Once again you've convinced me. I grabbed it from Amazon, which still has it for under $10. Have you watched the documentary yet?

Anyone have a recommendation for a 4k Bluray to get to test out a new 4k tv? Looking for an actual good movie and not a bad spiderman or return of the mummy king movie. I really wish there was some classics on this format like Pulp Fiction or Dazed and Confused.

Arrival is noted to be from a 2K DI which is a shame, but plenty of those have looked good.

I saw The Holiday on Netflix at a friend's house and it seemed significantly more grainy than the HD-DVD (but I did watch that disc years ago so it could just be my memory. and I wouldn't consider grainy a bad thing. it still looked significantly better even though I think his set doesn't support HDR)

Sony is great about making their 4K remasters perfect, so I'd assume it's simply how the film looks. Especially since it's a mid-80s film shot in Panavision with soft focus and a lot of optical effects.

If you're watching an old movie and it doesn't have grain, that means that it's been scrubbed to hell and back by some form of DNR and isn't worth your time or money. Labyrinth looks great, but it also is an 80s fantasy movie for children... that's what should be the make or break for you. Not loving grain.

What's funny is that noise reducing grain too much actually makes the image look softer and less detailed. When grain is properly resolved, it actually increases the apparent detail. The caps I posted of The Jazz Singer look alright, but in motion, the visible detail is way higher.

It's too bad they tossed the 8K scans of Baraka after down-converting to 1080p for the current Blurays (or so the story goes) so we still have to wait for the ongoing remastering to finish up before that can be the go-to suggestion.

Worse, the Blu-Ray hasn't aged very well. It's kind of harsh and digital looking today. They could have gone back to the scans and make a fresh 4K downscale that looked perfect. Especially since FotoKem does incredible work with large format scans. They handled the 8K scans of Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Sound of Music, and The Master.

Empress Brosephine posted:Is there a better version to get of The Adventures of Robin Hood? There's only one Blu-Ray so far. It's not quite as sharp as later restorations like The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind since it was only done at 2K for the 2003 DVD, but still looks nice. Main issue is that it's just a little light on contrast and compression could be better. It also has only Dolby Digital 1.0 sound instead of DTS-HD. I doubt it's a priority to re-do unless they prep it for UHD.

Especially since it's a mid-80s film shot in Panavision with soft focus and a lot of optical effects. Absolutely, it's probably the most accurate home release it'll ever get. It's a really nice steel book too, I'm definitely glad I picked it up. zenintrude posted:If you're watching an old movie and it doesn't have grain, that means that it's been scrubbed to hell and back by some form of DNR and isn't worth your time or money. Aliens is one of the exceptions, as it was shot on an experimental film stock that reacted waaay grainier in darker situations that expected and Cameron spent a great deal of time cleaning it up. In some respect I think the graininess really suits it as it feels so distant, but the remaster job is superb so it's a tie up really. And yeah, people will probably already know if they like Labyrinth or not, but some might just prefer a DVD or bluray copy of it at a cheaper price (although $17 is a good price for any solid UHD).

Anybody doing a blu release for Night Train to Terror or Sex World is a-ok in my book. When blu first appeared, I never suspected that it would become a nice format for neglected cult films. But here we are. They're the only physical releases I even buy any more.
