Recommended HD-DVD / BLU-Ray versions over the orginal DVD release
Has anyone began to make a list of which HD-DVD and BLU-RAY movies are a vast improvement over the regular DVD version? Personally, I'd like a thread I could reference when I begin purchasing a few. It would make my life so much easier and would also help me narrow down the titles for future sales, etc., and I wouldn't have to worry about it being a blind-buy.
If a thread has been started, then I'll delete this one.

I read that "Robocop" also had one of the most amazing transfers ever committed to disc . . .
From all of the reviews that I've seen here and elsewhere, there are probably only a handful of discs which aren't at least a step up from their DVD counterparts. It depends on what you mean, though -- are you just talking picture and sound quality, or do you also refer to extra content? Consistently, HD-DVDs score top marks in all three while BD seems to be a pretty mixed bag.

How about instead of a list of recommended High def discs, why not just list the ones that ARE NOT worth the upgrade? I'll be the first to nominate Traffic HD-DVD. The PQ is barely an improvement and the disc is bare bones. Since there's already an excellent Criterion 2 disc set full of features, I'd avoid this one.
