If anyone cares, Dragonslayer (1981) is finally coming out on Blu-ray and 4K next year. It's available for pre-order on Amazon.
The movie is definitely a fan cult favorite needing a modern restoration and release.
4K, meh. Blu-ray for me is the way to go. Digital would be another nice bonus.
Getting a proper WS treatment would be suh-weet, seeing it panned and scanned into 480i resolution sucked.
The price announced isn't so horrible, I was expecting it to be a lot more expensive. *Pre-ordered*
2001 - A space odyssey is ancient but one of the best - if not the best- UHDs I have. Saving private Ryan is close. The sound upgrade at the beginning when they land on the beaches is giving gooose bumps.I find many old movies come out in 4k really well. Unforgiven is a good example. Looks gorgeous. But many also just look grainy and the Blu-Ray of it would have been enough. You know a good Blu-Ray. Some of the 4k titles I have don't look as good as some of the Blu-Rays.
..and BTW. I only listen to the original English sound tracks. So it's not so important to me.

Please let me know when you are done. Highly interesting!That's how I feel about the UHD of Star Wars 4, 5 and 6 so this is my ongoing project

Funny you mention that. One of my top 3 favorite movies is Open Range. It's a GORGEOUS and awesome movie. The only way I could get it in Blu-ray was to buy a German version of it and just rip it with the English track. If anyone releases that in 4k I am buying it immediately but since it was DVD only in the US I doubt that will happen.
Man, he will leave his wife if you do favors like this .you can upload the film to me if you want, I'll make you a 4K version of it with HDR10 4000nits and DTS:X (if it has a 5.1 sound)
