Most movies are originate on film rather than video tape. It is only in fairly recent years that they have been originated in a video format. The effective resolution of film is far higher than standard definitions television and indeed is higher than HD television as well.
Converting from film to a video format will result in a resolution equivalent to the television format because the film resolution will normally be higher than the television format. The majority of broadacsters are now moving to HD telecine equipment (The device that converts film to video). We should expect to see better quality when we watch movies in HD even if the original content is relatively old.
Not that movies made for television are often shot directly to video. If the video format was standard definition when the program was made, the quality will always remain standard definition. Although broadcasters may well convert the SD content into an HD format, the quality will NOT become HD.

Why are old movies better than new movies?
The perception that old movies are better than new movies is subjective and can vary among individuals. Some may prefer older movies for their nostalgia, storytelling techniques, or artistic qualities, while others may appreciate newer movies for their modern themes, special effects, or diverse perspectives. Both old and new movies can offer unique and valuable cinematic experiences.

How can old movies be in High definition?
You cannot take an old movie and make it HD, Newer movies are recorded in HD resolutions. such as 1280x720. -------------------------------- Actually, that's not true. Older movies are shot on film, not in digital format but that doesn't mean they're not high resolution. Old movies can be remastered into high resolution digital format so that they are every bit as good as newer movies shot in digital, high def format. The confusion stems from seeing old classic movies on standard TV, which is low resolution and thinking that this must be the way the movies were created. It is not. In a theatre, these old black and white films have incredible clarity. Eventually, we'll start seeing all the old classics in HD.
