Many catalog titles have sold in the hundreds. Its not worth it to the studios.

Am I the only person that doesnt care?
I bought Dracula recently and Ill probably get Rambo soon, apart from those there are only a few movies I wanna get in HD. After spending hundreds of dollars on the LotR EE trilogy, all of 007, Indiana Jones, all star wars etc. on DVD.. theres absolutely no way Im gonna buy them again.
Just wondering cause I see alot of focus and pressure put on the studios to release older movies. Id rather have them focus on matching DVD's NEW releases but maybe thats just me.. I intend to keep my DVD collection instead of packing away everything in the garage with my VHS collection.

Cataogue titles are important since 90% of everything newly produced is s**t.
Some times real gems are created
(as Gladiator, Alien, Aliens, Black Hawk down etc)
and thats really why im into hometheater, because i want to watch old movies as cinematic as possible.

you also have catalog releases like Armageddon that still doesnt have a anamorphic transfer (at least not a good one) and are dying for a hd treatment.

As far as studios being unwilling, I'm frankly sick of hearing it. You have to spend money to make money and it's not like a catalog title "goes bad" if you don't sell out in the first week. I know many people who's main reason for not going Hi-def is that all that's out their is a retread of the last two-three years of box-office dreck.
