Neutral as of tonite. Opinions needed for 1st HDdvd viewing experience...

Hey y'all. I was a smurf but as of tonite I'm a barney.





What's a good first exclusive title or 2...? Wanna grab a flick on the way home to test out the new player.
I am eager to see Forbidden Planet, Eternal Sunshine, Kong...

Not interested in films that are also on BD as I've seen most of them

Thanks!

I'd say Hot Fuzz.


It's a good movie, and looks and sounds good on the format.






My expectations on Jurassic Park in HD. I better fricken BE THERE!

Seabiscuit (might be the best HD disc on any format...it's that good)
The Bourne Identity

Have fun Dave. Get some popcorn and BTW, was glad to see Cal beat somebody else up last weekend-kind of feels a little better after the holiday bowl debacle.

I would say Grand Prix. If you are looking for something newer Batman Begins. The Borne Identity. You can't go wrong with Forbidden Planet. Its one of the best looking early CinemaScope films I've ever seen on home video.

BTW welcome to the stress free life of neutrality.

Batman Begins is an excellent starting point.

Don't forget to check out Casablanca! Gorgeous.

Watch those two and you cover both ends of the spectrum.

BATMAN BEGINS is definitely an excellent way to christen your new HD DVD player.

Out Of Sight or Serenity would be my top 2 choices for a 'light' evening of fine movie watchin'.

but then again, King Kong would work perfectly too, because as you mentioned on AVS, you may be a little distracted with the mini-mack- and that is the ideal movie to fast forward thru and skip around on, or to put in to just enjoy the scenery.

I would also recommend Batman Begins and Casablanca. King Kong is also nice though I don't own it Forbidden Planet did look good.
