but he is right thou.. I have own those two on D-Theater and they are awesome, the Japanese LD of those movies tracks iirc are pretty good too. But I sold my LD ones ages ago, so memory is fuzzy.

Just a few of my favorites that come to mind.

10,000 Maniacs: MTV Unplugged (1994)
http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/08952/401 ... %281994%29

Big Parade, The (1925) ... A silent movie? Yes! Orchestral score by Carl Davis is jaw dropping in MGM Silent Classics series.

Eagles: Hell Freezes Over (1994) Circuit City used to use this as a demo disc.

Vertigo (1958) MCA Universal Signature collection

"The Mummy". This movie was the last Universal Signature Series disc released and has incrdible sound quality. This disc is far supiroir to the DVD sound.

1) THE SHADOW DTS.
2) LOST IN SPACE DTS (especially the hyper jump scene.)
3) IMAX SUPER SPEEDWAY DTS (the scene where the engine is being thrashed at cosworth, gradually zooms in, and then it goes instantly to a thunder storm amazing.)
4) TRUE LIES DTS (The Harrier jump jet scenes.)
5) CASPER DTS (AN ALL ENCOMPASSING EXPERIENCE.)

Many others beside the above.

The Armeggeddon ac-3 soundtrack when the spaceshuttles takeoff land etc is pretty impressive ....along with starship troopers ac-3 ....eagles hell freezers over in dts ..

Strong agreement. This one was knocking painting off my walls and books off my shelves!

Yes once the bass and sub bass waves reach the walls they tend to have tendency of flexing a little bit. LOL

I have listened to the film at least 12 or so times in Dolby Stereo at the MGM cinema in my home town screen 1 and then screen 2 and only once in dts at UCI Tower Park in screen 6. Plus god knows how many times on THX laserdisc when the film was released while still playing at the cinema and then later I got the dts THX laserdisc and it still knocks my soaks off a nice scoring mixing balance with sound effects and dialogue on the launch.

The gantry arms each and one pulling away from the Saturn V and panning away from centre to left and right from different camera angles WOW its thinking man’s sound film listen too.

The Empire Strikes Back THX laserdisc CLV its easy to play sides over the CAV version I have.
The sound mix is just phenomenal for this Dolby stereo mix of 1980. The matrix mix is nicely transferred but the discrete mix is different ballgame.

From the opening moments of the Tauntaun close up and its sound being panned from centre to stage left wow.

Switches being pressed or flipped to left or right channel in the rebel complex, from hissing doors centre then closing to right channel thou when thinking about it makes no sense to have the hissing door sound close to right when the Princess walks away from the door, “Han” It would make sense in 6track discrete like DVD but it doesn’t happen have the sound on the right surround only as the door is several feet now behind the audience!

The AT-AT has so much going on with individual sounds to left and right and centre thou centre sounds mostly active if not critically balanced in frequency along with left and right some of the smaller sounds are a bit hard to localize.

In the Falcon when Han turns the Falcon around to head towards the star destroyer, the flipping of few switches on the control panel on stage left are a little bit hard to hear in matrix, in the discrete mix its bit clear as the dialogue track and parts of the score aren’t clashing or competing with each other.

I know the sound is there its high range sound easily above 1 KHz range.

Nice clear moment is when the Falcon comes in to save Skywalker from Cloud City, the Wookie presses few buttons that should appear to left but due to matrix they tend to have left and half panned sound into the centre so placement of loudspeakers and little delay on the centre only can trick the mind a few milliseconds by holding the centre back while making Wookie button pressing sound cool and it is cool scene with score rising high and then the princess flipping a switch off to stage right clearly but the delay does help on the centre if you have active crossover network a little delay on the HF helps.

I might explore it again and place the loudspeakers closer tougher and listen within a few feet at softer SPL db level of course to try and get to know it a bit more. I find this part personal in the film and if its jellying together before letting friends listen, the scene collapses the high pitch of the Falcon’s engines nice and again the John Williams score at the same time, as Luke falls onto the Falcon WOOOOW “Lando”? “Okay lets go” Voooorrrrrooommmmmhummmm. LOL The bass and sub bass extension helps tremendously as well.

Empire is son of b**ch of film! Best STAR WARS hands down.

laserbite, are you referring to the Special Edition mix? That's the only LD of Star Wars with a discrete 5.1 mix. I do agree that they worked wonders with the material and all three new 5.1 tracks are stunning. (Also were theatrically!) Though I lack an ac3 demodulator at the moment, that's the first disc I'm putting on when I finally get one. That being said, the matrix mix is also quite good, as is the matrixed mix on the 93/95 discs-with Star Wars being derived from the 4 track original master.

This one knocks it out of the park in every single detail. I lucked out on a copy, and had never seen the film all the way through. Incredible soundfield, and the Blu-ray out in Europe uses the same bitrate DTS track. Now I can't wait to hear what DTS magic will be present on Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies.
