2 Questions,
1. Which film has best overall use of sound- a combination of good speaking on the part of the actors, excellent editing and a soundtrack that complements the film?
2. Which one aspect of this film is the best aurally?
My answers...
1. Pi.
2. The scene where he's freaking out on the subway and that high pitched noise comes in when he prods the brain.

Yeah Pi has very good sound !!!
Allso Starwars ::Just read the topic "OMG that sound in Episode II"
A good example of the amazing sounds in the starwars movies.
Heat:: The big shoot out on the streets is amazing soundwise.
The Alien movies::lots of cool sounds Listen to the guns , very original sound that really describes the "high speed" of the firing.

It's bent. I have it on DVD and I have a surround system, but none of the DVD player software I have seems to work with it. I did used to have some DVD software where it worked, but after the "upgrade" (which it won't let me roll back from) I have an inferior player w/o dolby 5.1 support.

Yeah the big heat shootout is probably my favourite scene of any film.

It's the sheer length of it and the raw feel to it. It doesn't feel like some Hollywood shootout to me.

oooh allso the scene with the cave troll in Lord Of The Rings has very clever use of sound.
The music stops during the action and that makes it more intense and scary .
And the music starts again when Frodo gets hit , and the effect is very dramatic.
Clever man that Peter Jackson.
A similar "non music" effect is used in Bravehart and Saving Private Ryan during the blody battle scenes for a more intense and realistic effect.
Maybe Jackson was inspired by that?

I love his film Braindead. The cheesy music sets the tone of the film so well. It's great

Pi: I agree with what Ceri said.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Towards the end when Chow's character and the princess are fighting in the trees. The sounds their swords make when everything goes into slow motion is nice, I think.

Yes that scene is very cool !!! It would be nice to be able to fool the laws of gravity like they do from time to time in the movie.

The Life Of Brian - the song at the end: "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"
To me, that scene says more about the human condition than other film I've seen. Don't ask me exactly what it says, but I just think it's incredibly poignant and I always feel like crying when I watch it. And it's funny, rather than being a load of pretentious bullshit like a lot of other films I could mention.

Ceri, when I read your questions I was thinking of the exact scene from 'Pi' that you mentioned before I scrolled down to see that you had written it.

The sound of the lightsabers in the Star Wars movies. Two whole generations have run around cutting their friends to pieces whilst imitating the classic "Pswooshhh Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
I think it qualifies as one of the best sound effects ever in cinema.
