Best film to "test" new HD TV

Just managed to persuade the wife to let me waste some cash on a new flat screen HD TV. I spent the weekend fixing the bugger to the wall and wiring her up (yes her, she is called Glenda!).

But what film do I christen her with, a film that will do her justice hmmm

How predictable was that!! rolleyes

Actually, all that walking cinematography would be quite good, but not good enough for Glenda hmph!

It's got to be something with awesome visuals and great sounds.

I suggest a throwback to the 80's and watching...

Anything filmed digitally would work well. The latest star wars movies would work well, regardless of your feelings on the stories.
