Physical media better not go away. Streaming can't compare
I agree if I pay for something I want to be able to hold it or touch it with my own hands.
It never will, I guarantee it. Streaming however will go away in the near future.
stanfordite lol you’re delusional
toad he
@@MaximusTheChosenOne You're the one who's delusional. Physical will be only legal way to watch movies at home in the future and streaming will be illegal. Netflix will be shut down by the government and Blockbuster Video and other rental chains will rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
I would love to see Gone With the Wind and Casablanca in 4k.
Yeah and song of the south has never officially seen dvd or blu ray release. Sjws ruin everything
@@chadbrick67 Come on now.I would consider myself to be liberal and I definitely want to see Gone with the Wind in 4 k.
@@chadbrick67 😨😨
@@chadbrick67 You're a sick pup. Seek professional help.
that be amazing
Off the internet: "Using state of the art technology, a new 8K 16bit scan of the original Technicolor camera negative became the basis for the 4K UHD scan. The process was overseen by MPI colorist Janet Wilson, who has overseen every remaster of The Wizard of Oz for the past 20 years."
Good info! Thanks for adding that
The HDR makes all the difference, rather than the saturated bluray or luminance squeezed DVD version, the 4k version looks like it was shot yesterday, the skin tones are spot on as are the wonderful 1930s cellulose plants on the set. The film grain is epic, not surprising given that it is three negatives combined, but on the plus side, the level of detail is amazing too, even down to the weave of Dorothy's dress or the hairs of the Lion's costume.
@@davidhunt240 I'd say the Dolby Vision version is total Boss. Dolby Vision shows 68.7 billion colours whereas HDR10 is limited to and 1.07 billion colours
Would love to see Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein, Heat, Contact, Top Gun.
Brian Miller great choices! I just watched Young Frankenstein this evening on Blu Ray!
Brian Miller. TOP GUN 1 on UHD is planned at 2020!
TOP GUN 4K Dolby Atmos remix is a must
What’s your opinion about The Godfather trilogy getting a 4K release with atmos
@@MrJgonz2009 ATMOS on those movies (1+3 mono) doesn't make any sense
I think you got the "Blu Ray/4K" comparison backwards? Or maybe I'm the only one who thinks the Blu Ray looks sharper, crisper, clearer.
You’re not the only one who thought exactly that.
This dude is delusional
@@t1g3r8mj2 No, people, he's not delusional! This is one of the problems of displaying such images on You Tube. The 2K can actually LOOK WORSE than the 4K. So, his verbal descriptions are more accurate than the image comparison.
yeah, i was confused af
@@dpastor6631 the other way around? The 4K can look worse than the 2K?
I wanna see Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hurr restored in 4K
There is a 4k of Lawrence of Arabia which is a great transfer. It's not available in physical, only digital.
Coming in 2020!!!
@@kidneythief91 physical media?
TonyZi YEP! Date TBA but hold off on those digital purchases, bc it’s coming!
Existing Blu-rays of Ben-Hur and Lawrence comes from 4K masters. They just need HDR pass.
Hey, could you do a review of Scarface on 4K. It was released last week.
Hey man, your videos are excellent. Just to clarify, it is not a new master, and is not at 4K, it is the same one that was made for the 70th anniversary, since that was done at 8K. Now in this 80th anniversary release, they worked on the same master, it was only to add the HDR codecs.
Like from the tape I hade in 89? That one was better than tv for sure.
Would love to see Ben Hur in 4k with that 70mm
The only other film with 70mm Super Pannavision is 2001: A Space Oddesy Iv watched that 4 times already 50th Anniversary Edition and that absolutely totally blew my mind I don't believe their is a 4K restoration that will beat that!!!.
I mean 70mm Super Pannavision for 1968 was super expensive but thank god they used the absolute best tech at the time.
Marc Davis Yes!!! 2001 : A Space Odyssey was amazing, with these older films on 4K really are stunning. I watched it with my grandma and she couldn’t believe how good it looked.
Noah Fogarty Id love for that, when i got ghost busters 1&2 i was kinda bummed how must noise it had
@@SamBueno the detials were just draw dropping like ov never seen anything like it before. The sheer amount of attention to detials were incredible. Up untill the 4K 50th Anniversary Edition Id only ever watched it a handful of times over the years but this was something else. Yes definitely in fact I can say holdhertly that 80-90% of films made from the 60' up untill the 90's seems to benifit the most and look way water than most of the current films.
But I stand my ground I dought any films will beat or even surpass 2001: Space Oddesy for the sheer amount of work that went into that restoration. Its the amount of attention to details throughout in my belief I'm 40 years old now and that is my all time 1st ony sifi list apart from Star Trek as I'm a big treky 😎. Peace ✌️ out from London, UK 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Marc Davis Ben Hur was not shot in Super Panavision, but *Ultra* Panavision, which has an even wider frame. And 2001 is hardly the only film shot in Super Panavision. Other examples are Lawrence of Arabia, My fair Lady, West Side Story, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Tron or most recently, 2017's Murder on the Orient Express.
Why a QLED? You should have an OLED if you're an enthusiast.
I want The Man with No Name trilogy to get a 4k release
It is, from Kino Lorber. They're using the same transfers, but they'll be "fixing" the colors, apparently.
Those were shot in Techniscope, which is all the width but half the height of 35mm, 16mm, so, unless the Kino Lorber transfers were DNR-ed, those should look grainy but interesting in 4K.
