I already have a (too) big pile of unwatched discs, but I'm always on the lookout for something special. Anyone have a recent favourite release on disc to suggest? (the content need not be new, but the release should be, in the spirit of the question) Or maybe those days are over?

One recent release that impressed me is Russel Crowe's The Water Diviner.
A V well produced, filmed & scripted story of a father's search for the remains of his sons who lost their lives during the Gallipoli Campaign, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign, in Turkey during WWI.
The historical relevance & accuracy alone make this a 'must see' imho.
A V good film on its own & well worth the time invested. -
A lot of my purchases now are for either top enjoyment movies I'll watch again, which are increasingly fewer and fewer, or top audio or video quality flicks.
Some that come to mind are:
Godzilla (monster bass, not great movie)
Lego Movie
American Sniper
Gravity (3D or Atmos)
John Wick (Atmos)
Unbroken (Atmos)
Art of Flight (must have, especially in 3D)
If you haven't already seen my posts on Atmos audio, it's totally worth it, even if you don't go beyond a 5.1 or 7.1 system. The clarity is unbelievable.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

If you haven't heard about this one yet in the HT community, stop and pay attention.
The film itself is a check-your-brain-at-the-door, guys' night out, shoot 'em up action film. Keanu Reeves actually does a very decent job as the title character super killer, maybe the most convincing... -
Hi
The obvious question after the announcement of Dolby Atmos in the consumer space is if there are any plans to implement a software update to the SSP-800 to allow for Atmos processing. According to some of the other manufacturers press releases there will be units that will allow for... -
This is getting a little ahead of the game as i have quite a ways to go in my current room. My system consists of (3)WMTW for my LCR, four RS225/28a twoways for sides and backs. Subs are old adire Tumults sealed. I power all the mains & surrounds with OutlawAudio M-200's. I power the Tumults with... -
