It's great that they are preserving these titles and everything...but who is going to spend $20 per disk or even $10 per disk for movies that were not even good enough for VHS release?

It's obviously for collectors.
Early Cary Grant films, never before released? They'll buy them by the crate!

If this is the case, then why didn't they release these in the past? Series like MST3K get released to DVD...and I would imagine they have much smaller audiences than Cary Grant.
Yup agree - can't wait to spend $ 20 for a 1930s movie that never made it to VHS and has been seen on a Ted Turner Network at least 50 times ..... NOT !!!!
Universal always does this - they were the ones mainly responisble for the demise of HD-DVD in the format war with blu-ray due to the ridiculous crap they released on the new format , flooding the market with cheap unwanted movies like Mr Bean , Chuck & Larry , Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore and all the rest of that comedy crap from Sandler & Co.
