My list If you like the music of Jaws and Jaws 2, all six Star Wars movies, The Indian Jones series, and the Harry Potter series, then I recommend looking at any and all of the movies that John Williams wrote for. Scan down to the Composer section imdb.com/name/nm0002354/ I especially enjoy Empire of the Sun. If you enjoy the music of Beetle Juice, the Batman Movies, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Men in Black, and Spiderman, then I recommend checking out Danny Elfman's compositions.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000384/ Others I recommend by soundtrack are: 1. Psycho --Bernard Herrmann 2. James Bond Series-- John Barry wrote the James Bond Theme 3.

The Omen -- Jerry Goldsmith (kinda scary, but the music is incredible) 4. Bed of Roses -- Michael Convertino (gasp, what is this non-blockbuster doing here? Listen to the music and find out!) 5.

Braveheart -- James Horner 6. The Power of One -- Lebo M and Hans Zimmer BUT especially for Johnny Clegg's Concerto for the Southland Bonus: I don't remember the music, but Jurassic Park has great sound effects that are worth hearing in surround sound. Enjoy!

My two personal DVD's to watch with surround sound... 1. Saving Private Ryan 2. 300 You simply cannot go wrong with these two!

SigEpMan's Recommendations Saving Private Ryan (Special Limited Edition) Amazon List Price: $14.99 Used from: $5.94 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 1267 reviews) 300 (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) HD DVD Amazon List Price: $39.99 Used from: $22.12 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 104 reviews) .

My favorites are the big movies... Lord of the Rings Trilogy Star Wars (the older 3) Pirates of the Caribbean (the 1st one has great music) Not a movie, but the DVD of Celtic Woman at Slane Castle is breathtakingly beautiful with surround sound! .

Independence Day and Twister Both have lots of action and happenings outdoors and indoors.

Any movie that has movement. The Matrix was the first movie I ever played on my surround sound. It did not disappoint.

The most surprising movie to play on my surround sound that really made great use of all the speakers was South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut. When Cartman picked up the machine gun and started spinning around firing off rounds, each shot went around the room on a different speaker. I was speechless.

I felt like I was in the middle of the firefight. Other movies with background sounds like jungle movies caus emy cats to freak out when animal sounds come from every direction. Most modern movies are recorded to take full effect of surround sound systems.

There really is no wrong answer. If a movie is interesting to you, it will be even better on surround sound.

I have lots of dvd movies and would like to edit parts of movies into my home videos. Is this possible? How?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
