Favorite HT demo scene from a movie?

True Lies-opening scene and the helicopter scene with Jamie Lee Curtis hanging out of the limo (which by the way she did herself with no stunt double)...Phantom Menace-Pod race and the underwater scene...Close encounters of the third kind-the scene where the mother ship flies over the mountain and lands on the runway...Planet of the apes(the new one)-the battle at the end of the movie....saving private ryan-the opening battle on the beach....Heat(with Al Pacino)-the gun fight after the bank robbery....Fight Club-the scene when the plane blows apart...Apocolypse Now(remastered version)-the air-cav. attack...Cast Away-the plane crashig into the ocean....Big Trouble in little china(dts)-the alley fight with the storms...and all the scenes that everyone else has listed...

Thanks everyone! It's gonna take me a while to look through all those. :-) leo.

A scene that will give you an idea of detail, high frequency response, and low frequency response is the scene from Jurassic Park where the cast is caught in the vehicles during the power outage and the T-rex is about to make its first appearance. The rain offset by the low bass thump from the T-rex footstep works both ends of a system simultaneously. A really good system will put the footstep under the rain which is just sizzling on the metal car surfaces & windows.

True Lies has some good surround sequences.

Both of the newly remastered Terminator movies have good surround sequences.

The scene in Lawrence of Arabia where the airplane comes out of the canyon is really fun as it approaches and flies past overhead transitioning from the front speakers to the rear and then going off into the distance.
