What Happened to Active Stereo & Surround?

In the 1950's, speakers' voices were located Left & right
depending on screen location. In Star Trek (TNG), doors slid open to the
right or left speaker depending on which side the character
entered from. Northern Exposure's surround allowed separate table conversations
to occur in the bar while the main characters talked from
the front speakers.
Most current television & movies use stereo & surround for a fuller
sound, but rarely to show location. Rear speakers are for sound effects & music only. Stereo is not used for location of sound sources.
While a few archival cd's artificially locate instruments
in one speaker, & the vocalist in another, most do not currently use stereo for accurate source location.

I imagine there are dvd's of 50's musicals for example,
that use stereo for dialogue. I remember my then teenage
son being excited by "Thriller" locating different instruments in
different speakers.
Are there cd's or dvd's that still reflect location by
stereo & surround?
