Oh, this is in my top 5 favorite movies ever. It really deserves a good Blu Ray transfer. I believe it was one of the first DVD releases and looked really bad until a remastered edition a few years ago that cleaned it up a bit.

Kal, I am sure everyone on this board would find a handful of agreeable Blu-ray titles that shouldn't have ever been put on Blu-ray. I am also sure this wouldn't be on that list.

Sure, you can't release everything at once, but there is this little thing called priorities and some of the junk coming out now on BD, or already out, is simply atrocious in comparison. For instance, who on here is admitting to their girly parts and buying St. Elmo's Fire?

But the current adoption rate is the whole reason why the first stuff out is crappy. It's all done to optimize profit for the companies doing this. You don't put out Star Wars on Blu-ray right out of the gate as nobody has a blu-ray player yet. And stuff that's already out never seems as interesting as new items released...
Yes, Star Wars is popular and yes it would help sell the format but marketing has likely shown that the order they're doing things in today is the most profitable.
Then there's the issue of whether a title's actually READY to be out on Blu-ray. Many need to be remastered, new content created, menuing systems created, etc.

How exactly does spending time, money, and resources putting St. Elmo's Fire on BD with the unlikelihood of anyone buying make sense?
