I had tried to hold off on an HD DVD player, once i saw Blazing Saddls was on it, I bought my first HD DVD player the Toshiba XA1, film qality is good, but the movie is such a classic I just had to have it! Video is good, movies top notch. I stil use it as a show off demo as everyone knows nd loves thins flick!

If one of the formats wants to really win - they need to get ALL of the great comedies and action films that speak to Generation X and Baby Boomers out on the market FAST.

Players are getting better and cheaper but not enough great titles exist...

Gotta get this one. But it's a shame when you see the older movies that can't be brought up to true audio 5.1. WISE GUYS is a prime example. Still, the story was awesome.

But this one is just amazing for the humor.

I think you said it before, content is king. That is very crucial.

You know, what Mel said, is true, but I would still like to see classics in HD anyway. For example, one of my all time favorites was on AMC the other night, "The St. Valentines Day Massacre" with Jason Robards as Al Capone. Great film.
