I came here to say the very same thing. I'm at work though, so I've not had opportunity to test it out.
It looks like they have a fairly decent selection, at least to rent (not all of them are available to buy, it seems).
EDIT: It also appears that the update is not quite done yet, a lot of film seem to only be accessible by the "More by these actors" links.

Some films are actually £2.49 to rent - some available rent only, some purchase only. Where they are available in HD it is marked 'This movie is available in HD on AppleTV'. Unfortunately, I don't have AppleTV (yet) to check out the prices... anyone?

£6.99? Eep. I was hoping for £4.99. Still it's nice to finally see films on our store. Shame I've got half of them on DVD and ripped to my iTunes already :D

The iTunes Search definitely doesn't seem to be able to see the films yet.

I just noticed this also, perhaps this is really in it's infancy.. There hasn't been any real press or news related to the new inclusion of films on the store?
Great news though - the pieces are falling in place for us Brits!
:D
