For me it's The Hulk. I've read good things about the picture on Chronicles of Riddick, but not the film itself.

Good picture and sound is Seabiscuit, Terminator 3 and Troy, to name a few, and there plenty more.

Of the one's I have I'd say King Kong and MI:3 are excellent.
Batman Begins - good
Van Helsing - OK to good
Miami Vice - can look good, but down to Mann's style it doesn't
Superman Returns - too soft for me, not sharp enough.
Obviously all are better than the DVDs

If found it to be pretty accurate so far with the discs I own.

Corpse Bride I found to be particularly impressive.
I bought it on the strength of it reputedly having excellent PQ - and surprised myself by really enjoying the film!
It's a marvellous example of what is still possible with "stop-motion" animation; when I watched it I thought it was CGI, I could not BELIEVE it was animated "by hand"...
