Straight Outta Compton has a very nice surround mix but I thaught the movie was too formulated for the story. Wasn't terrible but could have been better. Good cast...

...Thank you for reminding me!!!.....
(I got this on Laserdisc, early DVD, DVD reissue-yellow box- AND the second pressing -the good one- on BD.....seen it dozens of times (I met my Lovely Lis in the movie theater watching a midnight showing back in Jan 98...we know it by heart, but it's SO WELL DONE and so much thought and work went into it that even after all these years , we notice something new every time we watch it)

All of them are uncompressed. Even the ones from the 70s are presented in DTS HD-MA. An improvement over the previous Dolby digital releases.

The last Laserdisc releases were in Dolby Surround and they ROCK!!!..they even have close captions...

In the movie business or the audio world there is tons of stuff recorded before DD on analog and later transferred over to uncompressed digital formats. I don't even know what you don't believe because your post really makes zero sense. Do you not believe it could be remixed into 5.1? Or do you not believe it was released in DTS HD-MA? They did both whether you believe it or not. Think of a movie like Blazing Saddles for instance, it was originally released in mono and later remixed to 5.1. Happens all the time and with good results based on the amount of resources put into the transfer. Actually I believe the Star Wars films were remixed to 6.1 with an additional rear center channel. They may one day do another remix to include 3d sound on either the Atmos or DTS-X format...

- what your referring to is conversions, analog to digital. I am talking about original audio - like that was on VHS that was analog and it was called Dolby Surround. It was the 4 channel quad format re-purposed. the 3 front channels were derived from - left-right-right rear. and the 2 matrix ed rear was the left rear in quad. They just changed the way it was used. Not until they began to use dvd did DD come of age- but, it was still compressed. With the advent of BD came the lossless formats, they had the apace and ability to finally accomplish that. It was previously not practical due to the space limits and tech. at the time.

The Lego Movie!

I started this thread and I appreciate all the comments. I have bought and watched a bunch of the titles in this thread. So far the winner is The Lego Movie. It has audio and video that are way over the top the entire length of the movie. I get worn out watching it.

The opening sequence in Toy Story 2 is one of my demo faves.... Never fails to impress. So too the opening sequence in Casino Royale. Breaking Bad on blu-ray has excellent surround sound mixing and is of course coupled with fantastic writing and acting. Own it on blu-ray and is well worth the upgrade for sound quality. One of the worst in the series in terms of story is titled 'The Fly' but has great surround mixing of a fly literally buzzing around you. I'd imagine if there was an Atmos mix, then it would be amazing with the ceiling speakers.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have ordered TS2 and Casino Royale from Amazon and I am awaiting their arrival. I am assuming you mean the current version of Casino Royale and not the Peter Sellers version.
 
Possibly interesting anecdote:
I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 on DVD last night. The audio selection only offered English Surround or French Surround.
However, my receiver told me I was only getting stereo. I hit the audio button on the OPPO to see what streams were available. It said Dolby English or Dolby French. I went and adjusted my OPPO setting from always exporting PCM to "auto." My receiver instantly switched over to DPLII-movie. The sound field was instantly more full and believably discrete surround was coming from the rears.
 
How many times, have you gotten up to answer the door, or phone only to find it was the movie? I still get the pause button close, and hear stuff I can swear is in the next room!

Actually, Criterion released a Blu-Ray of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" back in 2008, but it's been long since out-of-print:

And it's actually pretty excellent. Criterion did their usual brilliant job with Nicolas Roeg's sci fi flick. I just poised a question to Clint as to when Criterion will start releasing 4K discs. He, like myself, surmised that it will be a niche format and from early indicators on blu~ray.com, the first batch of 4K remasters are not that dramatic of an uptick in quality from their 2K counterparts.

"Couch Coat" commercial made me think there was a cat on my porch. I rewound the dvr and the only thing in the rear speakers is the cat, which really threw me off. Made me think of your post. ...Peter Gunn binge weekend on decades tv. Cool show, cool music and crazy cat in surround.:)
 
Over the weekend, James Cameron announced at Comic-Con San Diego that The Abyss was given a new spiffy 4K treatment, and a Blu-ray (and quite likely 4K Blu-ray) will be out as early as next year. I'm sure that one will have a good surround track for it.

Can't wait for that one. The Abyss never had a really decent home video release. BTW, Zoe Saldana was on one of the talk shows recently and she's working on one of FOUR proposed sequels to James Cameron's AVATAR.

And there's so much more to discover!

Some more suggestions:
The Incredibles (a Pixar Movie) also has highly active surrounds and was one of the first Dolby Digital EX encoded DVDs back in the day.
....
… and I could go on and on. But these are my top of the list Discs. Creme de la Creme, I might say. For now it does not get better than those in my humble opinion.
