      Thanks for the list. I'll keep an eye out for any additions, because I won't purchase any more SD-only movies until there's a way to upgrade to HDX (presumably for an additional cost).

          I Forgot about "House of Flying Daggers".

          Two more to add...

          "Jeremiah Johnson" & "The Story of Qui Ju"

          Both of these are pretty old and I do not see any Bluray copy having been released, so I am not too upset bout getting SD versions.

            Thanks to you both for the additions.

            Walter, there are older movies without Blu ray discs that have an HD upgrade option. The Family Jewels for example (saw this on Netflix one day but is D2D eligible) so even given the age of a movie it can still happen.

              Wife has a lot of "older" movies on DVD that convert over to HDx, but still more that are only SD. I won't watch SD on the big screens, but the wife doesn't care as much about picture quality as I do. Also, she sometimes just plays them for noise as she goes about her day around the house. Hell, she knows her movies by heart so she doesn't really need to watch them. Me, I can see something today and watch it tomorrow and still see something I missed the first time around (or 100th time around in some cases).

                I am in your camp.

                I recently converted my "Sound of Music" via D2D into HDX, and the crisp picture quality was a delight. You could see the hair strands of Julie Andrews red-blonde hair clearly.

                        The City Of Lost Children (1995)
                        Dark City (Director's Cut) (1998)

                        Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004)

                        Interestingly, the Tremors 4 product page does not have a UV logo, but VUDU To Go does recognize it and offer conversion in SD.

                            We have our first HD upgrade option added but not from blu ray. OP updated.

                              Hey, this reminds me. While I'd also like to see these available in HDX, for me the biggest problem with these movies that are not available in HD is that the SD button is placed where the HD button usually is. This caused me to put "The Cell" in my cart as SD when I thought I was choosing HDX. That's really awful user interface design; I only noticed it later when I reviewed my cart, and the column that said "HDX" was broken by this one "SD" entry.

                                Yeah the button for HDX should remain but become unavailable to click so it's clear. However I still think SD/HDX should always be available with a disclosure that while VUDU has SD only, you an pre-purchase HD rights now. Anyway The Cell is D2D eligible at CinemaNow with HD, that's how I got it.
