Innaugural DVD


I am in the process of setting up my home theater and will be ready for the 'unveilng' soon. What should be my first DVD? I'd like it to be impressive with respect to the surround effects, however my wife isn't really into the supernatural or Star Trek-like genre. Suggestions?

In order to break in your new home theater right, I heartily recommend "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a "sci-fi" film to be sure. But if it's special effects and action that you crave, then there is nothing else out there like "Terminator 2". If "Terminator 2" turns out to be too supernatural for the wifey, then I would recommend something else like "Lethel Weapon I". This movie has a lot of action in it, but no "supernatural" effects are in this movie. If she loves Mel Gibson (and I cannot find a woman who doesn't), then maybe this movie is more her speed. But do, try "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" first and see what you think. That also was MY first DVD (and I have about 60 now) too, by the way. Other movies that can challenge your new home theater system also include those like "Top Gun", "The Matrix", "Independence Day", and "The Specialist".

By the way, congratulations on your new home theater system. By buying a new home theater system yourself, what you did now was join a sacred fraternity. Once you experience home theater, believe me (and I'm talking from experience), you will NEVER go out to see a movie EVER again.

Again....... Congrats........

I agree with dweller, Pearl Harbor has it all, action, adventure and romance. The planes and explosion's will put your HT to the test. But remember the most important thing is the "snuggle factor" If your wife associates watching movies with you with snuggling, your home free, It won't matter if your watching gumby reruns, she'll love it. It also makes it easier when it comes time to upgrade. Good luck.
