The opening scene in M&C is amazing. The sounds of the ship creaking seem to be coming from overhead at times.

Another movie that I reach for for a system check is "Transporter." It does not seem to have reached a lot of people's short list, like M&C, Gladiator and U571, but it's very well mastered and really shines on a good surround sound system. Like M&C, it's got good low bass as well as sweeping sound effects.
