Favorite HT demo scene from a movie?

What do others think the best scene from a movie is to demo an HT setup? I don't yet have a DVD player but my current VHS demos are both from Die Hard 3. The first is the store explosion in the first scene for sound staging and detail and the second is the dump trucks driving up to the other explosion site for deep bass. leo.

Glen, found it--thanks. Is it the same movie--Mario Andretti or is it something entirely different--with Paul Newman's racing team? I guess I'll know soon enough.

IMAX films: Speedway chapter 10, or Jordan to the Max
T2 the Ultimate Collection: Destroying Cyberdyne
Animation: Space Jam--the Ultimate game or Toy Story 2
the Matrix: (great movie--love the effects--but don't consider it a demo because of the grey green tint when you are "in the dream world")

There seems to be some confusion on Super Speedway (IMAX). I own this. It is about Formula 1 racing, but is not about Paul Newman's team, rather Mario Andretti and his son Michael. It's also not DTS. I checked the DTS site to see if there has been a DTS release (I would definitely want it if it existed), but it wasn't listed there. The DD 5.1 soundtrack does rival some DTS soundtracks--I can only imagine how good it would sound with the DTS encoding.

Can someone clear up, what is the name of the Paul Newman racing movie? And is there really a DTS version of Super Speedway? This is a great demo piece--I'm surprised I don't see it playing continuously in showrooms.
