I am very fond of my Texas Chainsaw Massacre R2. Maybe it is just a perfect fit for my speakers, but the sound always makes it sound like it is all going on right the hell in my living room.
Gladiator also sounds particularly great.

Wanted: Good DVD's with incredible audio tracks...
What DVD's have really stellar audio tracks whether it be DTS or 5.1 Dolby?
One that you might use to show off the audio capabilities of your system and also....a DVD with a movie that is good, but is made better simply by such an overwhelmingly fantastic audio track.
I like big bang for buck and want to see if I am missing some...one example that I thought of in my collection was "Daredevil". I know it got panned, but I thought it was a pretty good movie and the sound just blew me away.
Any others?? Thanks for help.

This movie may not fit in with the rest of the action/adventure types that others have listed, but I was in a store the other day and they were using "Drumline" to demonstrate a new Bose audio system. It sounded so realistic that people in the store were looking outside into the parking lot for a marching band. I've seen the movie and it was kind of lame and pretty predictable, but the performances were cool.

Super Speedway
Chicken Run
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
Jurassic Park
U-571
The Haunting
LOTR: FOTR EE
LOTR: TTT EE
Star Wars: Ep.1
Star Wars: Ep.2

Definitely agree with T3 in R3. The DTS track kicks ass.
If you're not looking for a make-you-deaf experience, A Tale of Two Sisters and PTU have two of the best DTS tracks I've heard, especially A Tale of Two Sisters. These are two movies where you definitely miss out big time if you don't have a surround system.
I also remember the Minority Report track being pretty sweet.
