Very nice lineup! If all of those(aside from The Prestige and The Island obviously) get released here around the same time, this will be a great year for HD-DVD.

If the US gets the same releases I will be in for these. The HP films are ones I could honestly pass on, but I'll leave them on my list for now.
September
300 (IME) (HD DVD only) (if the movie turns out good)
November
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire(IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (IME) (HD DVD only)
December
2001 A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
The Shinning
The Wizard of Oz
I hope this is just a small part of Warner's release schedule because this is an extremely mediocre selection. Other than Decemeber there are no great classic films. Looks like I will be buying mostly standard DVDs in 2007.

The fact that they would stagger the Matrix releases instead of putting out a trilogy box set right off the bat has me scratching my head...they better not pull this shit in North America.

This is obviously a partial list, perhaps just highlighting their tentpole releases (or some of them). But personally, I think this is an exciting list and I'd buy at least seventeen off of it (eighteen if Zodiac is any good, nineteen if they also release Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix alongside the first four this November). I'm still perturbed by the current lack of announcements, but hopefully, these films and more will make up for it.

I wasn't too excited about the reported Universal Pictures announcement from HTF, but this is more like it!
I hope some of these are released in the US too. Perhaps the titles that are day and date?? We'll have to wait and see. Otherwise, this is going to be one expensive investment coming from across the pond:
The Island
Flags of Our Fathers
Matrix (IME) (HD DVD only)
Matrix Reloaded (IME) (HD DVD only)
The Goonies
Matrix Revolutions (IME) (HD DVD only)
Letters from Iwo Jima
L.A. Confidential
Blade Runner
Poltergeist
300 (IME) (HD DVD only)
Blood Diamond (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire(IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (IME) (HD DVD only)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (IME) (HD DVD only)
Ocean's eleven (2001)
Ocean's twelve
The Shining
The Wizard of Oz

Not for me.
Of that list, I'd pick up:
Goonies
LA Conf
Blade Runner
Oceans 11 (2001)
Oz
That's it. Zodiac too, if David doesn't let me down. Other than that, no interest in the others.

IMHO, its a decent list, but nothing to get too excited about. It is all stuff most of us expected to be out by the end of 2007.
