If I Could Pick Ten Titles for HD Release...
If given the chance to select ten titles (or series) for release in HD (Blu-Ray or HD-DVD), which ones would you choose?
My list is as follows:
1. Moulin Rouge (2001)
2. Titanic (1997)
3. Braveheart
4. The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
5. The "Star Trek" films (they can keep Star Trek V, though)
6. The "Star Wars" films
7. The "Indiana Jones" films
8. The "Alien" films
9. The "Lord of the Rings" films
10. Ben-Hur (1959)
There's a handful of films I would love to see in hi-def for personal reasons. I would love to see if DreamWorks could top the DTS-ES track on the DVD for "The Haunting" with a lossless track. Disney films such as "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" definitely have a place on my list of must-haves. Too many more to list here. Anyone else have a list of must-haves?

My wants haven't changed much since this subject came up a year and a half ago, save for one title that has already been released (Serenity). Since my list is quite different from most, I'll mention a handful of titles that would be "must haves" for me:
1) Pride and Prejudice (1995) [A&E]
2) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [Sony/Columbia]
3) Amélie [Disney/Miramax]
4) Quigley Down Under [MGM]
5) The Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions) [New Line]
I'd also surely pick up Moulin Rouge, mentioned by hauntnut, because it was such a visual feast for the eyes. Don't know if I would be tempted by Star Wars; I think that I have watched them enough, over the years, and I find the controversy over the changes wearing.

Some of the films that would have made the list a couple of months ago have now been slated for release (2001: A Space Odyssey foremost amongst them).

Primer wouldn't benefit so much from HD anything, movie was shot on a shoestring budget with subpar gear.
That said for me:
1. Dark City
2. Mulholland Drive (sans Pitch issues)
3. Beetlejuice
4. Ghostbusters
5. Lord of the Rings (Trilogy)
6. ...
7. ...
8. Fight Club
9. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
10. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Few others: Akira, Ninja Scroll (properly remastered), Battle Royale, Survive Style 5+ *, The Ring (US Remake w/ the original as a bonus feature.), Riki-oh, Audition (properly remastered), Minority Report, Jurassic Park, Ki-Duk Kim flicks (3-Iron, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring, etc; ), Wes Anderson flicks, bunch of additional titles...
* - Hell, a domestic DVD release would be nice.

I'm going off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'll forget something, but here's what pops to mind
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
Minority Report
X-Men 2
Lord of the Rings
Fight Club
The Abyss
Star Wars
Road to Perdition
Downfall
In general I went with films that I thought could benefit most from high def, either visual treats or ones with agressive sound. These aren't my favorite films not on HD, but I would enjoy them all.

LOTR - Of course
Moulin Rouge - yup
Dark City

Big Trouble in Little China
Babylon 5 (wishful thinking, I know)
Hero (already beautiful in SD, would be spectacular in HD)
