First High Definition film watched?
The thread title says it all. What was the very first film you watched in High Definition?
For me, I started with The Invasion on HD-DVD. The movie kind of sucked as it was downright horrible in pacing but it was a fun thrill ride just the same and the transfer was absolutely gorgeous.

First HD DVD watched was King Kong that came packed in with my HD DVD Drive for my 360...Because I was uneducated at the time...I was very displeased with the black bars and kind of backed off from any HD content beyond what was on TV.. But I learned

HD-DVD - The Bourne Identity
Blu-ray - The Fifth Element
I'm not positive since I went purple on the same day, but I think Fifth Element was first.

Also Serenity on HD-DVD. In my case I had the disc and the player waiting when we brought home the TV, and ended up watching --stunned by the great PQ -- with the TV still sitting on the floor, the player connected via component (didn't have HDMI cables yet), and using the TV speakers. We were just "testing" the TV, you see.
