My goto HT tests have always included Fantasia and 2001 a Space Odyssey. The "Night on Bald Mountain" in Fantasia will definitely let you know what your sound system can, or can't do. Ditto for Kubrick's film, which combines wide angle shots with a Strauss soundtrack.
I also like using The Battle of Britain. There's no CGI rubbish. The engine roars and machine gun fire are both very realistic at high volumes.
