[Fritz Nilsen]

I'd settle for all Blu Ray "exclusives" on HD DVD.

 

[Brent T]

I would love two of these 3 movies, the other I believe should be burnt at the feet of Krom



Good list and I would love to see most of those show up in the next year or so.

 

[Jaxon's Dad]

I want my favoirtes:

Star Wars Saga
Indiana Jones Adventures
Jaws
Alien
Tommy Boy
Every Pixar film
Strange Brew
The Prince of Egypt
The Passion of the Christ
Disney's Robin Hood
Star Trek (TV series and feature films)
Spielberg catalog
Hitchcock catalog

In the meantime, I'll cherry pick from what's currently available/pending.

 

[John Sparks]

You really think that we'll see Star Wars in HD when they couldn't even give us the originals in Anamorphic???

 

[DarthBeavis]

Gigli will be the make or break HD DVD movie.

 

[BrettGallman]

If either format proves to be successful enough, then absolutely. Sure, the release of the original, unaltered trilogy was a debacle, but people shouldn't forget that Lucasfilm has been responsible for some of the best DVDs ever, in my opinion. All the Star Wars DVDs (excluding Episode I) are excellent releases, and I have no doubt that if Star Wars is released in HD, it'll be an excellent presentation; unfortunately, I don't think we'll see the real, untouched trilogy, but that doesn't mean what we will get won't be an excellent presentation.

[King Jeff]

What studio released Collateral?

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

I could be wrong but I think Dreamworks handled domestic distribution and Paramount Pictures covered international. Now, as for what that might indicate as far as a future HD release goes, I don't know. If it were Paramount it would probably be released in both formats concurrently. I don't know what Dreamworks's stance is on HD, though. Does anyone know?

 

[Clinton McClure]

Meaning, if Gigli is released on HD-DVD then Blu-ray wins?

 

[King Jeff]

I did some research and found that Dreamworks co-distributed Collateral with Paramount, its sister studio. In 2005, Dreamworks was purchased by Viacom, who owns Paramount. So hopefully this means they are neutral in the HD war and release it on both formats.

Also, I looked into Heat again and since it's Warner it should be on both.

 

[Garrett Lundy]

It would probably save alot of typing to just list which films you DON'T want on HD disk.

Examples:
Adrenaline
House Of The Dead
Dark Harvest 1 - 3
Highlander 2 - 4
Rollerball (the new one)

 

[Dave Moritz]

My picks for HD-DVD releases even though I am saving for a Blu-ray player. I would like to start seeing DTS-HD tracks on HD-DVD titles but it would be nice to start seeing more Dolby True HD tracks.

[DavidJ]

My list is almost as long as Dave's...



Everything!


If I were to narrow it, LOTR and the Hitchcock films would be at or near the top of my list. There are plenty of others as well.
