• You Can't Get That on Blu-ray: It's a good thing your Blu-ray players can play your DVDs.  There is no reason to buy an older movie on Blu-ray.  If the native film is of low quality, then obviously you aren't going to take advantage of Blu-ray.  I remember some dumb author complaining about the Planet of the Apes wasn't any better on Blu-ray.  Why would it be?

Actually, old movies should look much better on Blu-Ray if the studio bothers to go back and use a high-quality print. Film's quality has yet to be fully capture by any digital medium. A properly remastered Casablanca or Wizard of Oz would be mind-blowing in HD.
