What's the best movie you ever watched in HD.

Ok, the first movie that I saw in HD was Chicken Little. I was in Best Buy and they had a Blu ray player hooked up to a 50 inch plasma. Now that I've taken the plung into the HD pool with the PS3 and a 57 inch 1080p DLP, I bought The 5th Element on Blu ray as one of my first titles. I was all ready for all the eye candy that's in the movie. When I got home and poped it in, I was somewhat dissapointed. the movie only looked slightly better than the DVD version, IMHO. Then I went online and read the reviews for this Blu ray and I found out that I wasn't the only one not satisfied with the Blu ray.

After about 5 months of never watching the film again, I was reading online that Sony was remastering the Blu ray and offering an exchange program for anyone who bought the first (MPEG-2) version. So I sent it off about the beginning of December and it finally came today. I was skeptical about any improvements over the previous version but about 2 minutes into the film I became truely impressed. Images, colors, and sound were all improved. This new MPEG-4 Dolby TrueHD version maybe the best HD movie that I've ever seen from any studio. This is now my new show off movie to any friends and family interested in taking the HD plung. My question to anyone with Blu ray or HDDVD, what's the best movie that you have ever seen in HD?

Harry Potter 5 on BD was very good, so was Day After Tomorrow and Spider-Man.

I got Sahara on HD DVD over the holidays and it is amazingly clear. Other than that I liked Batman Begins, Corpse Bride (animation always looks stunning in hidef for both formats), 2001 (gorgeous picture quality), TMNT, Flags of our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima and I'm sure there are others I can't think of.

Hot Fuzz
The Prestige
Seabiscuit

The Island HDDVD import.
The Matrix, -original
Sahara. gotta gree with falcon.

Batman Begins, Knocked Up, TMNT, and Transformers were amazing for me.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Transformers
Matrix
Hotfuzz

Sorry, I haven't viewed 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY yet (for either format), but will soon. It's supposed to be one of the best HD presentations ever done (to date). And so many I've purchased the past 4-5 weeks during the great discount sales, well obviously I haven't had time to watch that many yet.
