To show off the QS8s I'd recommend "Master and Commander" or perhaps "The Patriot".

There is tons of movies to show off your system. For obvious surround I like to show: Heat (the shooting scene and the airport scene), Star Wars the phantom menace (pod race), The Matrix (from the lobby scene to the explosion of the helicopter), The Matrix Reloaded (car chase), The Matrix Revolution (fight against the machines), and so many more...
For ambiance surround, LOTR trilogy, King Kong, Avatar and one of my favorites is Seven (the New Line Entertainment master), the surrounds are active throughout the whole movie filling the room with ambiance.

For both picture and sound quality.
Inception (Blu-ray), Avatar (Blu-ray), Kung Fu Panda (Blu-ray), I-Robot (Blu-ray), Die Hard: Live Free or Die Hard (Blu-ray), Iron Man 1&2 (Blu-ray), The Dark Night (Blu-ray).

If you like westerns 'Open Range' is a good flick with an excellent shootout scene that really shows off the capabilities of the QS surrounds ... in VHS, of course.
