No next gen format is going to cater to the 55 - 65 crowd. How many copies do you think any of those movies would sell on Blu-ray? Several hundred? A few thousand? Seriously, you may see a few of those movies released in High Definition, but it won't be soon (Sony is working on Lawrence of Arabia). The problem is that those titles won't contribute to the $: the return on the investment to get those movies in decent shape for a High Definition presentation will bring little to nothing to the bottom line.
It might be that I'm "younger" than my age would suggest, but I didn't see one title you listed that I would buy. You might want to stick to DVD/VHS to avoid disappointment.
