Can somebody explain what the point is in buying old films in blu-ray/hd-dvd format? I've just noticed an old John Wayne film is available on Blu-ray. I don't want to sound stupid, but the quality can't be any better than DVD as it wasn't film in HD. Can it?

Pretty much, if one digitizes any 35mm film one could capture the source in HD.
And the John Wayne movie is available in HD DVD as well and has been for some time. More are to follow.
