A Quiet Place and Edge Tomorrow Best Demo for Atmos because they are specific, dynamic for your height speakers. Problem with many Atmos mixs is u just hear 🎶 score not Dynamic and just Static all speakers playing same music and effects. Many are just like True Dolby or Auro 3D.
You know I have to watch it again because when I watch it the first time I didn't have my Dolby Atmos speakers in place yet.. Thanks for reminding me!! 👍🏽✌🏽
In Quiet Place 2 there is a scene where they are in the basement and water slips through from the floor above - that is probably my favorite Atmos moment. You can hear the water above you - love it!
Hi. Great list. As a totally blind film watcher, audio is incredibly important to me and Atmos just takes it to the next level. 2 of my personal favorits, Bladerunner (the original not 2049) and Hacksaw Ridge. BR has incredible atmospherics, you really feel like you're in the city for the whole film or else inside one of the huge echoing buildings. Hacksaw Ridge is another bullets fest and the bass will blow your ears off. However of all the war films I've heard, Hacksaw ridge actually scares me to the point I feel like I have to duck things in a way that 1917 and blackhawk down just never quite managed to achieve for me. Bullets and mortars don't just come from behind or in front, they wizz about on the overheads and take the whole living room apart. If you've not heard that one, it's a very frightening experience in Atmos :)
This is a fantastic POV, thank you for the reccomendation. Hans Zimmer and John Williams are some of my favorite Film Composers and I was wondering who are some of your favorites as a blind film watcher?
@@7A7ER Hi. Thanks. Yeah those 2 are really good. I actually love James Newton Howard as well, did the hunger games,, Unbreakable etc. Then their are specific soundtracks that stand out to me, Silence of the Lambs, Aliens etc, by different composers but still amazing. I actually find how music for movies is mixed in Atmos really confusing. Some people throw it up on the overheads, some keep it on the lowers, some put it all over the place, there is no rhyme or reason to it. Then again that could be said of so much of Atmos. There are so many films where people simply don't employ the overheads properly at all :)
dont worry about your old videos man. You got here by making them. And I would also mention Gravity for atmos surround audio. Dynamic moving sound during key scenes, and last 15 minutes of the movie, absolutely beautiful.
@@NeonmirrorblackI think they are both pretty bad. I bought ambulance based on the strength of the A//V experience… I don’t do that anymore. I have enough twisters black hawk downs and edge of tomorrows to work out the system if need be but I don’t buy mid movies for audio only anymore
@@robertfaulkner1824 I don't either anymore. I enjoyed Ambulance for what it was, but it's not something I ever use as demo material, and it's not a film I'll likely ever return to. Midway has some really impressive aerial audio, but the film itself is truly mediocre. Also, Civil War seems to be somewhat divisive story wise (some people don't really get what it's truly about), but when I describe the audio on forums, I compare it to films like Blackhawk Down, The Batman and A Quiet Place.
Excellent list Jeff. The newly released Twister 4K is almost in a class by itself. The opening F5 tornado sequence, in Atmos ,is one hell of a way to open a movie. Funny thing about Ready Player One. It defaults to a DTS-HD 5.1 audio track which is very robust and expanded out by either Neural:X or Auro 3D sounds great even at relatively modest listening volumes. When I switch it over to Atmos I've found that I have to jack my AVR's volume up more than a couple of ticks to let the sound really come alive. I've always thought that, on average, DTS tracks are a bit louder and more dynamic than Dolby tracks. It's too bad that there aren't more DTS:X encoded home releases.
Great list, Jeff. I would give an honorable mention to Lone Survivor and All Quiet on The Western Front. Fantastic ATMOS and loud bass. (Lone Survivor is DTS-X but still sounds amazing)
Glutamate this about 1917. The scene where he is sneaking thru the city and the shadows on the wall and the soundtrack was impressive. The actual musical score. I haven't been amazed by score in a movie since castaway. Watching those 2 at home? It wowed me again. I love when soundtracks work with a movie
@@SpencerRayFitch chapter 1 intro. Chapter 2 intro up till when he gets to his apartment Chapter 5 when he talks to the hookers are my faves The ceiling speaker are all advertisement commercials / rain
That's a Solid Bass movie from Start to End and really good Atmos sound overall. Interstellar kicks ass for subwoofer rumble, nothing so far can compare to it.
