machine guns. (I know what I'm on about).

Batman Begins really gets the floor shaking as well.

I had to turn the subwoofer down for Hellboy.

Top gun, the opening sequences with the music mixed with flying noises

Keep 'em coming.

Not watched Top Gun for a while - could be good fun

Yeah Top Gun is pretty good especially the DTS:ES version

Cars

No really I am serious.

days of thunder as well

Any one of the Star Wars lot is pretty good...

Play Dire Straits Money for Nothing if you want a music track...

Tracks 89 to 93 off this CD (or the original v1) are good too

InterStudio: Sound Check 2 Test CD

The start of 2001:a space oddessey for famous theme music which has a big bass rumble right through it.

Galdiator

Platoon

I have found a woofer test on the gone in 60 seconds sound track, carp tune imho, but great to set going when a freind is sat in the room whist you go and make drinks, see how long they manage before they cant cope with the noise from the sub ( i usually wont return to the room until it has finnished playing).

As for a movie i would recomend the original underworld movie, that has some awsome bits in it.

Any of the recent 3 Star Wars films.

Top Gun Sepcial edition (DTS:ES)

Fast and Furious - Tokyo Drift

Try the Blade films set on DTS.
