Im pretty sure Once Upon a time in Mexico is HD.  Other than that, I don\'t know.

HD - DVD Movies

There are HD movies available for home video now through:

1) D-VHS
2) Microsoft\'s poopy selection of 1080p WMV-HD discs

But for the mainstream we\'re waiting on the format war between Toshiba/NEC vs Sony/Philips/Panasonic (HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray respectively).  Now that the Blu-ray camp is supporting Microsoft\'s VC-1 codec it looks like Sony\'s more fully-featured format has the upper-hand.

Competition is usually good, but not in format wars. :(  Expect to see them late 2005, early 2006.

THere are quite a few players out now that play windows media 9 stuff, but like THX said, I\'m not going to go out and buy a 250 dollar dvd player when blue laser is only about a year away.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.
