Off the top of myhead, I found the following movies to look particularly good on my combination of Oppo + Toshiba 56HM195 (1080 DLP):

Titanic Special Collectors Edition
LOTR Special Extended Edition - all three (PAL Reg2)
Troy (PAL Reg2)
Lawrence of Arabia Superbit (considering its age)

In the case of that Titanic release, I just had a chance to compare that at a friends house the other night with my Oppo against a prog scan player. The difference was pretty significant I have to say.

On the other hand, my PAL Reg2 release of Gladiator was a little disappointing on my set. Still pretty glorious to be sure, but I had expected even more since it looked so darn good on my old widescreen PAL CRT.

One other disappointment was Cold Mountain (NTSC Reg1). Stunning Cinematography, but didn't look that good on my set.
