Recommendations on movie scenes for subwoofers


What dvd soundtracks are great for integrating a subwoofer into a home theater? Can you let me know the movie, scene, and what to listen for?

Thanks!

Take a look at the SVS website they give lots of movie ideas with the tracks to listen to. www.svsound.com
Definitely "U-571". You should feel like you are in a submarine with those depth charges going off all around.
The opening scenes in "Master and Commander" are great for checking out your sub. The creaking floorboards and creaking ropes floating around the room are suddenly overwhelmed by the cannon shots followed by the strikes of the cannon balls hitting the ship. As my son would say: "woof"

The opening battle scenes in "Gladiator" get the job done as well, as does the "The Fifth Element"

There is some pretty good low frequency information happening in parts of "Blade Runner" too....

If you are into it, the "Drumz/Space" section of the Grateful Dead DVD "Truckin' Off To Buffalo" will energize your room.
Still one of the best continous huge bass lines is in the movie Blade II. There is a scene shot in a vampire dance club that pounds the subwoofer for several minutes with huge bass. As already mentioned, War of the Worlds, when the aliens first emerge has quite a long scene to work out your subwoofer to help dial it in.
