they are i quite agree but there are a massive amount of films owned by smaller companies that are not doing that

cant find the article i read on this ( was a while back might remember later lol ) but if you look here you can see the resolutions allowed on blu ray disc

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc

look for "Technical specifications"

that shows how low a resolution can be put on a blu ray disc and due to 720 being clased as HD ( how that was allowed is beyond me ) it can still be sold as high def


got agree the "Close Encounters" version was great and you got a choice on which version you wanted to watch "Blade Runner" was great too
