Thomas, you also have highlighted only films released in Region 1/Zone A. Several of the other titles have come out on DVD in various European countries.
I'm glad this thread got "bumped" as I'd forgotten about it. Very interesting to note that 26 films listed in post No. 1 have now been released on Blu-ray disc. We are making progress even if not as quickly as we'd like.
