They aren't in your collection, but 2 movie scenes that I used when demo-ing my system were:

1. Ratatouille - for substance -
[Show spoiler]The scene where Remy is in the rain - my wife was in the room any she though it had really started raining outside.


2. Saving Private Ryan - both power and substance - Beach in Normandy Invasion Scene. I made my house shake. The dog tried to crawl under the end table beside my couch.


From your collection - Aliens or UP.

Without a doubt, no question, the best audio demo in my Blu-ray collection is:

Burlesque

From the review here on Blu-ray.com:

Quote:
Burlesque features a dazzling, exuberant, powerful, big, crisp, kicking, and spacious monster of a soundtrack. Use whatever adjective comes to mind, but this one really belts out the energy and still has something left in the tank when the movie comes to an end. Sony's DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack will push the best sound systems to their limits with energized music and hard-hitting vocals in every musical tune, and things are just quiet enough in the downtime that the big boys have room to recharge while the center channel handles dialogue like it was made for the movie. Sure the track is obviously jazzed up a bit, but wo cares? It's fun and passionate, an exhilarating listen that's sure to put a smile on listeners's faces even when the movie has them singing the blues. The track also delivers a wonderful spread of city atmospherics; passing cars, honking horns, driving rain, and background music beats coming from a closed-door club all immediately place the listener smack-dab in the middle of Los Angeles. Of course, the track makes excellent use of every speaker to create a seamless 360-degree field of sound during most every segment, both loud and reserved. The low end belts out plenty of accurate and strong but not excessively rumbly or sloppy notes. This is a complete package of a soundtrack, a dazzling listen that's easiy the best part of the Burlesque experience.
I couldn't have said it better myself! Just queue up any of the song performances and prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor!

My second pick would probably be:

Super 8

From the review here:

Quote:
Super 8's Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack is the stuff of Blu-ray legend. This is one stout, enveloping, energized, satisfying, and dare say perfect listen.
Mark

I would definitely say: Salo, when they eat the poop. If your stomach starts turning, you know you have a great sound system!

Quantum of Solace is a good one in a hurry because its LOUD and unbelievably sharp from the second it starts!

Terminator Salvation is another good one for sheer power.

Tron Legacy
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction

Saving Private Ryan. The beach landing scene alone wins it for me.
