The Thing - the U.K blu-ray has more features than the U.S. version

Black Narcissus and The Seventh Seal are both essential purchases.

I'm really happy with Almost Famous, even if a lot of extras weren't carried over from the DVD.

Pan's Labyrinth - it lacks the DNR of the US release, but be aware that you won't be able to play the extras (other than commentary) since they're PAL. What helps is if you already have the 2-disc DVD for those.

However, the sound is Dolby Digital, so pick your poison.

I don't think there's a good Terminator 2 blu-ray. The best edition released is the German HD-DVD.

I've watched it twice already. It's ridiculously good.

Do the HD DVD internet features still work (and are they decent?)?

Um, I don't think I was able to ever get it to work.
