I know that 5 is a small number and a top 10 would have been better, but let's try and keep your top HD DVDs of 2007 down to a "Top 5" category.

My top 5 are as follows...

1) Transformers
2) 300
3) The Bourne Ultimatum
4) The Matrix Trilogy
5) The Matador (released in Canada in January 2007)

Honorable Mention...

Hot Fuzz

I have excluded Blade Runner solely because I have yet to receive my copy from Amazon, so I can't personally comment, but I am pretty comfortable in knowing that this HD DVD would probably take top honors.


Let's have some fun here!!

If we want to do this, we need clear-cut requirements. For example, are we judging based on quality of the movie itself, or the entire package (extras), or picture and audio quality?

I've seen people listing Fearless and Batman Begins...those films are from 2006.

Since we don't have defined parameters to judge with, I'm going with the overall package rankings...best cross-section of good movie/show content, good PQ/AQ, with good packaging and extras being a bonus but not a dealbreaker:

1. Blade Runner - Shockingly feature-packed for something that costs so little. Outstanding picture and audio, and being probably the best sci-fi movie of all time doesn't hurt, either.
2. Transformers - The catalyst for the HD DVD resurgence did not disappoint.
3. Planet Earth - PQ squabbles for the elitists aside, this is the definitive showpiece disc for the format.
4. Clerks II - This fell off of people's radar since it came out right at the beginning of the year, but besides probably being Kevin Smith's best film, this 2 disc set was absolutely overstuffed with bonus features...many of which were in HD as well.
5. The Matrix Trilogy - After a long drought period at the beginning of 2007, the announcement of this was what gave people a glimmer of hope. The "ultimate" collection was a bit underwhelming with flipper discs and non-trilogy content in SD, but the trilogy itself looked and sounded fantastic.

Honorable mention to 2001.

I suppose I could have set some parameters, but I feel going with the top 5 in general gives everyone more freedom. If you liked an HD DVD for the special features content, picture quality, audio quality, or just loved the film in general or a combination of factors, please feel free to list away. It's solely up to you! You can keep the list to just the titles or you can add why you liked that specific title, etc.

My choices contained a combination of all of the above. Great films that just so happened to include good special features, great picture and sound presentations and overall collectability.

Let's keep this one going.
