I just didn't get "blown away" the way I expected to even though I think the movie is great and the A/V quality is very good.
The Perfect Storm is an interesting title you mention since I rented this and didn't care for it much but I do think the A/V quality was great to excellent. I'm not sure if I would consider this to be reference quality but I think it gives Twister a great run for the money, if not surpassing it. 
Defending our nominations is part of this thread so please don't take this personally and don't hold back on challenging any of my recommendations.
With that being said, I want to nominate Se7en (Criterion). The A/V quality of this DVD is simply outstanding and both the DD and dts audio transfers are excellent. The video transfer is very clean, sharp, and detailed as well.

Se7en wasn't a Criterion unless you are referring to the laserdisc the dvd is a New Line Platinum and it is excellent.
Going back to Twister and to some degree Te Perfect Storm I think what they can show is that you don't need explosions, bullets, cars or loud music to show off your system. While TFATF may be better there are plenty of explosion or this style of action movies on can use but these 2 discs offer something completely different.
