Kill Bil Vol 1 DTS
Of cours all of the best examples are going to be from films your wife is unlikely to find tremendously appealing. If that were the case, she wouldn't need a demo in the first place.
Maybe a concert like Eagles Hell Freezes Over DTS or Sting: Brand New Day Tour?
Why don't people just take "so and so" to their local electronics store where there is always a surround sound scenario set up with choice demos scenes of some of the best examples in just a few minutes?

If you're not region-free, the sparring between Michelle Yeoh and Zhang ZiYi towards the end of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Superbit is pretty good.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
"Older" releases still rule for me: U-571, T-2: UE, Air Force One
More wife friendly choices may be: Bug's Life/Toy Story (I/II)/Finding Nemo, Moulin Rouge

The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots DVD-A - Hands down, the most amazing surround mix that you're going to hear (of course, you need to be DVD-A ready).
But, if you need a movie, any of the above will do fine... I'm also partial to Das Boot Superbit - DTS track (pick one of the damaged sub scenes, the dripping water sounds like it's right in your lap) and FOTR EE - DTS Track.
For a good sub workout, U-571 is probably your best bet.
For a more subtle approach, the DTS track on Se7en Platinum Series.

Actually, I liked that thread . . . it is the first one that really gave me a feel for the personality of this forum. I'm still here, so obviously I didn't take it too hard.

There is nothing like FOTR and TT in DTS-ES. With a good system this sound will challenge the best theaters (leaving alone front-only systems)

This is the DVD that got me going back and doing a lot more A/B comparisons between DD and DTS. Pretty surprising how many DD tracks have noticably lower extension in the LFE department. Even big releases like the LOTR's series, although the difference isn't anywere near what's present on Pearl Harbor. It's only noticable in a few spots. The DTS tracks on those tend to be very slightly crisper so it's a trade off on what you like I guess.
