What would you say is a must have in an HD DVD collection?

etsuBucsFan198 · 01-21-2009, 01:29 PM

Although I don't know a lot of the titles that are on HD DVD (and my collection is limited), I have to say the Planet Earth series is incredible in HD. What are some of the others you would say is a must have.

Bigloww · 01-21-2009, 01:45 PM

The HD DVD I have that are must haves IMO are:

Planet Earth (you already have)
Batman Begins
Pan's Labyrinth
King Kong
Happy Feet
Van Helsing
The Departed
Transformers (movie was ehhh, but the PQ was killer)
U-571
The Matrix
300
Deer Hunter

Honorable mentions:
Hot Fuzz
Training Day
American Gangster
Troy
Chronicals of Riddick
Constantine

I am sure I am missing a few, but just watched Batman Begins again the other day. Sweet HD DVD for sure.

The Searchers. You will be amazed that The Searchers is over 50 years old.

The Thing, Pitch Black, and The Chronicles of Riddick all really shine on HD DVD.

hakstone · 01-22-2009, 09:53 AM

One of my favorites is NIN:besides you. Great audio.

Don't know about the first one listed but both of the Chronicles of Riddick movies look great.

This is my opinion only but here goes;

1.) Zodiac (Great all around)
2.) Transformers (P/Q and A/Q)
3.) We Were Soldiers (Helicopter Flying scenes and battle scenes)
4.) Serenity
5.) American Gangster (Combo can be played in both)
6.) Bourne Series
7.) Hot Fuzz/Shaun of Dead
8.) Harry Potter (Order of Phoenix, Goblet of Fire, and Pris of Azkhaban)
9.) Van Helsing
10.) Batman Begins

The above movies are in no particular order but they get the most use and are usually viewed at least once a month.

My Honorable mentions;
300
Accepted
Old School
Miami Vice (Combo)
Breach
Polar Express

These are watch more than once for me...

I have many more some I haven't watched yet some I won't watch again (Atonement) Some I would love to get a hold of (the first two HP. movies)
