Re: What films are you waiting for on HD DVD?
As mentioned by others I am looking forward to New Line joining the High Def market - Lord Of The Rings and Se7en being key titles for me. I also can't wait for Paramount to announce their Star Trek plans - specifically the rumoured Star Trek Movies Collection and the redone Star Trek: TOS.

However Universal's (as of yet unannounced) release of the new Battlestar Galactica - Season 1 boxset is what is of key interest to me. This is my favourite series at present and therefore can't wait to see it in the very highest quality.

Re: What films are you waiting for on HD DVD?
...oh, and the UK release of Terminator 2. I'm hoping the UK HD DVD will include both the normal and extended versions of the film like the French release as well as a next gen soundtrack.

I'm drooling just thinking about it.

See my thread elsewhere on the AFI & Sight & Sound lists.

'Citizen Kane' and 'Vertigo' the two greatest films of all time, and both Universal.

COME ON YOU FOOLS!

All Star Trek films and TV series (well maybe except crappy Voyager and Enterprise )

Plus all the High definition releases that have only been on Blu-ray, the bastards!

Trivia - 'Jaws 1' was originally released in glorious MONO!

Nonetheless, I agree.

Re: What films are you waiting for on HD DVD?
I was initially using the announced release list from High Def Digerst.

Other than those lisated, top of my wants would be 'Citizen Kane' and 'Vertigo'.

Voted by critics in 2002 as the two greatest films ever made - not a bad brace of discs, you'd think.

I don't think The Matrix has been released on HD DVD in the UK yet - I'm sure it will be released in the next few months - however note that all US HD DVDs will work in your UK HD DVD player (although obviously the DVD-Video elements won't unless you put them in a multi-region player).

Quote:

Both are US players that I imported. I've decided to go US-only for the time being although I can (and have) picked up a few European HD DVD releases.