I first watched Black Hawk Down on the original 2002 DVD using a Pioneer XV-DV303 5.1 system which was the latest & greatest at the time, and it sounded amazing. Glad to see the upgraded 4K Blu-ray still holds up. Sound ages well.
I appreciate you mentioning Deepwater Horizon. I feel like that's an underrated pick for these Atmos lists. It's the third 4K UHD I ever got, way back in 2017. I barely watched it this year. I upgraded my surround sound system in 2020. Thank god I didn't watch it with my old system. I was not prepared for how robust the sound would be, especially with its deep bass. My house was rockin'.
Great choice of Movies. Mission Impossible Fallout is also amazing for Dolby Atmos. It’s up there with TopGun Maverick. I just have a soundbar. I am going to upgrade my soundbar and I will also get a subwoofer and rear speakers.
Absolute yes with Twister 4K. I read a piece of trivia that director Jan de Bont gave a note to projectionists instructing them to play the movie at loud volume. That still applies with the Atmos track- you put that movie on, you crank that shit up. WB hit it out of the park! Universal better be ready to match that effort for Twisters on 4K. (Just saw that movie today- it's great!)
You also gotta give kudos to 'Hans Zimmer'; he's a GENIUS with his musical scores; like "Man of Steel" and "Dune".... the Atmos in these two movies are off the chain! This is why I LOVE your channel.... your bring it!
Just took my home theater up to 7.2.4 With a new AVR(az5000es) and external amp(Basx a5) And all I can say is TWISTER 4K Y.E.S. I hadn't rewatched it in years, but that disc was amazing. One that may be overlooked by a lot of people. But it's truly fantastic, The GREATEST SHOWMAN. If you have an elite home theater, this will absolutely be demo worthy as soon as you pop the disk in, the first scene out the gate will blow your friends alway! The Twister, ready player one, edge of tomorrow's. Are definitely amazing demo worthy movies, but there can be kind of a lot going on all at once, with those type of demos. The greatest showman, is really a home theatre showpiece disc... Warning, do not try this with the Disney plus version. There is a severe difference in audio quality.
Great list!! I own all of these except Twister(waiting for the price to drop). I just re-watched Black Hawk Down and I had forgotten how great the Atmos was!! It definitely elevated it's position on my top 10 Atmos movies list and the picture quality was incredible as well. Your pick for a subtle Atmos movie(s) of A Quiet Place is not wrong but if I could mention The Invisible Man as my pick for a great atmospheric movie. It too, I believe, would not be nearly as good a movie experience if it were not for the outstanding Atmos track. Again, great list Jeff! Really enjoy your great reviews!!
I hear what you saying!! Amazon want $41.00 for the Twisted that he showed?? I might go ahead and buy it because I love that movie. I just can't imagine how it's going to sound.
Do not skip the content/video but for those who want to look them up afterwards: 1. Twisters 2. Black Hawk Down 3. Ready Player One 4. A Quiet Place 5. 13 Hours: Teh Secret Soldiers of Benghazi 6. Edge of Tomorrow 7. Dune 8. Deepwater Horizon 9. Top Gun: Maverick 10. 1917

@@meshalm6480 Gladiator, Casino, Psycho, Scarface, all the Jurassic Park movies, all the Harry Potter movies, all the Fast & Furious movies have DTS:X.
Great Jeff Thanks for your time putting this video together. I already have some of these movies and agree. The others I'm looking for to check them out.
"If you live in an apartment your neighbors may be calling the cops. If you live in a neighborhood, your neighbors still might be calling the cops." That's exactly what I wanna hear
Check out the atmos track on Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg's film. It was done by some obscure company but, in terms of an intelligent use of atmos and not just loudness, this one really impressed me.
