You gotta go for 'The Lives of Others' on Blu Ray if you get a player

Also:-

Mission Impossible 3
Queen Rock Montreal
Behind Enemy Lines
Close Encounters of The Third Kind
Cat People (Good HD, cheesy movie IMHO) from 1982
Forthcoming I'm sure Indiana Jones movies!!

'Film' is very high effective resolution. They put the film into a machine which scans each frame and digitises it. So old films can look just as good as new films on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD
You do know that Toshiba have pulled out of HD-DVD right?
