Two old school movies but have the best surround effects.

I went to Costco and bought a system with a sub-woofer after watching Backdraft (1991) on a buddy's home theater system. The opening is awesome. Lawnmower man (1992) was another early 90's movie that had great sound. When I watched the DVD, I wished I had seen it in the theater. Another 90's movie that has a great soundtrack is Dangerous Ground (1997), especially "The World Is Mine". Heat (1995) is another one. Nearly any Science Fiction needs to be played loud, on a good system.

When the digitally remastered Star Wars VHS's came out, I thought they had good sound. I've mentioned on here before, how back in the early 90's I'd crank up the sound for the Dolby "The audience is listening".

It's crazy how much better the sound got with digital receivers and DVD's.
