In my mind you can get excellent results from stereo with movies. Don't get me wrong, surround is nice & I really enjoy it with action movies, but if watch dramas, the surround can be dispensed with.

If you are in a small space you can also get along fine with stereo for movies.

The center was added to "tie" the dialogue which is mono to the screen. But with a correctly set up system with speakers that image nicely you can by without it, as rico points out.

Just for the record, I do use surround, cause I watch lots of action movies. I also use a center, because that works in my space better than without.
