Ok help me get started (HD DVD)
I have the Toshiba HD A2 on the way but no HD DVDs for it
I'm looking at the following which will not be upgrades*
The Searchers
Superman Returns
Superman II Donner Cut
The Road Warrior
* don't get me wrong I will upgrade some regular DVDs but later on
also I will select the 5 free DVDs but I'm not askign about them here
so which one should I get first?

The Searchers is personally my favorite of the four movies you listed, and I think you'll be very impressed with the presentation.

Superman Returns is one of my demo discs when people see me home theater the first time (specifically the scene with the space shuttle/airplane). The video looks great and the sound really good during that scene. Unfortunately the movie as a whole is not so good (in fact, I fell asleep while watching it in the theater).
I have the rest of the movies you listed, but have not yet watched them in hd.

Out of those, I'd go with The Searchers or The Road Warrior - they look pretty awesome...then I'd go for Superman Returns - I was not impressed with the Donner cut. Returns looks decent but not jaw dropping.

Searchers & Road Warrior from your list, and another recommendation for
300
Hot Fuzz
Other titles that stand out in disc presentation to me, but of course I have no idea if you would like the films...
Children of Men
Batman Begins
Hulk
King Kong
The Thing
Complete Matrix

Congrats on your purchase!
I would also recommend Blood Diamond.
The cinematography of that movie in HD is A+
Also another vote for Hot Fuzz obviously!
Just the amount of xtras all on one disc are mind boggling
Enjoy
