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.
Makes good sense. As usual I must be in the minority as to what it would take for me to plunge into investment. If I could add to the Planet Earth series some of my all time favorite movies...I might leap in.

Once again just a guess.
