Here are the 4K titles via iTunes;

A Dry White Season
Ben-Hur (2016)
Cyrano
The Great Escape
Hercules (2014)
Hot Pursuit (2015)
House of Gucci
The Hustle
If I Stay
Rain Man
Tomb Raider (2018)
If buying on VUDU/Fandango at Home, buy a gift card on the site for $100 while using the code APRIL24 to purchase it at $90 instead of $100. Once it arrives and you load it up you'll be able to buy the collection with our $100 gift card amount. I actually didn't have 66 of these movies so doing it this way, my cost was $1.36/movie. If you don't have any of them your cost would be $.89/movie.
Remember buying from Vudu gives you zero 4k upgrade rights.
With iTunes, if it gets upgraded to 4k, you get it.

Quote from RyanR5412 :
Yes and Sony only backed off after there was significant backlash to the decision to remove their access to "purchased" content but they still could have gone through with it anyway.

It's not a purchase. It's a rental with no defined end date. You will own nothing and like it.
You're buying a right to watch it without any restriction: you can watch it as many times as you want and any time you want. But removing it will violate that right. I'm no lawyer but I'm sure a case can be made. The solution would be to give customers the refund but I think that's why Flixter and UV decided to merge their libraries with VUDU to avoid the class action lawsuits.

Also, the studios and digital platform made a mutually beneficial business agreement. Some people buy the physical media to get the digital copy and vice versa. I can name quite a few TV series which the digital isn't for sale from VUDU or iTunes, only available from digital code included in the physical media. Studios have to reimburse VUDU or iTunes whenever someone redeem the digital code included in the physical media. That's why Warner Bros decided to hard expire the MA codes because that's pure profit in accounting. The other studios that decided not to expire the digital code has to set aside money in case the digital code gets redeemed. I was told that VUDU and iTunes pay studios some money to get their product included in the physical media, and they get reimbursed a lot more when someone redeems the code. In a way, they are banking on getting some revenue from physical media sale.

There is this guy on Reddit who purchased 14,000 movies on VUDU. I don't think he has time to watch everything. If VUDU decides to disappear, I'm sure the guy would want to sue to get his money back.

Again, I don't think VUDU or iTunes can simply disappear without transferring people's paid libraries to another platform.

Quote from SlickGame612 :
Which is why they found another platform to take over their customers and their libraries. They're not obligated to do it, but a major player like Apple dropping out of the digital movie space would likely find a taker for their customers and libraries to provide stability. It's not required, however.
Yeah, but to go as far as accepting the legacy Flixter and UltraViolet digital codes, that had nothing to do with providing stability or maintaining customers' libaries.

It's in SD and they verified it. Don't purchase if you want HD and above.
Just want to update that Apple fixed the SD issue. The movies are available in 4K and HD now.

Man, lot's of great titles there. And then you come across some and go....what? Like...Art School Confidential. And others...how in the world do some of these even get selected to be included. Just weird they mix some real trash in with real classics/gems. Now....trying to figure how many I may or may not have.

I am not a digital only kind of consumer, however, I did buy this on Vudu. I wish I had seen the posting for the gift card at $90 first... But oh well.

Before purchase, I did chat with a rep online and asked if this was a mix of SD and HDX. She informed me that these are all HDX quality. I have 4K TVs throughout the house and briefly check the quality on a title. It played very well, not as good as physical media, but many of these titles are from a generation or two ago. One of the movies in this bundle is Witness for the Prosecution. It is a black and white movie but is an excellent watch. I have it on physical media already and we'll watch it that way. Many of the other titles here are either not available on Blu-ray or just not available on any present day media. Another quick example is the Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming. 4.7 stars, $19 for the Blu-ray and it does not come with a digital copy. I feel that the streaming quality of this title is probably very close to a Blu-ray and is definitely better than the alternatives of DVD and VHS.

For those buying on Vudu, the titles do not populate your library individually but are stacked as a single bundle. A word search will reveal them properly, it's just that when you are looking from newest to oldest or in alphabetical order, they will not show up individually. The rep that I talk to said she would escalate this to correct this in the future.

I wish MoviesAnywhere was a little bit more cooperative in buying titles in iTunes and Vudu. It's all about licensing. you should truly be aware that licensing issues, whether they be for cable, streaming services, etc are always a risk. This is why I prefer physical media, but hey, this was kind of a very good price to take that gamble and watch some of these classics in a pretty good quality format.

What a disappointing bundle of movies to celebrate 100 years of one of greatest dream factories …..MGM.
How embarrassing for them to even post this!
And people are really going to pay $100
I'm waiting for the sale or price error on James Bond 25-movie collection. I'd much rather they keep the good stuff separate. I hate it when Warner put Lord of the Ring on different volumes and missing one of them even if you get all the volumes.

A sobering dose of reality that absolutely no one asked for: every single physical item you "own" right down to your own body falls under a similarly revocable license (death), so I personally don't sweat the potential revocation of my digital movies too much.

THANK YOU! Bought the iTunes/Apple TV version as any of the HD versions that get released as 4k will be upgraded. If you buy the VUDU version all your movies will be inside the MGM bundle (they don't populate the library as individual movies). $1 movies with only 7 previous duplicates. True to OP's word NONE of the movies show up in Movies Anywhere. Maybe one day.

And they just removed Hercules 1983 which was added as an error so the average just jumped higher. Leaving Hot Pursuit and Biodome as the bottom of the barrel.

Agreed. The vast bulk of all physical media ever produced starting with vinyl records, cassette tapes, 8 track, VHS and beta max, and cds are now rotting in trash heaps around the world as I type.

And now folks are finding what they want to watch on digital platforms and rarely if ever touch their 'old dvds'. Which many are now throwing out too.

So statistically physical media ends up in a dump when we're gone and I'm guessing the issue with digital collections in the future will be lost passwords and logins after folks pass on. Same Junk. One physical one digital.
