You're talking about the most popular movies that were transfered to digital or even restored. Most films weren't. Plus, we lost immense amounts (most) of cinema that was produced before ~1950s when better film started being used.

- Lammy 7y agoDVDs have been around for over twenty years. There are plenty of things that were released on DVD but now hang in license limbo due to a publisher going out of business or whatever. There may have been a transfer done for a DVD release that would need to be re-done for HD, and that all takes time, money, usually personal interest of some sort, and of course the physical items still have to exist (2008 Universal Studios vault fire, anyone?)
