Why Do Some DVD's Play Louder Than Others??

Can anyone tell me why some DVD's play louder than others??
For example, Saving Private Ryan DTS is very loud, great sound effects movie. I had my system at -14db and that was almost too loud. I just watched Vertical Limit which is also a loud movie with great sound effects but was able to go up to -10db and probably could have gone up a couple more??
Does the recording format have anything to do with this, meaning DD, DD EX, DD ES, DTS, etc.??
Just curious. Thanks in advance for the replies!!

I have noticed this as well. I beleive it's not the format but the level set when recorded. Cd's will do this as well.
