For sound there are a few good ones.  Minority Report, the scene in the car factory is good and Bourne Identity the Mini car chash scene both have killer sound.  Fast and the Furious too.  For video I like to put on Shark Tale because it looks so damn clean and crisp.  Some good for video and sound are Top Gun, Matrix Reloaded, Lord of the Rings, and Half Baked http://www.owndbyforce.com/forums/images/smiles/pot-06.gif

I always use the Matrix rooftop scene to test the seperate surrounds.  I’d imagine that Monsters or Nemo would make good video tests too.  :think:

I don’t have an HDTV yet, but whenever my friend wants to show off his 52” TV he uses the battle scene from The Two Towers. It makes me envious of his 52”.  :lol:

Finding Nemo for the TV quality.

Chicken Run for the sound quality (the part where the fire goes all around in a circle)

Oddly enough, I use games. God of war has moved into the new “tester”, cause of the ship creaking, things growling, etc at all angles. The way i see it, if you’re playing god of war without surround sound, you’re at a real disadvantage.
