6.1 surround movie recommendations for speaker tests

jimbo1421

I am doing the demo of the OWM5 pair that has been making the rounds and set them up as the sixth channel with my SurroundBar 42". Dolby Surround EX encodes a sixth channel for AVRs that can decode it, like my Outlaw 1050. Can anyone make any recommendations for movies encoded with this format? I need standard DVD suggestions; I don't have a BluRay player. I would like to give this arrangement a good test, with both the single center surround and with dual center surround speakers. If it works well, then I will start looking for a single RM201 or a pair of RM101s.

Cheers,
Jim

Note: The link in the first paragraph didn't bring me where I wanted to go, saw nothing there about 6.1 or 7.1 DVD's. There is a list on the page for the link I posted.

Thanks for the list. Netflix doesn't list Surround EX on any of these but often their descriptions are incomplete. I will give Master & Commander and Lord of the Rings a try.

No problem Jim, like the article said, most of the titles don't even list Surround EX anywhere on the DVD itself so it doesn't surprise me that Netflix doesn't either. Best way to make sure is to get the actual DVD itself, just in case Netflix does something with the audio, and it's not in it's original format.
