Some of the classic "panning" scenes are in the DTS versions of Casper and Dragonheart.

Casper has very good panning throughout the movie, I think the new DTS demo disk at CES showed the scene where Ricci went through the automated "get ready" ride.

Dragonheart has a nice scene where the dragon flies circles around Quaid saying something about the "old code".

Those were my reference tracks, at least in the days of laserdiscs.

I crank up my surrounds about 3-4 db. The movie "The Shadow" has some great ricocheting gunshots that are distinctly from the surrounds in the first New York scene on the bridge when the bad guys are about to dump the professor in the drink with cement overshoes. I use Mirage HTD-Rs for the surround speakers.

I boost my surrounds a dB or 2 also....just a little added ooomph!
I almost always leave ( or change to) 6.1 with most soundtracks....DTS-ES or Dolby Digital ES...I like adding that little extra with 6.1 / 7.1 surrounds if possible........
"Final Fantasy The Spirits Within" has a rip roaring soundtrack....give it a try.......
