Good HD films?

Can anyone reccomend any really good HD films either on BD or HD-DVD. I'm looking for something where the picture quality is outstanding and really adds to the HD experience.

I recently watched Sunshine in HD and was blown away by how good it was.

well these are the films I have on HD-DVD and I'm blown away everytime I watch them.

300 (some don't like the added grain on this but I think it still looks amazing)
Blade Runner Final Cut (For an old film they have pulled out the stops and is all time classic)
Matrix Ultimate edition (Some bits you notice the CGI but overall doesn't detract from the whole experience).
Aeon Flux (Not the best film but looks awesome)
V for Vendetta (I can just watch this over and over. The last scene is spectacular)
Transformers (I think this has the best picture off all the films I have.)
King Kong (Looks great. Openning sequence especially)
SwordFish (A good looking film. I would consider this average compared to some others but still look great)

edit:
oh forgot shaun of the dead as well.

Animated films are always impressive on HD formats.

Also the BBC's Planet Earth documentary series is stunning in HD.

Transformers and the Pirates series are standout titles.

Add the Matrix to that and you have a collection of pure win™.

I do fancy The Matrix in HD, is it really a lot better than standard DVD though?

That'd be a matter of opinion, I believe it is though.

Serenity.

But watch Firefly first if you want to enjoy 10x more.

Zodiac, the transfer was amazing and even though it was 2 hrs 40 min long it was so gripping it flew by quicker than films half as long.
