Same here. Bourne Identity, Mystery Men, The Frighteners, Streets of FIre Liar Liar, and 40 YOV are the ones I'd buy.

I was really surprised to see a lot of those titles since I didn't even recognize a number of them. If they're actively trying to push HD-DVD, why would they pick so many old and obscure titles. I really liked Streets of Fire but I doubt many people remember this one or even saw it.

If they are only realeasing 15 titles a month, I would think they would fill these limited slots with every big hit from the last 5 years instead of going back 20 years in some cases? They either have very poor planning or they really aren't serious about pushing HD-DVD.

I would love to hear any explanations as it seems completely idiotic from a non-insiders perspective.
