It is indeed pretty obvious that the 40s are regarded like this but at least from the announcements for US releases it is obvious that the 50s and 60s do not fare better.
It is just an observation though and not a complaint. While we might be doing rather fine with 80s and 90s and even 70s catalog it would be incorrect to say that we are doing fine with catalog in general as other decades certainly are much less well represented. Two of these decades, the 50s and 60s, also offer widescreen and color movies that have the potential to look very good on Blu-Ray so one might expect more releases of movies made during those years. In the end if it sells good enough I am sure we will see more older catalog but I have a feeling it will be less and later than on DVD for a long time.
