Older movies can and frequently do look excellent on BD. It depemds on the source, and how well the transfer is done. Read some of the reviews of The Wizard of Oz on Blu-ray. I'm currently watching the BD of The Prisoner- a British TV show from 1967-you would never know that by looking at it (except for the lava lamps. :-) )I'm quite partial to Blade Runner in HD. Most of my collection is catalog titles. Some don't look so great, others do. This really depends on how much time, energy and money the studio wants to put into it.
HTH,
