Wouldn't this poll only make sense for those that own both formats?
If you only own a HD DVD player...why buy on Blu-ray?

2001, FMJ and The Shining on HD-DVD. 2001 is the film that made me finally jump into the world of HD.
EWS is a load of rubbish irrespective of format and ACO is possibly the most overrated film of all time - all IMHO of course.

You're both wrong, Eyes Wide Shut is a fitting coda to Kubrick's work, 2001 is the best film ever made, and A Clockwork Orange is hovering somewhere in the top 10.

All 5 on HD-DVD. I've been watching the discs from the original SD DVD release and have been chomping at the bit to upgrade finally now that it looks like these movies are finally being done right.

All five on HD DVD because that's the only format I currently support.

On-topic: I still haven't decided what to buy. I have an HD DVD player, but I might be buying a PS3 by the time the Kubricks come out.

This is actually a very timely thread because I have been trying to decide which to buy. I think HD-DVD is a better product for consumers, but my PS3 is much faster than my HD-A1 and has no compatability problems. Of course, I get TrueHD from my A1 and not my PS3 because I don't have a HDMI receiver.
It's a tough call, but I think I'll end up with the BR discs just because my PS3 is so much faster and nicer than the A1.

Normally I buy WB on Blu-Ray to avoid the combo.
Even though that's not an issue here, I am still going with the Blu-Ray's, mostly because my personal experience has been that black level is better from my BDP-S1 than my A1 or A20.

IMO TrueHD on the PS3 >> TrueHD on the A1... it's a Toshiba thing.
