This is a list of DVDs that has support for Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, and DTS 6.1. This is for REGION 3 DVDs only. If you're looking for Region 1 list, you can find it here: http://www.homecinemaworld.com/software/dts_es_and_dd_ex_dvds.html
A.I. - DD EX
Phantom Menace - DD EX
Attack of the Clones - DD EX
According to Matzer's post:
Die Another Day
Old Boy
HOFD
Chicken Run - DTS ES
Before adding a title to this list, make sure you're not just looking at the R1 DVD list floating around the web, because a lot of R1 titles have 6.1/ES/EX that their R3 version don't. We usually get the crippled version.

The Perfect Storm is recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 EX format as well :)

Top Gun Collector's Edition 2-Disc- according to the case may DTS ES siya

Dolby Digital EX is usually identified by your receiver if the EX flag is enabled on the DVD. If you have a 6.1 or 7.1 setup, you'll realize that many DVDs from 2000/2001 upwards are EX encoded. And even if they're not, your receiver will still treat them like EX DVDs by automatically matricing the sound across your rear channel(s). Your receiver display will give you the right information. Doesn't matter if it's an R1 or R3 release since the studios don't usually re-encode English language Dolby audio across regions.
I'd like to emphasize that Dolby EX for HT isn't true 6.1 unlike DTS-ES. It simply extends the 5.1 surround field to use additional speakers located behind you creating a matrixed 6.1 or 7.1 listening experience.

Wala pong DTS-ES track ang Chicken Run (at least the ones sold locally). It was a misprint. In fact sa Landmark, tinapalan nila yung DTS-ES logo.
