I remember the first time I heard a DTS soundtrack... it was "Independence Day" on laserdisc... I was blown away!

Another thing I remember, when I started to buy DVD (i was "forced" to do it, just because we had only 300 PAL italian titles to choose from) was the fact that AC3 5.1 soundtracks on DVDs, that all magazines of the time called "the definitive home theater experience", were infact weaker (a lot weaker) than the simples PCM italian soundtrack...

Obviously, there is NO definitive better soundtrack... it depends from mix type, mix quality, type of movie... when we watch a classic 1940's movie, we aspect a mono sountrack, while a modern 1990's action movie should "pump up the volume", possibly with a 5.1 soundtrack...
