There are a lot of lists out there compiling the best blu-rays for audio quality... anyone heard any recents that are downright nasty? Wouldn't hurt if they are a good story to boot.

I for one am eagerly awaiting United 93's release on BD this coming september. Total downer of subject matter, but a well done movie and the sound on the DVD was quite enveloping.

    Inception and How To Train Your Dragon are both must-owns for audio. Monstrous LFE and enveloping surround in both (and both are damn fine movies).

    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector

    LOL... yes. Nasty=good. Funny thing is, I'm no kid!

    Speaking of kids, though... Monsters vs Aliens is a good one.

    Wasn't there an issue with the first release of Private Ryan?

    I think there audio syncs issues but the new ones have a yellow sticker for the upc to identify the new version. Also sunshine i think the name is a great movie for audio and visual quality
