I'm making the most definitive list of favorite movies ever.

For every year, I'm listing every movie I've seen and compare them all to each other asking one question; Which movie do I like more. Movies that score in the 80th percentile or higher, advance to the next round: Favorite of the Decade. After each Decade is done, an All Time list will be formed.

Wow, a list of the First HD-DVD Titles.... Oh I gotta.

I'm so far off from having an HD Dvd player.... but It'll come sooner than I think... and is one of those things you can't hep but look at the piles you've tucked into your current library and think, is this just going to be a dusty dog like my VHS collection became.

So, some sanity....

The list of titles and my useless ass opinions of their getting a HD-DVD release.

ABOVE THE LAW This hasn't been watchable since VHS.
ALEXANDER This won't be watchable until tru-life interactive holographics allow you to sit on the bed with Angelina Jolie, having deleted the snakes from the scene. A good behind the scenes feature then will let you walk up to Oliver Stone and ask him how pulled off a film sucking this bad. Film students will learn much.
ANGELS IN AMERICA (HBO) Don't care.
AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY (NEW LINE) The current DVD is pretty.... doesn't matter if I can see ever pore on Mike Meyers...
BATMAN BEGINS WB's thinking ahead...
BLADE (NEW LINE) This film was very pretty in the theater, and never owned up on DVD.... Size mattered.
CATWOMAN The format is doomed.
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
More forward thought.
CONSTANTINE : SOLD!
CONTACT : DITTO. I'm proud of this selection.
DARK CITY (NEW LINE) More courage.
THE DUKES OF HAZZARD A different kind of courage???
ERASER Now you're trying to make me sick. There were two people in this room. One eryudte movie geek with taste, and the idiot putting Alexander and Catwoman and this shit. It's a shit movie. Disagree? How MANY times have you NEEDED to pop this off the shelf and watch it. I've NEVER heard after it's release, "I've been meaning to pop in Eraser again, those were good times!" Never.
EXECUTIVE DECISION Will once again remind us it was made.
FINAL DESTINATION (NEW LINE) Ooooo Death in Detail!!! Will it look REALLY fake in HD???
FRIDAY (NEW LINE) ...
FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON (HBO) I loved this series... but like Eraser...
THE FUGITIVE I'm there.
GOTHIKA From now on, the idiot will sound his selections with a Boing!

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS For every toddler who can tell progessive scan DVD players from not, and who are really whiny that Spongbod doesn't get a crisp enough definition or that NTSC really bleaches out his spongebob yellowishness...

THE BOURNE SUPREMACY
THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK
VAN HELSING It sucked but was an eyegasm. Only the HD visuals make it a rental.
APOLLO 13 This will become one of the HD discs that show off the systems in stores I bet.
U-571
12 MONKEYS
DUNE :
Fuck this. I hate the existance of this movie. No I dodn't I just want a difinative version with a much footage as possible. Many fans of this flick fell in love with the Alan Smithee cut, intro paintings and all, and WANT that. The Brits get it. We were about to then David Lynch stuck his nose into the release. If Army of darkness can have more release versions than Sam Rami can count, Get All the Versions out there for Dune and let the fans pick. Don't give me this buisness school MBS crap of cost justification either, From Justin to Kelly and Gigli have DVD releases.

THE THING
END OF DAYS Did I hear a faint Boing?
BACKDRAFT
WATERWORLD Boing!
THE BONE COLLECTOR don't care.
SPY GAME more apathy.
PITCH BLACK maybe I'm just tired.
CONAN THE BARBARIAN yea, I'll come back to this.
DANTE'S PEAK


A list like this without Titanic, Koyanisquatsi, Hunt For Red October, Die Hard, Finding Nemo, the Lion King, Akira, Blade Runner and ALL HOLY TRILOGIES (SW:OT and PT, LOTR, and Indy)

These are movies that will be bought on HDDVD no matter how many copies the owners have. Okay, maybe not Koyanisquatsi... definately not, but Best Buy and Circut City could by copies to demo TV's with.
