Looking for movies to show off subs

The title says it all:) I'm looking for a few clips of movies that I'll probably string together to show off what my setup sounds like. Problem is, other than "Sub U-571/ depthcharge scene" and "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy/waterfall scene" I can't remember any others offhand. I tried using the Search button (obviously) but after searching "movie(s)", "sub", "example", and a host of others I got nothing. Any more ideas?

    Google Kungfu Panda skidoosh:

    "It's at the end of the movie when Kung Fu Panda says "skidoosh"...A large kaboom of sorts follows. You can't miss it."

    Look here for others:
    http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1085027

    "The skidoosh scene is fun, but if you really want to torture your subwoofer there are better scenes (in other movies) to put it under pressure.

    War of the Worlds, Incredible Hulk, The Haunting, Pulse, Flight of the Phoenix, Titan AE, etc."

    Here's another thread on the same subject:

    I think there is a thread about this somewhere in the movies section. But anyways the part in "The Crazies) when the one woman is looking for her husband in the barn and the combine is running:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I thought my house was gonna come crashing down. It's early on in the movie.
    I love animals, they're delicious!

    Underworld rise of the Lycans. Is pretty good the is a stampede scene that will definitely shake the house.
    Also there are several scenes in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief.

    Why do you feel the need to show off your subs?Just curious,this type of behavior fascinates me.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    My wife likes showing off our HT to friends, she especially likes the parts where it'll make the couch shake (for reasons I don't understand). ;)

    For the topic. There are parts in "War Inc" that'll get things shaking.

    Is it just me or maybe I had my settings wrong, but in my HT Death Race bluray didn't really have much in the way of demo-worthy bass. Great movie though

    "The Matrix" has always been one of my favorites, to "show off my subs and surrounds". The scene towards the end when they walk into the security check point and Reeves opens his coat with 20 guns strapped to him. You not only have the pounding bass but the gun shoots and shells really showing what surround can do. There is good separation in left-right rear with the shoots and shells. Also when he is shooting from the copter and all the shells are falling

    As Mentioned the "Pearl Harbor" attack scene.

    "The Abyss". This was real common in the early days for A/V stores to play in their show off room.
    System:
    Samsung LN46C630
    Receiver: Yamaha RX-V1
    DVD/Blu: Denon 2910/Playstation 3
    Front mains: RT16
    Front presence: F/X 500i
    Center: CS400
    Rear surrounds: RT1000p
    Rear center: RT7

    Horton hears a whoo. The Banana bomb.

    The short animated movie"Surviving Sid" that comes on before Ice Age 3 I believe.
    The making of the Grand Canyon.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
