Best power hitting, loud grip your seat movies ?


Ok I think I have a pretty awesome setup and am wanting to add a bit more to my dvd library. I have a little over 150 movies but only a few I think really accent my system.

Driven, Matrix, gladiator, legends of the fall, terminator 2
, Independence day, Lord of the rings set.
what are some great movies to enjoy the full home theatre experience with.

Any ideas.
