Can anyone describe the sound diffrences between these two,i have heard they are both warm, are there any more diffrences? Also what brand is better for Movies? the models im looking at are the Marantz sr-6400 and H/k 430.

All I know about these is anecdoltal from using other models from both manufacturers previously and from reading lots of reviews.The marantz will have more detail and a better midrange presentation.I think the marantz is a better receiver.If your speakers are good(which i think they are)I think you will get better sound using the marantz.
the main difference between these two recievers is that one has 6 channels of amp 1 rear center (the marantz) and the other has 7 so it has 2 rear centers (the h/k).
i like both the marantz units and the h/k's when i was lookin into recievers i choose the hk 525 versus it's marantz counterpart but it was close they do sound very simular.
i liked the 7 channels (not needed) but i liked it.
also the hk unit's are generally quite heavier than the other units with larger power supplies and more amperage than most.
sometimes they will be rated much lower wattage wise than others but they are still heavier and produce more amperage (you do the math)!
