No, DVDs are shit. Blu-ray are so much better.

Whoosh 😂😂😂

Most all of these were released before blu ray was even a thing, kid. Licensing prevents them from making a blu ray I'm assuming.

Loads of old movies are remade in Blu-ray and many are even made for 4K Blu-rays.

If I really really wanted to watch an old movie that's not available online at all, I would just go to the national film archive and borrow it or watch it there. But most films that are on DVD are pretty new.
