Hey folks - I have an Atmos project that I'm working on with the help of Trinnov. I'm looking to pull together a collection of Atmos films and would like some input from the community on what they think are the best Atmos films to date. A film can be Blu-ray or 4K BD. Doesn't matter... but, obviously, it must have a Dolby Atmos track that you appreciate. The quality of a movie's plot, visuals, etc are inconsequential.

So, what are your favorite Atmos films purely from an audio perspective?

That’s a healthy list, thanks for sharing. I haven’t watched Morbius… or Monster Hunter!

If you are interested in a recent release title free of the standard car crashes, explosions, superheroes, starships, etc, (you know, one that DJ would never even attempt to watch. :bigsmile:) my wife picked up Tár a few days ago via Kaleidescape. We watched it twice in the theaters and once this week at home. The Atmos is very impressive for this particular genre of film. In particular, there are maybe 2-3 hardcore turn-your-head-what-the #@# were those sound moments. Very impressive.

Interesting. Great Atmos doesn't necessarily have to come from brainless action movies!

I would also add The Eternal Daughter. The Amos was outstanding in the cinema. It is also available via K for home viewing. Perfect pre holiday ghost story.
