1776- DVD & Blu-Ray
Star Trek TOS- DVD & Blu-Ray(so worth it- the restorations are remarkable
James Bond- DVD & Blue Ray- Possibly even more worth it- The Main Titles compilation is retina searing in a good way, and the snow-scapes in OHMSS show every sparkle of the pristine snow fields.
I've seen some of ST-TNG in hi Def and it look remarkable. It's a shame DS9 will never be seen in Hi Def- it feels like there's a lot of eye candy to be revealed.

I shouldn't ask if I want to save my money, but what and where is this main titles compilation? Is it just what it sounds like, a special feature that plays all the title songs in order? What set is it on?

Double-dipping is for young punks and amateurs. If you've been in this hobby since the beginning, you're now bitchin' about quadruple-dipping, baby!
i bought a version of the Wild Bunch on phillips double decker tape. Not sure if this was totally pukka.
But it had more secenes than the uk tv version (the scene of Robert Ryan being whipped in prison)
Then i got the original Warner home video Vhs of Wild Bunch. Which had more clips (bo hopkins saying Well how would like to kiss ma...etc)
Later on im sure i had another VHS cover, same version altho it may have been more widescreen.
Then i got the first dvd version where you turned the disc over halfway thru the film!
I havent yet moved to bluray.

Yes, if you really like a film, you're not going to make do with what you have if something much better comes along, & a lot the time the new editions are cheaper than the old editions were. Of all the Blu-rays I have where I had the VHS, the VHS was more expensive! Just think of the price of those Universal horror VHSs, these great Blu-ray legacy sets are working out a lot cheaper per film.
In the early part of the VHS era, circa 1980, studios priced movies at somewhere around $100 per tape (about $270 in today's money). They were intended for sale to rental stores only.
Then it became apparent that a lot of consumers wanted to buy movies, but not at that price, so "sell-through" pricing was introduced. If I recall, a typical film might have gone down to $20, which still translates to over $50 today.
