I was watching Jurassic park last night and in one of the jungle scenes if I closed my eyes if sounded like I was in the middle of a rain storm. Now if I can just swing the $$ to get a 42 inch HD monitor to go with my sound system....

Christmas is coming. Maybe she's making a list, and checking it twice.... Be good! 
But seriously, have you ever seen "Hulk" since you got the5.1 setup? It starts out slow, but about an hour into it there are some awesome sound effects.  Can anyone recommend other "can't miss" movies with great audio to match the video?
p.s. If you're hoping for a plasma, ask Mrs. Clause for a 50" to get the true 720p HD effect without scaling the 1280 down to 1024. Plus it's a lot more square inches of "awsomeness" (almost 42% more)
