Default Best 1080p video to show off screen on SGS2

I was just thinking now that the phone should be hitting people's hands soon, it would be good to discuss the best 1080p video to have on the phone when you get the inevitable question from others such as what is the screen like? Or How is it playing movies?

Does anyone have links to stunning videos that we can download and use?

I think he meant having some demo of HD Videos to show off the quality of the screen. Not videos taken from the phone it self.

This is a very bad example, to trully show the screen quality the videos should be converted at the max resolution of the screen.
Puting bigger resolution videos than the max native screen res will result in pixelation, because the phone then has to convert the video in realtime which is a much worse conversion than first doing it with a decent software and then displaying it on the screen without need for picture rescaling.
