Highly Recommended:

- Blade Runner: Director's Cut
- Blade II (for an entertaining action flick)
- Deliverance (a classic psychological tension thriller by a master director - you will see why most references to the word "banjo" are actually in connection with this movie)
- Infernal Affairs (gripping cop/gangster film, remade as The Departed, considered to be even better than the highly regarded remake(
- Hero (beautifully photographed/acted/directed thoughtful martial arts period film by same guy who did the Beijing Olympics Ceremonies)
- The Searchers (simply a classic must-see in the western genre, looks great in HD)
- THX1138 (student film by George Lucas that became an instant classic in the genre of "how society could become unavoidably something that no one wants")

PS Ong Bak was a great Bruce-Lee-style Thai martial arts movie, so I plan to record Ong Bak 2 and see if it lives up to the level of its predecessor.
