Flight of the Phoenix, sand storm scene. Pretty impressive!
The "Skidoosh" scene at the end of Kung Fu Panda. If your sub sucks, it will completely bottom out! Short but impressive.

I'd recommend Blu-Ray for all of these:
Monsters Inc. (the sock explosion)
Master and Commander (cannon attack scene)
Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4) - Really any action scene.
Terminator Salvation (again, any action scene)
Transformers 2 has some serious bass. (just start the movie, and then any of the robot battles)

I loved the audio in “Terminator: Salvation” on Blu-ray. You should check out the “So what ‘animie’ are you watching tonight?” thread more often. 
Where this movie really shines is the soundtrack. The best workout my sound system has ever had. It’s got everything, big bass, all sorts of direct and ambient sound effects. It’s pretty much going on all the time so it’s not just a few scenes here and there that benefit but almost the whole movie.
So I second or third . . . whatever we’re up to “Terminator: Salvation” especially considering it’s not just one or two good bass scenes it’s all through the movie.

I am waiting to watch any action movie till I am in the new house, have to give it the proper shake down  Been there and doin it now. After re-watching a movie I realized I’m going to have many movies I need to go back and watch again now that I can play them at a “reasonable” volume.

The movie I like to use to set up a new sub is Jurassic Park 3 in dts - also use it to show off, everything just rattles and you feel them walking in the pit of your stomach it's just awesome

Adding another one after screening the Blu-Ray for Public Enemies. There's a gunfight in the woods after around 1 hr 25 mins... awesome sound. Also some other fun shootouts, and a point where a train comes into the station for a shaking effect.

Maybe I'm fooling myself, but there's a definite upgrade in the sound/bass output on my system with the BRD versions. This is why I'd leave out some of the the typical recommendations of Star Wars, Jurassic Park, LOTR and War of the Worlds until those show up on BRD (for showpiece demonstrations of your system, anyway.)

I would also add Valkyrie (Blu-ray) and Black Hawk Down (Blu-ray) to reference material.
