Of the bunch, I have seen these:

Blood Diamond (saw on JAL flight, looked good but depressing as some movies-with-a-message tend to be)
Bridge to Ter. (sweet, but not really my style)
Bulletproof Monk (simple fun for a viewing or two)
Casino Royale (good solid back-to-basics action but dunno how it will age with me)
Fifth Element Remastered (I like some of the crazy environments, but the movie strikes as being merely okay)
First Blood (I don't recall much)
Happy Feet (I liked it but didn't love it)
Ice Age: The Meltdown (I found it kind of annoying though beautiful and sunny. B=D transfer has mostl spectacular video with some obvious compression artifacts in a few scenes)
Kung Fu Hustle (It's silly and I love it)
Monster House (reasonably entertaining)
Pirates of the Carribean 1 (tolerable, but only just)
Road Warrior (must buy it)
Superman: The Movie (I don't recall much)
Terminator (good mindless fun)
Terminator 2 (ditto)
Total Recall (still fun, but B-D transfer seemed indifferent and the movie is showing it's age)
Usual Suspects (Talk about having to go back and rewatch-wow)
