I prefer the 7.1 for movies personally even though I've never heard a true 7.1 DVD (not even sure they exist) The Denon will set you back $5-600 and will probably sound fine.

The Denon 3803 would probably pack more punch than the Arcam in movies. I would personally take the Denon if I were to choose between the two.
