Best Surround Sound Movies?

I just purchased a surround sound system for my home theater and I'm trying to find good movies to watch (w/ surround sound). Here are some of my favorites so far:

Saving Private Ryan - Opening beach scene is amazying
Master and Commander - you can hear the boat sounds from all around
Matrix Movies - Any action scene is good
Terminator Movies - Any action scene is good

Anyone have any other suggestions for good surround sound?

Thanks for any replies!

Can't go wrong with Gladiator and Braveheart.

ESPECIALLY the Bank Shootout near the end

Anything Encoded with THX

the Emblem shows up then the sound getting louder and louder

nothing better than cranking up the Surround sound, and hitting rewind when that comes on

Thanks for all the suggestions so far! I know that Full Metal Jacket, Good fellas and Scarface are all good movies, but are they good specifically for their surround sound?
