Why does 35mm film look so great at large sizes?

I’ve been thinking about this recently. I’ve noticed many old music videos and television shows. Specifically old Beatles music videos and old Twilight Zone episodes have been remastered for Blu-ray with almost no imperfections whatsoever. My question is, how is it that something shot on 35mm film can looks so clear when transcribed to digital? How is it that it can project so large on a screen when the film itself is so tiny?

Thank you
