Cool Favorite DTS movies
After watching T2 on my new system (Marantz 5200 + FS2AV) at the weekend, my wow factor went sky high and now I am willing to add more DTS sound enabled movies to my collection. Can anyone recommend few of their favorite movies which use DTS please?

Saving Pte Ryan, U-571, Gladiator and The Haunting are quite interesting

Gotta agree with mcmullanbrush, If you really want to hear things zippingh from one side of the room to the other, try Gladiator (opening scene)

Gladiator is the only one I've tried.

Unfortunately I've find the volume level change between the vocals and large explosions is too great. I turn the amp up to a decent level for vocals and then the explosions are too loud. My cinema is in my bedroom upstairs and my parents complain if it's too loud.

Daylight - Rubbish Film but great loud Bangs - Under-rated home cinema demo film IMO
Pitch Black - Just LOUD

Chicken Run BTTF and FATF, you can't beat a DTS soundtrack, all this hype that it is just increased levels is popycock, dolby labs have made a mess of things, if you can't hear the difference you must have inferior equipment.

Switch on the Dynamic Range Compression (might be called Midnight Mode, depends what amp/receiver you have).

Not a big fan of DTS but Stargate is not bad The Fifth Element Superbit is very good.

It's a Yamaha DSP AX620. I'll have a look in the manual for this Dynamic Range Compression.

On the Yamahas it should have the settings MIN, STD (Standard) & MAX or something similar.
