Perhaps, but when trying to sell folks on the benefits of HD, it makes sense to showcase movies with the most eye candy. When classic movies are released in BD, the majority of folks are unimpressed because of film grain (which is supposed to be there) and because it doesn't look as "pristine" as newer titles. TItles like this are the titles that will best kickstart the format. It's really rather simple from a marketing perspective.
