I had a trial of lovefilm over christmas and I'm glad to admit that it got cancelled before it converted a paid account. A lot of the films are either old, straight to VHS/DVD or as one film turned out to be a 4:3 VHS (150line) conversion.. I don't expect that from a service (even for a 1960's film) especially when it is available on 16:9 dvd remastered on their own service)

Perhaps in the future they'll get better contracts as most rentals go the way of streaming and the new £4.99 streaming only package hopefully is a sign of that..
