Yes. Yes you are.

Also, since when are the 90s old?

As long as the film is in good condition, there's no reason it can't look phenomenal on blu-ray regardless of the year in which it was produced.

Don't forget, 35mm film has a higher resolution than even 1080p. Even classics from the 30s can look amazing since they were shot on film. The upcoming Wizard of Oz box set is going to be fantastic, and Robin Hood (1939) is a revelation.

Unless the film elements are in bad shape, there's no reason a film from the 1930s all the way through the 1990s can't look great in high-def.

I should say it's older than any Blu-ray than I've been considering buying. I do take a lot of stock in what the reviewer on this site and you guys think.

As far as Blu-rays, I've not seen any movies from before 2000.
