Best dvd movies for surround sound

Just got my system up and hopefully running Onkyo 905 mezzo 6's a mezzo centre and mezzo sub, I would like to hear what I have just spent all this cash on and would like some of the forum members to recomend some movies that will make me appreciate the surround sound system. I know I am probably in the wrong place to post this but I'm sure someone will pick up on this and recomend a few movies, cheers. Not got a blu ray player yet but am still looking at the denon 2500 transport, or can someone recomend something around the same spec.

Lord of the Rings and Master and Commander would be a good start.

Re: Best dvd movies for surround sound

"The Haunting" with Liam Neeson dts-ES track is one of the very best on regular DVD..the bass in some scenes is just phenomenal. I had the DVD while living in the U.S. There were 2 versions of the DVD available- one with Dolby and the other with DTS (front cover of the DVD had the DTS-ES logo in red)...not sure if it is the same in the UK.
