Obviously Star Wars will win with its lasting, original, and iconic sound effects, but I must say the sound in Heat is incredible.

The bank robbery shootout alone is not only the best I've ever seen, but it's the best I've ever heard also.

They actually used the original sound recorded on site because the man-made effects couldn't hold a candle to the cavernous echo of real downtown machine guns.

The first hijacking scene's sound is incredible too.

I don't think there has been a war film or video game since 1998 that hasn't borrowed one or two sound effects from Saving Private Ryan.

The dinosaur roars in Jurassic Park. Pretty cool how they combined various animal sounds to do it.

Coen brothers are the masters of sound effects.

Michael Mann is the shite when it comes to that type of stuff. The firefight scene in Miami Vice was legit.

The Marvel movies have had some good ones. Iron Man's repulsors as mentioned. Thor's hammer sound is another. But man, there are so many iconic sounds in Star Wars. I can't think of another movie with that many recognizable sound effects. I mean every ship/vehicle/weapon is unique. One of my favorites is the speeder bike from ROTJ.

The gun sound in Open Range are amazing.

The first Thor movie has incredibly well balanced sound levels. I wish every movie was that balanced between dialogue and action scenes.

The sound in Titan A.E. is top notch.

Of movies I've seen recently the nice guys stands out because they use the sound design to make the punches and action more visceral

It's really good shite

I remember watching Saving Private Ryan in theaters and being able to distinguish the sounds of the bullets hitting the blades of grass.

The scene where the cannonballs are tearing through the ship in Master & Commander is awesome. Really shows off a good system.
