Best Movies to see in HD

I looked around recently for a definitive list of great movies which really benefit from HD, the lists I found were lacking. Here's my personal top 10 in no particular order -

- Transformers (1+2)
- Terminator 2 - Judgement Day (the original isn't up to scratch in HD)
- Independence Day
- Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
- Die Hard (doesn't really matter which one, they're all amazing)
- Planet Earth
- Casino Royale
- Batman Begins
- Saving Private Ryan

First movie review - Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen

I realise its been out for ages but I just watched it for the second time, it doesn't improve with age. The only really positive thing I can say is that it retained the humour of the first movie. The plot was thin, the characters underdeveloped. Running time 144mins, it really drags in parts. Despite this I enjoyed the overall experience. 6.5/10
