The Best Movies For A Home Theater

---

These are some of the best movies for a home theater in my opinion.

To list every movie worth your time would be nigh impossible, so these are just a few that would be particularly fun to look at due to their surround sound dynamism.

I’ve given my opinion under each without spoilers.

This is going to be a continuously growing list as I test additional movies & find ones that particularly stand out when it comes to audio.

The Hulk

---

This is a movie that will really test your speakers’ mettle so to speak, especially your subwoofer. Many dynamic scenes where there’s epic action, bass, and surround sound effects.

Lord Of The Rings

---

Besides being an amazing series in general, the Lord of The Rings movies are particularly interesting because of how epic some of the musical scores are when things begin to escalate on screen. Would definitely recommend the trio based on plot alone, but as far as material to show off your new toys, this would indubitably be it.

Harry Potter

While sticking to the fantasy theme, how could we forget this classic series, Harry Potter? Harry Potter has pretty much become a household name over the years, and for good reason. If you’ve never watched the series, I’d highly recommend it, and if you have, I still recommend it due to how enthralling it sounds on a good system.

Star Wars

Speaking of classics and household names, Star Wars anyone? It’s really hard to dislike Star Wars and their iconic characters like Yoda and Darth Vader that we’ve come to know. Another amazing showcase on a good surround system. The plot is also good to boot (you know, as long as you keep in mind light sabers and walkers aren’t a thing…….yet anyway.)

The Dark Knight

---

*In a gruff voice* I’m BATMAN! No not really (that’d be cool), but the Dark Knight trilogy if you haven’t watched already, is a must buy. Besides the obvious action that comes with a batman movie, there’s lots of twists and turns that will genuinely surprise you.

 Star Trek

---

Another surprise hit as of late was the recent Star Trek reboot. In short without spoiling anything, these movies are definitely worth your time. There was a lot of doubt as to how good these reboots would be, (from me included) but wow was I wrong…that’s all I’ll say.

Predator

---

This is one of those series where if you’re squeamish, I definitely don’t recommend it. However if you are on the opposite side of that spectrum the I can’t recommend it enough. Definitely one of the coolest series around, and your subwoofer will undoubtedly get a workout. Plus just look at that loveable face.

Alien

---

Alien I feel, really makes you question how adept humans would be if ever faced with something like that. They’re good movies nonetheless, but do know it can get pretty creepy at times for those who scare easy.

Terminator

---

Do you fear the day robots take over the world? Good me too, (not serious) but Terminator is such a good series that there’s no way I couldn’t mention it. The action is pretty intense, and the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger just so happens to be one of the main characters which is pretty awesome.

One of the best aspects of the series is how it gives a what if look into how we might cope with artificial intelligence excelling to the top of the food chain (hint, kind of questionably)
