Anyone Know Much About UMD (PSP) Movies?

Not quite sure if this should go into "Playing Games" or "Movies..." but whatever.

So I recently added to my pile of video game boxes some PSP movies - I have some Family Guy bits, I've got Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Starship Troopers, Ghostbusters, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and Dodgeball. I also have Spiderman 2, as it came with the PSP, so there's also that.

I was wondering if anyone had a list of UMD movies available (that's not an eBay link) and some info on why they were discontinued. I had heard that it's more expensive to manufacture UMD movies than DVDs, and since it's a smaller market, companies aren't getting the return they want, so production shut down.

They stopped making them because nobody was buying them. The only people who could even play them were psp owners, and they certainly weren't buying psps to watch movies on a tiny screen.

As for what movies there are; That's what wiki is for.
