I'm really debating whether $99 is worth it for an upscaling DVD player that will play the occasional HD-DVD. I just went through the movie lists for HD-DVD and Blu-ray and got a good chuckle out of them.

Good to see that HD-DVD released a bunch of Kubrick films. I always wanted to watch a 4:3 movie in high definition. Caddyshack in high def sounds great, too. As does The Breakfast Club. A young collection of Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Emelio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy in 1080i excites me to no end.

The Kubrik films are out on Blu-Ray also.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic and saying that those movies being in HD mean nothing since they really arn't graphic masterpieces to begin with.

Oh I know. 4:3 and all that nonsense. I was just pointing it out for those who don't know.

Tbh, I have never seen a Kubrik film, and I don't plan to see one anytime soon.

Yeah, i've seen one or two. I wouldn't suggest them.

 OK.  I gotta chime in here.  "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is possibly my favorite movie.  Peter Sellers and George C. Scott are just phenomenal in this movie.  It was just hysterical if you like satire/dark humor.  If you only see one Kubrick film, make it this one.

I also enjoyed Clockwork Orange, 2001, and Barry Lyndon.
