HD-DVD LOST

Blu-ray won the format war in short order. Now, Amazon is offering a buy 2, get 1 free deal on selected Blu-ray titles.

I don't have a Blu-ray player or HiDef TV, but if I did, I'd probably select the following titles. Which ones would you choose or recommend?

I don't have them either (I'm betting on the prices dropping through the floor in 2009) but if I did, I'd get the Blue Planet discs and Bladerunner.

I always thought Holy Grail was better.

C'mon, action and or special effects are the only reasons for HD. Like "The English Patient" needs HiDef?
