If I had a 'big' B&O TV and 5.1 speakers, the first films I think I'd like to see 'Koyaanisqati' and it's sequel 'Powaqatsi'...

For those who don't know about these, they're 'wordless documentaries' juxtaposing amazing scenes and images from around the globe,with a powerful score by Philip Glass and involving Francis Ford Coppola in production.  They blew me away when I first saw them in the 80's & 90's at the cinema, and I think they're now available on Blu-Ray.  It's a bit of an 'arty', suggestion, but even fast-forwarding through to the best scenes & music should give your screen, speakers and brain a treat!

Interstellar on Avant 55 was magical. The scenes when the spaceship was shaking sat the Avant on work, both with audio and vision (a true AudioVision). Really good bass, even with just the internal speakers.

In addition to what was listed here Godzilla was great with the BL19, BL1 and 11-55. Last night I watched Mad Max, and that visually stunning and the BL19 had a great workout.

Not sure if i had mentioned it earlier but Apocalypse Now was superb - you could hear the helicopters coming in from one side to the other. 

Since I have had the setup i have not gone to the cinema. IMAX in 3D still cannot be replicated at home, but everything else I rather have popcorn in my living room.

Into the Wild by Sean Penn. A beautiful true story, fantastic sound track and scenery to boot.

Quiet, restrained, stark.  Beautiful.  Some may find the subject matter challenging.