I have a 5.1.2 atmos system but I honestly prefer listening to atmos tracks through my Apple TV with the airpod max headphones. They are amazing for atmos tracks. Yes my system has more punch/bass but for detailed and precise surround and over heads the airpod max take the win. Oh and Gravity is probably my favourite
I have that movie on 4K blu ray. I don't have an atmos system yet. But the sound effects is amazing in the film and the bass is unreal. Right from the start it thumps with the sound of Godzilla.
thanks for the top ten list, just upgraded to a new system buying an LG S90TR soundbar to go with my LG C3 55 inch 4k oled evo tv and first movie i watched was twister and it sounds amazing with a soundbar
Great video Jeff. There will always be differences of opinion but your list definitely includes some awesome films. I also pay attention to the comments and have those on my list.
Shoutout to Mad MAX: Furiosa. I know it is not out yet, but if it is even close to what the streaming version was (and it should be better), we are in for a treat. Fury Road was amazing, but Furiosa is on an entire new level. Top Gun Maverick was just "OK". I felt like they could of done so much better in certain scenes, like where the jet took off the carrier for the first time... it just did not hit hard, very washed out. Great list, thanks as always Jeff.
Pretty excellent list overall (even though I wouldn't have Twister anywhere near a top 20 for audio), but you clearly haven't watched Civil War yet... I have all of the films on this list, and Civil War absolutely beats all of them in terms of having the most immersive and realistic Atmos experience. You know, there's something to be said about the kind of roller coaster experience you can have with Atmos, but a lot of the films do not come off as realistic. They might be "fun", but they just don't place you inside the setting. Civil War does unlike any other film I've seen so far.
Hey @jeffRauseo I love your content and the fact that you make these thorough detail reviews on these movies we love, it always a joy to watch. I have a question, I have been thinking of getting a 4K tv but I can’t choose between the two options. Which of the two is better, Samsung or Sony when it comes to 4K experience with movies? Also I mainly collect blu rays, I haven’t gotten into the 4K blu ray movies yet. However I heard that there’s a special 4K upscaling blu ray players that can take your standard blu ray 1080p disc to 4K quality, is this true and what blu ray player would you recommend to have this effect? If anyone else knows please feel free to help me out! Cheers!
I watched Godzilla X Kong last night and the Atmos on that movie is insanely rich! It's a real treat. I can't wait for my Twister SteelBook to finally show up so I can revel in its goodness.
It really suits war movies. Especially ones with helicopters. Apocalypse now stands out for me not just for the war element but the jungle scenes you really feel like your there with the wind the leaves the bugs and wildlife. It really got me looking g behind me at times thinking bugs were flying around my living room.
I have Soundbar Samsung hw something. And with dolby atmos i can litterly feel the kick. And the soundbar is sooo good. Im using ps5 as 4k player. Love it. 65inch tv. I can say The new hunger games in dolby atmos is insane! Even just with a soundbar.
I agree with your list but I got one that is my favorite one as far as dolby atmos sound!!! It is 2012 in 4k blu ray!!!!I It has the most active ATMOS I have ever experienced in my home theater setup!!!!!!!!!!! Have you had a chance to watch it in this format??????????????????
I have a noisy road near my house. A quiet place won't work because most movies have quiet scenes. When it is silent, the sound is filled in by the traffic outside the house.
Great list. Blade Runner 2049 is still a go-to for me but I know you've already got a villeneuve film on your list. He gets it done but BR2049 is just a better movie than Dune (for me). SPR is essential go-to for me as well. I'm also rocking SVS subs too. Cheers!
DTS:X is far better than Dolby Atmos. It’s just not widely used by most releases and it’s so underrated. I dare say even a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 is better than Dolby Atmos. Especially when you up mix it to 7.1 surround sound. I just find DTS as a whole have more powerful base and surround sound mixing in general. Just watch Gladiator 4K, Jurassic Park 4K or the Harry Potter movies in 4K and you’ll know what I mean. But you should have at least a soundbar to test it, otherwise you might not notice much.
@@AlSumait That's a ridiculous statement. Both do the same thing, basically. It depends on the sound mix. Some Atmos mixes (Disney) have weak bass and a lazy static mix, and some are reference quality that will blow your windows out. Same with DTS-X. The sound designers can make the mix sound any way they want. Nothing to do with the format. Nolan's 5.1 mixes sound better than most Atmos and DTS-X mixes.
