Several demos came with my graphics card a few years back. Big
games have quite a few 'demos' (the various Eve trailers are a good
example). There's also films like "Elephants Dream", which is
not much different from a demo really.
The closest I've seen in style to the old Amiga demos these days
are the various screensavers you can get.
