What's in your queue of high-def movies?

Posted by 4season on November 10, 2007 at 12:11:54:
My 5 free Blu-Ray movies finally arrived, and so did an Amazon order of mostly HD DVDs. I've barely begun to remove the shrinkwrap:

Ratatouille (B-D) Man oh man have I been waiting for this one, arguably Pixar's most charming work to date. @#$% Circuit City is not stocking the B-D, but Target does (but I had to hunt around because they weren't in the Blu-Ray section). Took a pass on "Cars" which wasn't my favorite.

2001 (HD DVD) of course.
Lost In Translation (HD DVD)
Enemy Of The State (B-D)
Stranger Than Fiction (B-D)
Being John Malkovich (HD DVD)
Galapagos (HD DVD)
Tekkonkinkreet (B-D) A must-see (and hear!) IMO.

Freebie B-D movies, have never seen most of them
Blazing Saddles (okay I *have* seen this: Beans anyone?)
X-Men 3: Last Stand (they ran out of "Italian Job" so they sent me this)
Invincible
Stir of Echos
Last Waltz

I still have no proper sound system: Audio is via HDMI to the TV set, and where possible, I select the lossless PCM or TrueHD tracks. Even here, it seems to me the high bit rate audio is often noticeably sharper, in-your-face and dynamic.
