I know it's about the history of films and the culture of films, but i'm just stating why we want the originals.

That IS why we want the originals (well, why I want the originals - I can't speak for everyone).

If this offends anyone or gives the wrong impression, then I'm sorry.

No offense taken... it just appeared as though you are trying to draft a message representing all of us. As such, I thought you would want some input so that you could make sure it indeed represents the group as a whole.

p.s. - you actually have two typos in your sig - the first is a simple "the" instead of "they". The second is some sort of incorrect html tag that makes the buttons at the bottom of your posts look strange. I didn't even know that was possible :)
