1. Lord of the Rings - Obvious first choice.
2. Dark City - Still one of the best SciFi films out there.
3. Band of Brothers - Best WWII movie/series ever.
4. Matrix - First one only.
5. Kill Bill - One movie. Both parts. Uncut.
6. Finding Nemo - Gotta have one Pixar film.
7. Shawshank Redemption - Great film that would benefit from a new remastering.
8. Enter the Dragon - I love Bruce Lee flims, and this one would be the first released.
9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - I would love to see this film be touched up.
10. Pink Floyd: The Wall - Uncompressed audio
I left out a few of my favorites because they wouldn't benefit from the new format. Namely no Kevin Smith or Edward Norton films.

1.The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (this is going to look stunning!)
2.A Clockwork Orange (since there still hasn’t been an Anamorphic SD-DVD release)
3.Dario Argento’s Opera (beautiful camera work and it’s going to be great to see even more detailed shots than before).
4.Ichi the Killer (I really like the film and it would be good to see an upgrade from the Media Blasters version: it’s pants!)
5.Blue Velvet (a great film and a great looking film that I can’t wait to see in HD).
Five will have to do for now.

Whether or not I upgrade probably depends on whether or not it is a better release overall instead of just the a/v. I probably won't pick up the original Braveheart release as it looks like it may be pretty much barebones. Ultimately, if the content beats out the current release, I will pick up the following:
1. Braveheart
2. - 7. Both Star Wars Trilogies
8. - 10. LOTR EE Trilogy
Most of the others I will probably wait until my current copy dies or they become cheap enough. I will already have to fork over the cash to pick up a new tv, HD player, receiver, speakers, etc. for the new releases to make a real difference, so it's not like I have the money to just replace everything (especially with the amount of $$ I make each year).
