The opening battle of Master and Commander is ridiculously good for this.
Also the scene in War of the Worlds when the big walker thing first come out of the ground.
And the Jurassic Park T-REX Scene.
This is all assuming you have a really good sub for maximum impact.

Days of Thunder - when they are standing in the middle of the track as Rowdy is starting his laps. It's right after Robert Duvall says "Now there is a race car driver". The sound goes all the way around the room as the car goes around the track.
This is what I was coming to post.
Almost 30 years later and there is still no better test for a sound system.
I wore that laserdisc out

12 Monkeys - the scene where Bruce Willis is in a cell and someone is talking to him. He asks where they are and as the person answers it goes to the different speakers as he is stating the different places he may be. I may be in the next room, or I may just be in your head, etc, etc, etc. Makes your skin crawl.
Goddamn it how am I agreeing with Tiger Ree????

Another great one if you just want to test audio.
Eagles Hell Freezes Over DVD
Seven Bridges Road is done with no video in full surround.
Turn the lights off, close your eyes and crank that up. It is simply stunning. As if they are sitting in a circle around you.

LOL, nice. When we were freshmen in college, we tested our surround sound system using Top Gun in the dorms. We got noise complaints from people five floors up.

Thor (the first one) is ridiculously well balanced on blu-ray.
Titan A.E.(the opening scene when the helicopters are flying in) is great one for sound movement across all the speakers.

Two old school movies but have the best surround effects.
I went to Costco and bought a system with a sub-woofer after watching Backdraft (1991) on a buddy's home theater system. The opening is awesome. Lawnmower man (1992) was another early 90's movie that had great sound. When I watched the DVD, I wished I had seen it in the theater. Another 90's movie that has a great soundtrack is Dangerous Ground (1997), especially "The World Is Mine". Heat (1995) is another one. Nearly any Science Fiction needs to be played loud, on a good system.
When the digitally remastered Star Wars VHS's came out, I thought they had good sound. I've mentioned on here before, how back in the early 90's I'd crank up the sound for the Dolby "The audience is listening".
It's crazy how much better the sound got with digital receivers and DVD's.

Twister was always my go-to for testing the sound system. I know it's old, but the sound has held up very well.
