Goldeneye | Location: | Opening Sequence |
| Features: | Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround | | Description: | This whole sequence is amazing in DD. Once the alarm goes off, and the Soviet soldiers come and start to shoot, the sound is phenomenal. It isn't over though. Just wait until James gets outside for some great sound. The credits after also start with a giant BOOM from the bullet shot. | |

Heat | Location: | Chapters 30-32 |
| Features: | Sound and picture clarity | | Description: | Heat was an excellent movie to DVD translation. If you have not seen this epic I would recommend you do so, not only for its technical excellence but it's an awesome movie besides. Anyway, the bank robbery scene (chapters 30-32) is great to show off with. The machine gun fire, the sounds of cars and the people in the streets... it is all very nicely done, very 3D sound and great picture as well. | |
