Above average 5.1 dvd's

[Kai]

Hi all,
I need several dvd movie recommendations that have above average 5.1.
I am in the process of trying to please my wife by moving my surrounds from behind the couch to the back wall.
I have Paradigm Atoms and Titans, both version 4, to sample as the surrounds.
The surrounds will be wall mounted approx 10 inches from the ceiling and 15 feet from my sofa.
The room config does not support mounting the surrounds on L/R walls as there is no L wall lol.
I have moved the speakers to the basic location but stand mounted at the top height of the stands, 48 inches. I have also switched the Atoms/Titans back and forth, reset the YPAO of the receiver and used my SPL meter to match the db. When I match the db there is a noticeable reduction of the surround setting compared to using the Star Wars, Return of the Jedi dvd. When I use my ears and the movie I push the settings of the surrounds to 90% of max.
Beyond the movie recommendations any other advice, comments and/or suggestions are most welcome.
See link below for a more detailed description of what I am doing.
Thanks,
Kai

Yep, there are a few threads in that forum already. Look for "Must Have DVD" and some of the DTS threads.

sorry to be annoying but i did realize that some people dont know this and it is that no matter what speakers you have, you will not get good sound whithout digital coax, optical, or hdmi
