A couple of my own...
Live action/digital
SW: Attack of the Clones
A little color smearing in spots, but generally excellent color-definition and level of detail particularly on some closeups.
Live-action/film
SW: A New Hope
Showing it's age in places, but for a nearly 30-year old film this still packs plenty of punch PQ-wise in many scenes, and has excellent detail. May want to try cheating contrast higher to add still a bit more depth/impact.
Underworld (Superbit)
The overall darkness of this film may be a little challenging contrast-wise for some LCDs, but the level of detail makes it worth the struggle. Plus you can cheat the contrast/white level higher than normal to give the picture some more punch without losing much white detail since the picture is so consistently dark. Closeups on this are about as near HD for a live-action film as I've seen on DVD.
Animated
Shrek 2
Darker scenes (and there are quite a few) are a bit challenging. But color and level of detail in brighter scenes are about the best I've seen. With a well-adjusted display, characters look like they could step out of the screen.
Monsters, Inc.
One of the earlier and still better-lookin CG animated features on any display, including/especially LCD.
Wizards
Slightly lacking in detail compared to some of the five-star films above, but the strikingly rich palette holds up remarkably well considering this came out the same year as ANH.
Titan AE
A little edgy and mosquitoy around character outlines, but another good one color/texture-wise. Also good in the LFE dept from what I hear, if your panel happens to sport a subwoofer.
