Watched Green Lantern on blue ray (In DTS Master HD mode) with the new reciever hooked up, and the audio track was so amazing.. I think had an eargasm... The content of the movie itself was so so, but wow on the audio..

Anyone have any other recommendations for other movies with really good audio tracks?

    If you're wanting simply amazing soundtracks, I would go with 'The Village', any of the Lord of the Rings, or 'The Last Samurai'. If you're looking for amazing sound, and a wonderful test for your speakers, any of Christopher Nolan's films(such as Batman Begins, Dark Knight, or Inception) will push your speakers to new levels of awesomeness. Also, another one of my favorite soundtracks is from the HBO mini-series 'The Pacific.' Another delightfully subtle soundtrack is that of 'Shutter Island.' It's a soundtrack, even though it is extremely understated, it perfectly matches the mood of the movie.

    Yup, that there "Inception" is a real loud devil. It cost me a new rig. My 18 year old Yahaha just gave up and shut right down during a big rumble scene. She came right back up but was a little weak in the knees afterwords. Since that incident I've up-dated my power and changed some things around...I love it.

    I agree the train crash had me reaching for the remote, the movie was pretty good sounded better at home than in the theatre.
