new speakers, need new dvd's with good sound

I have just upgraded from crappy 20 dollar 2 speaker with onboard sound to
an ok set of Logitech z560(decided to save some cash and not go for the
680's) speakers and a Soundblaster Audigy X-Gamer sound card. Now I wanna
buy about 5-6 dvds with EXCEPTIONAL sound to make my speakers work their ass
off! I already got matrix reloaded and the star wars movies on my list, can
you suggest any others? Thnx for your time

Lord Of The Rings extended editions if you system can handle
DTS 7.1 discrete sound.

Star Wars Episode 1's pod race is pretty good for showing off a system;
that's about it...

Most recent action movies will give your system a decent work out too.

Both Godzilla (new American version) and Independence Day should give your
speakers a workout.

Except it's rear center is matrixed instead of discrete,
so why bother?

Well, if you don't have a rear centre speaker, what does it matter?

It's 6.1, not 7.1. There are no 7.1 DVDs.

The net result of a matrix center channel and a discrete center channel
is audibly the same.

Two fronts, two surrounds, two centers (one front and
one rear) and one sub-woofer - 2, 4, 6, 7...

....and LOTR extended edition lights up all the signal
indicators on my Yamaha RX-Z1, matrixed rear center for
DD and discrete rear center fort DTS...

.... I know the new math is hard when going from 5 to
10and all, but it's okay you'll get there.

Well yeah, if your gear is crap and you don't have outs
for a rear center. Duh.

Subwooofers are the .1 as they are not full-range speakers/channels. To
my knowledge, there are not currently any DVDs with 7.1 channels.

Even then, aren't some of the channels in 7.1 matrixed channels?
