But for now, here are ten films that I’d love to see in 4k with HDR and improved audio formats, in no particular order. There are hundreds more, if not thousands of movies that could be considered for Ultra HD Blu-ray or Digital 4k. But, for the most part film restorations usually offer a new experience from movies you may have watched a dozen times before. What’s more, there are times when the director may have chosen a not-so-sharp cut of a scene just because the acting may have been better (there were limits on takes in the negative film days). There are frames that might seem blurry by today’s focus standards even after restoration. Older films (pre-digital cameras) were not always perfect. But, already restored films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Blade Runner, and Saving Private Ryan are a testament to how 4k/HDR and immersive audio can bring new life to classic titles.
There are quite a few classics already headed our way like It’s a Wonderful Life, American Gangster, and The Wizard of OZ.
Every time I see an old movie now I wonder what it would look like with a new remaster on Ultra HD Blu-ray.