@@bassage13 Well, then why are most DTS 5.1 tracks are far superior than a lot of Dolby tracks? Yes, I agree that every track is mixed in a certain way depending on the sound designers. But comparing both formats, with my experience having multiple surround sound setups and powerful high end soundbars over the years, I have come to a conclusion that DTS produce way more superior tracks than what Dolby has. I also agree that it has nothing to do with the formats themselves, I’m just speaking from a ratio standpoint between what both have provided over the past few years and DTS has provided more in quantity and quality. Although, I still really enjoy Dolby Atmos and is a really excellent format, I just prefer DTS overall and rightfully so.
@@AlSumait i know it probably isn't the same but DTSX headphones audio is great to. I wish more movies would include it, sounds so much more immersive than Atmos
Midway's first attack scene has deep, guttural bass that I've yet to hear rivaled by other movies. Its that butt shaking bass you don't hear but feel intensely
What sound system do you use to experience Dolby Atmos? Soundbar or stereo? Also, I don’t think my QLED Samsung can output Atmos, what TV would you recommend? I have 55 inch now and am looking to get 75 or larger for basement theater. Thanks for suggestions!

thanks for the top ten list, just upgraded to a new system buying an LG S90TR soundbar to go with my LG C3 55 inch 4k oled evo tv and first movie i watched was twister and it sounds amazing with a soundbar
Need to watch last voyage of the demeter . It has out standing atmos
Great video Jeff. There will always be differences of opinion but your list definitely includes some awesome films. I also pay attention to the comments and have those on my list.
Hey man, love your videos! Can you make a similar one on DTS-X too?
Nice list, thank you Jeff.
Mad Max Fury Road should have got at least a special mention
Totally agree, a serious omission!
Great list. I wonder how you feel about the movie Fury?
Awesome video as usual Jeff, got most of these luckily lol
I would add "Sole Survivor". The 4k DTSX disc is GREAT.
Shoutout to Mad MAX: Furiosa. I know it is not out yet, but if it is even close to what the streaming version was (and it should be better), we are in for a treat. Fury Road was amazing, but Furiosa is on an entire new level. Top Gun Maverick was just "OK". I felt like they could of done so much better in certain scenes, like where the jet took off the carrier for the first time... it just did not hit hard, very washed out.
Great list, thanks as always Jeff.
Pretty excellent list overall (even though I wouldn't have Twister anywhere near a top 20 for audio), but you clearly haven't watched Civil War yet...
I have all of the films on this list, and Civil War absolutely beats all of them in terms of having the most immersive and realistic Atmos experience.
You know, there's something to be said about the kind of roller coaster experience you can have with Atmos, but a lot of the films do not come off as realistic. They might be "fun", but they just don't place you inside the setting. Civil War does unlike any other film I've seen so far.
Hey @jeffRauseo I love your content and the fact that you make these thorough detail reviews on these movies we love, it always a joy to watch. I have a question, I have been thinking of getting a 4K tv but I can’t choose between the two options. Which of the two is better, Samsung or Sony when it comes to 4K experience with movies? Also I mainly collect blu rays, I haven’t gotten into the 4K blu ray movies yet. However I heard that there’s a special 4K upscaling blu ray players that can take your standard blu ray 1080p disc to 4K quality, is this true and what blu ray player would you recommend to have this effect? If anyone else knows please feel free to help me out! Cheers!
I watched Godzilla X Kong last night and the Atmos on that movie is insanely rich! It's a real treat. I can't wait for my Twister SteelBook to finally show up so I can revel in its goodness.
I just bought that on 4k last Sunday, and I will watch it this weekend. Looking forward to it.
13Hrs -damn good movie!
It really suits war movies. Especially ones with helicopters. Apocalypse now stands out for me not just for the war element but the jungle scenes you really feel like your there with the wind the leaves the bugs and wildlife. It really got me looking g behind me at times thinking bugs were flying around my living room.
Can we get a list of best audio mixed movies no matter the codec??
Everest is good also
This is a great video to know about high quality movies have you watched the 4k of San Andreas because I know the bluray has amazing sound
13 hours is a beast
Tim Burton's Batman sounds incredible in Atmos.
I have Soundbar Samsung hw something. And with dolby atmos i can litterly feel the kick. And the soundbar is sooo good.
