The GOUT at that time could be over 50 years outdated by then.
virtually EVERY movie has had a DVD release

Technically the SW trilogy has been released on DVD now with the GOUT, it just happens to be an incredible poor quality release. But yeah, it is incredible far fetched to say virtually every movie has been released on DVD, there are TONS of movies not on DVD, sadly. The most popular of the films that haven't officially been released have fortunately had fan made VHS or LD transfers, but the less popular films are probably doomed to never be officially released.
