v2 version of 'Flight of the Phoenix' has always been one of my favorites for great sound in a movie ... the part towards the beginning of the movie where Dennis Quaid is chocking the wheels after shutdown and when you can hear the hot metal of the engine cooling and contracting is dead on from what a radial engine sounds like after shutdown.
Master and Commander has awesome sound effects and is an equally awesome movie, LOTR, Iron Man or most any of the newer movies will do you right with the effects.
