Favorite HT demo scene from a movie?

What do others think the best scene from a movie is to demo an HT setup? I don't yet have a DVD player but my current VHS demos are both from Die Hard 3. The first is the store explosion in the first scene for sound staging and detail and the second is the dump trucks driving up to the other explosion site for deep bass. leo.

i'm kinda' surprised no one's mentioned toy story 1 or 2. i saw bits of these at ces 2001 played directly from hard drive and they were simply the most 3-dimensional pictures i've ever seen. i agree with sdcampbell on stop making sense as the best concert movie/dvd ever made. -cfb

I have to second the Star Wars Phantom Menace pod racing scene. I've never heard such good sound come out of my 5.1 system. It seems to my ears they engineered that DVD so you can turn it up loud.

gotta add my votes for the shoot 'em up scene in the matrix, pod race, and the diva in the 5th element.
