Well, without knowing more about your tastes, that's hard. Since you mentioned Run Lola Run, I'll take a stab:The Exorcist 25th Anniversary Edition. The audio is not overwhelming, but well done. Video is excellent.
Funny Games. My wife and I found this to be most disturbing. Forget special effects; forget Hollywood, forget blood-and-gore. A great movie, well transferred. BTW, we now sleep with an M-16 under the bed and various other weapons stashed about the house.
Zero Effect. Off-beat detective flick.
Bound. The brothers Wachowski. Although there's nothing wrong with the thought of Gina Gershon doing Meg Tilly
, it's really a good suspense flick. Dracula (Coppola). Excellent video; audio is well done, not overwhelming.
Heat. One of the best shoot-em-ups, IMO.
8MM. I found this to be a superbly dark film about the underground porno world.
Very Bad Things. One of the only comedies that I can watch repeatedly and geniunely laugh over.
These have all been viewed over 16:9 HDTV with a doubler. Let me know if any of this is to your taste, I can either recommend more xor shut up.
