I hope we get 'The Last Samurai' on 4K soon.

[@ninjafoxgamesgeekery]

Long overdue!

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

YES!

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

Boy those colors on Barry Lyndon on your screen shots are beautiful. I have never seen that movie. But I want to see it. And yes TMNT is screaming for a 4K upgrade!

[@Gaminating]

I need No Country For Old Men

[@agwarden]

Same, and Dead Ringers

[@jacobguerrero1632]

Yes I would love that movie on 4k!

[@rachelblake2350]

I went to CEX a couple of weeks ago and saw No Country on 4K. I snatched it up, only to look at it closer and realise that someone in the back room had clearly just grabbed whatever box they could reach for the regular Blu-ray when putting it out on the shelf, not realising the deep cut personal rollercoaster I would go on when I saw it only to have my heart broken.

[@mg6945]

Now that Paramount is finally digging into the Miramax titles I do really hope it’s happening

[@kevinkoch6900]

Seen a Zillion movies. That one is in my top 3.

Amadeus 4K restoration was recently presented at the Academy Museum to a sold out audience. Even if it’s December, I want to see it on 4K UHD for its 40th anniversary. Nice predictions!

Yeah man, hopefully in time for Xmas.

[@blakeevans8210]

We also don't have a 4K release of "Lolita". I've been waiting on that one (particularly from Criterion, at least on Blu-ray) for years. (I know Warner put out an old Blu-ray years ago.)

[@twcc406]

@@blakeevans8210 Quite correct, we almost have the full set of 4K UHDs for the Kubrick canon of work ... just missing 'Lolita', 'Barry Lyndon' and 'Eyes Wide Shut'. I suspect Frank Tarzi at Kino Lorber may be our saviour on these but, maybe, Warner Bros or Criterion will come good.

[@jmchez]

Ben-Hur, El Cid, Cleopatra, All That Jazz and Sorcererer are classics that should come out on 4K.

[@kenleblanc_936]

El Cid needs it so badly. I am begging for a North American release. Heck, I’d take a region a blu ray. I thought for sure Ben hur was a lock for this year but it’s not looking too good. El Cid is one of two movies that are at the top of my list for a blu ray or 4k release in North America. The other is John Wayne’s the Alamo and next year is the 65th anniversary. I really hope it finally happens. Those two movies would be amazing. I could finally retire my DVDs.

[@Reggaebeatman]

I got el Cid Bluray though i have to say needs restoration.😢

[@kenleblanc_936]

@@Reggaebeatman yea there are releases of el cid in France, Australia, Germany but they’re based on the 30 year old restoration they did in the 90s. They used the same master for the dvd. Is a crying shame, it’s such a great movie and deserves better treatment. Sadly, it seems like Weinstein still owns it. I sure hope something comes by the anniversary in 2026. It sure would be a good candidate for a kino lorber title- maybe even criterion.

Barry Lyndon in 4K for the 50th anniversary is a must ... hopefully, 'Kubrick by Candlelight' will be included as an extra; the current Criterion Blu-ray, issued in 2017, is from a 4K master. As an aside, I am hopeful for an 'Eyes Wide Shut' 4K in late 2024 as that movie is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

[@sashadomonji7569]

Clint Eastwood movies Two Mules for Sister Sara, Kellys Heroes (55 year anniversary 2025), The Eiger Sanction (50 year), Pale Rider (40 year), The Bridges of Madison County (30 year), Space Cowboys (25 year). Hopefully we'll finally get a 4K release of The Outlaw Josey Wales (50 year in 2026)

[@mikehailer9353]

Amadeus!!! Been waiting patiently for years for a 4k with (hopefully) both cuts - Director's & Theatrical.

It will be the 35th Anniversary for Edward Scissorhands and the 26th for Fight Club so it is the perfect time for both but Disney so who knows. Edward Scissorhands is in 4K on streaming so the scan must have been done.

The Book Of Eli. It’s one of the most underrated apocalypse movies of all time. It’s got Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman for crying out loud. It would be absolutely amazing on 4k.

Anniversaries are a great way to predict Warner Bros releases, other studios less so. My predictions are based more on what I'm seeing rolling out on 4K lately, which is a lot of movies that were 90's and 2000's comedies or appealed to teenagers at that time. I feel like 'Clueless' is probably coming soon. It's the 25th anniversary for 'Cruel Intentions' this year, but I have yet to hear about a remastering, yet it's a big teen movie of the time and I think it will get a 4K release. I'm not sure if WB will wait for anniversary for 'Austin Powers', I wouldn't be surprised if they just did it sooner. As for other high profile titles, I think 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' has got to come sometime soon. I would guess 'Chicago' too. As for lower profile releases, there is a 4K remastering of 'Wake In Fright' in the works, so I won't be surprised if Criterion or somebody release that one on physical next year.
