I took a chance on SACD when there were only about 100 titles available, so yes, I have done that.

I'm just not much for video in general, thus no HD screen. Despite that, I do buy DVDs that I watch on my 24 inch CRT. And you've picked out some good ones. Here are my comments:

Being John Malkovitch, clever and would deserve another viewing.
Stranger than Fiction, saw it in theater, good, probably won't see again.
Goodfellas, one for the permanent collection, don't have it.
Reservoir Dogs, have it on DVD, would get it on HD.
Casablanca, an all time favorite, would get it on HD.
Usual Suspects, a personal favorite, got it on DVD, would get it on HD.
Lost in Translation, liked it in the theater, but probably don't need to see it again.
Eternal Sunshine, also saw it, don't plan to see it again.
Big Lebowski, got it on DVD, would get it on HD.
12 Monkeys, just OK for me, not one to collect.
Speed, very minor for me, don't plan to see it again.

So I know there are a few out that would tempt me. Not enough I am afraid right now.

OTOH, I just got the Peckinpah box set on DVD and will probably watch Ride the High Country tonight.
