I have only seen screenshots (or pictures taken with a digital camera) of HD and Blu-Ray films, and they do look terrific (e.g. Casablanca, The Departed). But I'm wondering if it is a good thing if they look even better than the print itself (sharpness, contrast, and stuff like that). 

I'd definitely also appreciate it more if Criterion would restore obscure films or titles that are difficult to obtain. But I guess even they have to make some money
