Recommendations for Testing HT

Any recommendations on good DVDs to test out my new HT setup? Movies that also have good storylines would be good. It's only a 5.1 setup, so anything more than that is overkill. What are your favorites?
 
Saving Private Ryan FOR SURE!!!! the beach landing scene is insane!!
Matrix
Fast and the Furious
Blackhawk Down
Blade II
8 Mile is good for low bass
Eagles When hell freezes over is good for music
 
Saving Private Ryan
Matrix
Terminator
Gone in 60 secs
LOTR
Dune - origional - the "thumpers" test some serous bass

For music

Toss in some old Metallica
Tool
any metal type band

The Who is good for testing sorrounds
 
ok

LOTR:FOTR EE (ring drop, battle in the caves of moria)
SW EP 1 (pod race scene)
SW EP 2 (intro of amidala's cruise ship, asteriod showdown)
The Bourne Identity (entire movie is a demo disc)
Titan AE (ice crystal scene)
Final Fantasy (dream scene)
Matrix (morpheus knee drop, lobby shootout till helicopter explosion)
Blue Crush (intense bass scenes)
Toy Story 2 (first 5 mins)
Jurassic Park 3 (T-rex vs Uberdinosaur)
SPR DTS (ohma beach, and last 20 of movie)
