Um, here's some

Punisher: War Zone
Mulholland Drive*
Cloverfield (the bridge scene)
LA Confidential
Kill Bill, Vol1*
Panic Room*
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)*
The Incredibles*
Live Free or Die Hard*
Black hawk Down
Mission Impossible 3
Dracula (The lightning! So loud! The DTS Transfer was great!)*
Payback
Donnie Darko (when Donnie was stabbing the mirror)
 ,,, really loud.   *set them up to DTS. surely, your speakers will be tested.


Some are disappointments:
Iron Man
Indiana Jones 4
Sin City (even with DTS on)

I was pleasantly surprised with the surround effects of the carnival scene and the space shootout in Moonraker.

ratatouille....  :D :D :D

Got to see this in BluRay in Alvin THX2's home theater.  This movie will never be the same after that experience.  It was as if that grandma in the early scene was blowing shots right into your chest!!!
