what is the best HD DVD that you have purchased?

this is a difficult one for me, but i would have to say that 'chronicles of riddick' is the best looking.

but 'bourne ulitimatum' is the best all round movie

yours??????????

King Kong-(Best ive seen on BOTH formats as far as WOW...now THATs high def.)

Yeah. Liked the flick too.

My favorite is Band of Brothers if you count series, too. I'll be rewatching this many times over the years.

hd dvd: "spartacus" and "traffic"

blu-ray: "the fifth element" (first version) and "talladega nights"

Batman Begins - Best movie
Planet Earth - Best quality transfer.

For the love of Pete! I only own two HD titles and four Brooo-ray titles! Let me catch up first!

I've seen a lot of great transfers on HD DVD (Batman, Hot Fuzz, King Kong, Fast and The Furious, as well as all of the remastered Kubrick films come to mind), but Planet Earth blows absolutely everything away. There's no CGI to polish everything up - that's just how the planet is, and man is it incredible. I'm actually off to watch another episode now. I can't get enough of it. I believe I'll go with Caves tonight. If you have an HD player (HD DVD or Blu), get it! NOW! And if you have HD DVD, you can find some great prices. I paid $29 for mine.

Batman Begins
King Kong
Polar Express

I thought Aeon Flux is an underrated transfer. In fact, it's one of my show off disks of either format. Those colours are almost orgasmic in many scenes. Sure it's not the greatest movie, but it's a shear joy just looking at the damn thing.

Edit: I know many people like King Kong, but once the CGI starts when they get to the island and right to the end of the movie, I found it just too darn "edgy". By edgy I mean when you apply too much sharpening in photoshop to a JPEG at pbase.com and get crap for it. No, there weren't a lot of visible halos or ringing, but it had that edgy quality of over-sharpened JPEGs that I don't like so much.

Hey poster,
"I was led to believe that the first version of "The Fith Element" was suppose to be bad. That's why they remastered it???

"The Matrix trilogy also rocks on the format."

Skyhawk.
"Are you trying to say that "Kong" looks "harsh" to your eyes?"
