“The Iron Giant”
Great family animation with SERIOUS bass,
including strong peaks below 25 Hz. Jump to:
1.
“Chase thru the forest” Scene 8 (20:00 into the movie)
2.
“Robot Landing” (Train Impact) Scene 10 (25:40)
3.
“Green Boom” Scene 27 (1:11:40)
•
“
Antz”
Another good family movie, though not perhaps for small
children. Extremely loud bass above 30 Hz.
“Terror from Above”, Scene 17 (51:48)
•
“The Matrix”
Modern, violent, science fiction classic with plenty
of shoot-’em-up bass blasts. Here’s some subtle and not so subtle.
1. “Where we are grown”, Scene 12 (42:55)
2. “Landing in fight”, Scene 15 (50:51)
3. “Chopper shootout”, Scene 31 (1:47:15)
•
“Das Boot”
Arguably one of the best war pictures of all time with
bass approaching 20 Hz. Very loud, very intense.
1.
“Depth charges”, Scene 21 (59:30)
2.
“Storm surfing”, Scene 25 (1:15:15)
3.
“Hitting bottom”, Scene 17 (53:15, Side “B”)
•
“Apollo 13”
Moving story, with some surprisingly subtle but re-
vealing bass where it counts.
1. “Lift off”, Scene 13 (35:15)
2. “Coming home”, Scene 53 (2:05:43)
