  I would suggest these for starters.

  Scifi:
  Star Trek:Insurrection
  Matrix
  Terminator 2 (Judgement Day)
  Mimic
  Schwarznegger:
  T2 (Above)
  Eraser
  Action:
  Air Force One
  The Ghost and the Darkness(ambience,surround envelopment)
  If you have DTS,Saving Private Ryan (DTS) will be unlike anything experienced from any other movie or format (all other things being equal) not even the DD version touches
  it (IMO) even though that is tremendous in its own.
  IMO the Herbert Von Karajan Symphonies are done pretty well(laser versions are the best), I thought the Talking Heads:Stop Making Sense was done very well (the only Rock Concert I have in videos).The list could go on,but thats enough for now. Hope this helps some.

  Hi

  Just a quich response. Most DVDs coming out replicate stuff previously out on LD. Most of this was recorded in the 80's and is merely stereo with little pro logic and no DD I'm aware of. One recent DVD recording of Beethovens Solemnis is crap - wierd lighting effects have playetrs with green hair, the sound is mediocre & the performance uninspiring.

  However some of these sound OK with "concert hall" type ambiance effects added.

  Peace at AA

  John

    John, which ones are you talking about? The H. Von Karajan
    series? I have his Dvorak:Symphony No.9,and his Vivaldi: The Four Seasons on dvd as well as laser. Although I find
    myself watching/listening to the laser (it has a fuller,richer sound) instead of the dvd's, I wouldn't call these particular dvd's "crap" or unwatchable. Much to my surprise they sound better than I expected (using the PCM
    tracks of course,not the data reduced,thin sounding DD5.1).

      I noticed that if I set my Panasonic 120U for PCM it sounds better with music CDs than if I used bitstream as well.
