If you don't have an up converting DVD player any DVD you watch on an HDTV set will look like shite.

DVD's are 480p and your TV is approx 720p-1080p.

Get an up-converting DVD player and thank me later.

You still only get 480 lines of information off the DVD though. I have a modded Xbox that outputs DVD's at 1080i and there isn't that much of a difference as compared to watching it at 480p. Have to wait for HD-DVD to get a big difference.

Damn, that's a VERY tough call. I like ALL the movies you mentioned A LOT!

But if you're going for a old movie, chose Godfather
