If sound check has been disabled, your system volume is at a reasonable volume and your itunes volume is at top, there is the chance like some instances that the mastering of the film has used a different mixing config. this means that the volume does not match the normal setting we are all used to.
take as an example a DVD. each DVD is mastered differently, using different mixing consoles, production hardware and software, so in turn, the overall sound mix is different each time, unless the studio engineer has a default setup in automation. oh well. now to strangle windows XP. Don't ask why I'm even touching this filthy software....
