The scene in The Incredibles where they are getting chased through the jungle is awfully good. This is the scene I was going to suggest. I love to bring that scene up for myself every so often; I don't need to be demoing for anyone.

Any scenes people can think of that would highlight sound level differences (light talking -> action -> dialog again)?

I'd add the Tree crash, EARTHQUAKE, and final pipe organish filler at the end of "The Mist" to the LFE list. Takes you buy surprise.

The beginning sequence to LOTR, narration, then fight- scene which contains good LFE and surround effects, and then more narration.

all of the cartoon type movies are great: CARS, Ice Age... Pearl Harbor is pretty awesome for sound effects. Saving Private Ryan isn't out on BluRay so it's good for sound. I also like all the Bourne movies: Ultimatum is great. Here's a web site you might want to bookmark if you have BluRay: http://www.hidefpreview.com/index.html- JD

I hated to add it because it used to be mentioned so often in different places but "War of the Worlds", tripod rising from underground, is definitely one of a sub woofer's worst nightmares.

I'll second 'The Mist', I wasnt expeting the amount of LFE output coming from that 'sort of B class' movie. BTW: the movie is very good.
