    some good ones to turn up: Saving Private Ryan, 1st Matrix, Gladiator, U-571

    edit: everyone keeps talking about Master and Commander but haven't seen it yet. Sounds like it has some good sound in it though.

    All around cool movie, not much on audio though: Poolhall Junkies

    Terminator 3 in addition to what's been mentioned...

    I think overall SPR is the best...

    Try "The Fifth Element" great sound FX and lots of fun colors plus Leeloo is eye candy. I also use "Dark City" to show off the HT.

    Along those lines, Finding Nemo is a great movie as well...don't think either of those will work for 'guys night' though...:D
