So we know a good surround track can really show off our SOUND systems. But taking into account many of us have HDTVs, what are some movies that really LOOK great? A couple that come to mind IMHO are (they are all standard DVDs BTW):

One Hour Photo
The Incredibles
Iron Giant
Casino Royale
Sin City

I haven't seen One Hour Photo but concur with all the other ones in your list. I would like to add:
Hero
House of Flying Daggers
The Fifth Element
The Fountain

Loc: Outside Phila.
Enter the Dragon (HD-DVD)
Concur: House of Flying Daggers
LOTR, especially the scene with Gandalf and "the Demon"
War of the Worlds
IMAX: Fighter Pilot (loved this one.)


My list is pretty short since I haven't had my Pioneer hooked up for more than a few weeks. I'm settling in now with the new setup. I love this TV.

I saw an IMAX film on an HD channel about the Andretti family, narrated by Paul Newman. Simply Amazing.
