Best "Showcase" Dvd? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Just curious but what Dvd do you use as a "Showcase" when your friends come over who have never seen/heard a Dvd before?

Or better yet...what specific scene do you "Showcase"?

Over Xmas I pimpin' the hell out of the Pod Race scene from TPM.

This is a topic that comes up regularly.

My faves:
Fast & the Furious (Chapter 4: NOS Fest)
U-571, any depth charge scene.
Jurassic Park 3, Duel of the Dinosaurs
Pitch Black, crash landing
Saving Private Ryan, Normandy landing

Those are just a few.

My setup pretty much sucks but to let people experience the joy that is DVD I ussually show them one of the X-Files season so they can see the difference between the picture.

As far as sound goes I still ussually pop in Jurrasic Park at the T-Rex scene. (Like I said my system suxs (for now) but this ussually gets the point across)

I also show The Abyss and Ghostbusters so they can get a general idea of the extras available.

Well I like the following disc to show off:

Star Wars Epidsode I: The Phantom Menace
Matrix
Titan AE
The Fifth Element - SuperBit
XMen
Elizabeth
Fantasia 2000
Gladiator

I think this topic was done before but its still fun to see what people use to show off their DVDs.