Im using ps5 as 4k player. Love it. 65inch tv.
I can say
The new hunger games in dolby atmos is insane!
Even just with a soundbar.
I agree with your list but I got one that is my favorite one as far as dolby atmos sound!!! It is 2012 in 4k blu ray!!!!I It has the most active ATMOS I have ever experienced in my home theater setup!!!!!!!!!!! Have you had a chance to watch it in this format??????????????????
I have a noisy road near my house. A quiet place won't work because most movies have quiet scenes. When it is silent, the sound is filled in by the traffic outside the house.
That would be A Noisy Place.
@@OldHarryRocks Lol oh yea. They need to make one where the Aliens need loud noise constantly to keep them calm.
Great list. Blade Runner 2049 is still a go-to for me but I know you've already got a villeneuve film on your list. He gets it done but BR2049 is just a better movie than Dune (for me). SPR is essential go-to for me as well. I'm also rocking SVS subs too. Cheers!
I curious on Twister atmos sound? Is it different from the 1080p atmos version which available last few years or totally mew upgrade?
I'm curious why Hacksaw Ridge is not in your top list
Can I get some recommendations for a great almost system , budget 2-3k
13 Lives is pretty awesome. The underwater cave scenes nearly make me panic a little. Not sure if there is a 4k blu ray though.
War for the Planet of the Apes and The Invisible Man are some other great ones to add.
Will Black Hawk Down actually work with a full 9.2.6 setup? Or will it downgrade to a 9.2.2 like Ready Player One and some other "Atmos" mixes.
Do you rate DTS-X and does it compare to Dolby Atmos?
I notice some 4k blu-rays opting for that track
DTS:X is far better than Dolby Atmos. It’s just not widely used by most releases and it’s so underrated. I dare say even a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 is better than Dolby Atmos. Especially when you up mix it to 7.1 surround sound. I just find DTS as a whole have more powerful base and surround sound mixing in general. Just watch Gladiator 4K, Jurassic Park 4K or the Harry Potter movies in 4K and you’ll know what I mean. But you should have at least a soundbar to test it, otherwise you might not notice much.
@@AlSumait That's a ridiculous statement. Both do the same thing, basically. It depends on the sound mix. Some Atmos mixes (Disney) have weak bass and a lazy static mix, and some are reference quality that will blow your windows out. Same with DTS-X. The sound designers can make the mix sound any way they want. Nothing to do with the format. Nolan's 5.1 mixes sound better than most Atmos and DTS-X mixes.
@@bassage13 Well, then why are most DTS 5.1 tracks are far superior than a lot of Dolby tracks? Yes, I agree that every track is mixed in a certain way depending on the sound designers. But comparing both formats, with my experience having multiple surround sound setups and powerful high end soundbars over the years, I have come to a conclusion that DTS produce way more superior tracks than what Dolby has. I also agree that it has nothing to do with the formats themselves, I’m just speaking from a ratio standpoint between what both have provided over the past few years and DTS has provided more in quantity and quality. Although, I still really enjoy Dolby Atmos and is a really excellent format, I just prefer DTS overall and rightfully so.
@@AlSumait i know it probably isn't the same but DTSX headphones audio is great to. I wish more movies would include it, sounds so much more immersive than Atmos
Midway's first attack scene has deep, guttural bass that I've yet to hear rivaled by other movies. Its that butt shaking bass you don't hear but feel intensely
I encourage you to check out Gemini man. It's the only 4K that I have seen that is in 60 frames per second.
Godzilla Vs Kong is INSANE, Jeffrey. Check it out.
Should also do a Top 10 DTS:X List.
What sound system do you use to experience Dolby Atmos? Soundbar or stereo? Also, I don’t think my QLED Samsung can output Atmos, what TV would you recommend? I have 55 inch now and am looking to get 75 or larger for basement theater. Thanks for suggestions!
When listening to Dolby Atmos, using a soundbar is like listening to an AM radio. Soundbars do nothing.
@@Criner05best soundbars are actually pretty good and I have very good stereo set and my Samsung beat those very well in movies.
Soundbars are good, if ur room is to good to them. Samsung best bars are pretty good.
