Could someone explain to me, the seemingly odd choices of movies being placed on High Def discs? There are some really good ones I agree, but it just really seems so random. Anyone?
Not like I have any actual confirmation of this theory but I would get it's all about return on investment. You calculate who you would have to pay when you release and old title, check out previous sales on DVD and hope for the best. I also think there's a huge push for bulk numbers so cheapest titles would rule there too. That said I'm sure they also look for titles that would look good on paper too, maybe you wouldn't buy the Jerk but it's recognized as a good movie.

Once again just a guess.
