Whats the coolest sounding movie?

The Hit
with John Hurt and Terrance Stamp has very nice acoustical guitar and an excellent movie to boot.

Dead Man
with Johnny Depp has a beautiful soundtrack by Neil Young if you like a haunting electric guitar, this is also a very good (Jim Jarmusch) movie.

I just reread the original post and I am not addressing the question but I will leave these suggestions.

I second Das Boot :)

Saving Private Ryan and Fifth Element.

I agree The Haunting has some great sound effects. For a snippet of fun, check out the video sequence in the extra features section of The Lawnmower Man.

I've got to say T-2 and The Matrix. Never get tired of watching either.

Desperado, with Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek. Kick ass surround, severe dynamics, and out of this world explosions/ gunshots. There are a few explosions which actually force me to look behind me to see what fell off the wall.

Check it out.
