Just watched Slumdog Millionaire. Didn't expect much in the bass department, but pleasantly surprised: loud, powerful midbass with some ULF thrown in. No wonder it got an Oscar for sound mixing. Would love to see it measured.

If you can find one of the scenes you are referring to on youtube, I'll graph it.
Thanks for the offer. I'm not sure how good the audio is in the YouTube clips as their bitrate is quite low.

I have just watched Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001), and there were a number of scenes with impressive bass. It would be great if it gets measured.

May I suggest Fight Club? There appears to be some high volume deep bass in the 20-30 hz region according to https://www.flickr.com/photos/kenwulandlord/sets/72157627252051467/

May I also suggest Megamind and The Incredibles? Not only are these two very enjoyable animated movies, but they feature some serious bass. My favorite scenes are the final battle in Megamind (starting at around 1:14) and the Missile Lock scene in The Incredibles (at around 1:00). My DIY sealed JL Audio 13W7 is moving over 2" peak to peak during these scenes when I play them at near reference, and the impact is incredible.

Baraka, Evil Dead, Blue Crush, The Conjuring, Conan added to queue.

Wow that was fast. I'm really curious how Baraka would measure. Thanks!

Surprised to see that Baraka (1992) hasn't been measured yet. This one has just become my demo disc. Contains jaw-dropping visuals originally shot on 70mm film accompanied with intense deep bass of often real-life origin. Made me jump on my seat a few times in the first 30 minutes. Then came the scene where they were cutting down a huge tree. This time I had enough time to prepare myself for the sound of the tree falling down, but the resulting shockwave still managed to surprise me, and this was only at -7db reference! The soundtrack is recorded so hot, anything over -5db is too intense for me. There is some clipping at high frequencies (namely the pan flute heard in the beginning). I don't know if LFE is clipped too, but I'm positive that there is no filtering (my system is flat down to 10hz).

Recommendation - Rent. The visuals on this film are so tremendous, that the soundtrack is an even bigger disappointment. The plot is trash, the acting and script are a reach at best, but they really made some menacing looking enemy warships and weapons, that could have used the ULF that was gutted out of this release. I would like to hear what someone thinks of this soundtrack should they add a shelf filter to counteract what is clearly seen here to their DSP.....I may have to invest in a MiniDSP after all....or plug my DCX into my signal chain to see....
It is clearly a shelf filter, as some effects dig down to nearly DC (when watching the waterfall real-time), but slope down horribly before they level out below 20Hz...
Although I don't have the capability to hear the filtered out ULF content in Battleship (my subs go down to 25 hz only), I can confirm that the Turkish Dolby Digital track has solid LFE content, but the original DTS HD Master audio track is clearly anemic to my ears. The former track can easily rattle things (-10db), but nothing happens when I play the latter at the same volume (no low-end to speak of).

Looks like it uses a single motor structure with different size voice coils for each driver. Also utilizes a servo-like distortion reducing mechanism and killer industrial design. The output will likely be low due to laws of physics, but the driver design is clearly innovative.
