Saw it in 1080i on HDNet, but never in 1080p. It stands up wonderfully with it's age. Other oldies I would recommend that stand up well and look great in HiDef:

Aliens
The Thing (Carpenter's)
American Graffiti
Close Encounters
Cool Hand Luke

Really looking forward to watching tv and playing games in 1080p.... which should be able to happen today. Freight company is shipping my 73" tv sometime after 11am so I can finally retire my 10 year old 48" Mitsubishi rear projection 1080i. She already has a good home to go to and will make a new family very happy.

Blade Runner Blu is amazing (just ask Bart) ;-)

A few classics that were mastered in HD well and stand the test of time:
Day the Earth Stood Still
The Searchers
2001
Sleeping Beauty

Newest addition, recent theatrical Star Trek, super visuals and outstanding soundtrack!

Ceck 'em out if you haven't already......

whats better BLUE-RAY or HD

I was originally in the HD DVD camp, but once the format war ended with Blu Ray the heir apparent, bought a dual format (HD DVD and Blu Ray) unit, so I could continue using my existing HD DVD titles, while enjoying the new releases Blu had to offer.
I have since replaced my HD DVD titles with their Blu counterparts, with a few exceptions, and gone strictly Blu with an Oppo BDP-83.
Superb playback of all high def audio codecs (Dolby Tru HD and DTS Master HD) as well as top rated DVD upconversion.
Kind of a moot point as to which is better, unless you buy a dual format player, of which there a only really two, and neither of which being properly supported by the manufacturer, IMHO.
That was really the biggest reason I bails out on dula format and went with Oppo, superb customer service!
Best,
