The Caine Mutiny was actually re-released with new cover art just last year. Both of these movies were in the Davinci Code free ticket promotion. I had held out for some time, but getting a free movie ticket and the disc for 9.99 each was a deal.
don't see myself upgrading anytime soon...possibly if i find them at a low low price and the picture quality is better.

the real surprise would be if Sony would actually release a pre 1980 film, like these, on Bluray (but I ain't holding my breath - they just continue to release average Hollywood fodder in HiDef).