I just got a boner reading this.
@@me-sy4um I'm glad to hear that! I'd love to see those in 4k!
@@marcuswilliams6840 Kino Lorber actually updated saying that it's not happening now.
I'd like to have Spartacus or the Ten Commandments remastered in 4K
The Ten Commandments looks fantastic on blu-ray. If properly upscaled to 4k, I think it would look absolutely amazing!
Spartacus is coming to 4k actually
Both these movies have come out now... Spartacus is simply amazing
Ten Commandments 4K is incredible. Certain shots look like they were filmed in the late 90s. It looks as good as it ever has
I would love to see “West Side Story” in 4K restoration.
Hope they upgrade the audio to Atmos...
perry nestel yeah that would be awesome!
Wolfman. Well the original was/is booooooring i will wait for Spielberg remake version
Jim Cameron No way!! Absolutely disagree..it displays the life of the streets of those days. It’s such a perfectly beautiful movie for that time with true art that I honestly don’t see in today’s movies and the story is so well told that people like myself can identify. But you’re entitled to your opinion one that I surely don’t agree with it.
@@chadbrick67 F...y...t.... Sir bye bye
I have always loved The Wizard of Oz and really looking forward to this 4k. Thank You for your excellent review and info!
Universal can go DEEP into their vault...they have some of the most iconic and well remembered films of the 30s and 40s with their Universal Monsters films. Although for whatever reason I have doubts they'll go beyond Blu Ray with a lot of those.
The classic Western, "Shane" would be amazing in 4k HDR.
As far as a classic title goes, I’d love to see Warner release King Kong (1933) in 4K, if it is even possible to do with a movie that old!
I believe that movie was restored many years back from a 35mm negative to 4k scan.
The very reason the dvd looked fantastic,
I do not think its a question of if, but more when...
As a lot of people have been requesting it sir.
John Patrick Fay I do agree with your opinion sir. I bought the Blu Ray release ten years ago! It is exemplary, especially played on a 4K player and displayed on a UHD TV! I do hope what you state does happen
@@johnpatrickfay5288 that doesn’t make sense. They would’ve scaled it down for the dvd format.
@@SuckMyJohnson
Both the blue ray and dvd where remastered from a HD cut.
The master I believe, had an even higher cut, possibly 4k straight to the vault for preservation.
The dvd is a much cleaner cut than earlier renditions
But it still stems from a 33 print..
Didnt think it looked any better than the blu ray
I found a brand new factory sealed 70th anniversary 2 disc edition of the wizard of oz on dvd a couple weeks ago at one of my goodwills for $4! I wasn't gonna let that go so I had to get it! 😁👍
That's awesome! 😄
There's no a new 4K restoration. The previous Blu-ray was already based on 4K master from 8K scan.
I have this in 3D Blu-ray and think they did a great job with it. And a few years back, my wife and I went to a local AMC theater and watch this movie in IMAX 3D and it was fabulous.
3D BLU RAY IS BEST VERSION I WAS AMAZED WHEN WATCHED IN 3d on a 1939 movie wow
Omg yes!! I love how they gave depth to the background matter painting to make it feel real.
3D 🤢
I didn't even know there was a 3D version! I definitely need to check this out!
Thank you for bringing this up!
You forgot the massive catalog of Universal and ESPECIALLY MGM! They may not be pushing the 4K new transfers as well as Warner. But the catalogs are most definitely there! With Sony pushing the optical drive on PS5, I think we will see the 4K library heat up a lot!
But they will make you install the entire game on the hard drive. Which say to me, this will very likely be the last optical drive in a Playstation!
That is not true. You won't have to install entire games on the PS5. You only have to install parts of the game that you want. For example if you only want to play Multiplayer then you can install only that. Or if you only want to install a single player campaign then you can do that.
I wish Disney would let Fox do a 4K of 'The Sound of Music'.
I would like to see some more of the old Technicolor films in 4K Blu-Ray. Black Narcissus by Michael Powell probably has the most amazing use of color of any film that I have ever seen. Other Powell and Pressburger films from that era would also be great with 4K/HDR such as The Red Shoes, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, and A Matter of Life and Death.
In black and white, I would like to see The Third Man and Odd Man Out by Carol Reed in 4K. Also The Sweet Smell of Success by Alexander Mackendrick. All three films have amazing black and white cinematography and amazing city scenes at night.
I recently watched blu-rays of Mrs. Miniver and The Best Years of Our Lives from Warner, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington from Sony, and all 3 were also excellent releases.
BLACK NARCISSUS is currently carried by Criterion, which won't be doing UHD any time soon. Same with COLONEL BLIMP.
I'm 27 years old and this is literally one if my fave movies since I was 13 years old and I needed this thank you.
Currently just sat down to this. Can’t wait to see how good it looks. Any word if they are going to do Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory in 4K?
I am from the future. Yes lol back in 2021
What does the age of the film have to do with the quality of the transfer? Once the film was cleaned for the first transfer, it just needs to be rescanned every few years. The only thing here that is amazing in how they converted a mono track into 7.1 sound.
Film if stored properly can last hundreds of years and IB Technicolor which this movie was shot on, was and is one of the best film types to be created.
Oh and my preferred physical media type is Film!
I prefer film as well. I have an IB Technicolor print of "The Wizard Of Oz". But then again the print was 2.5K in cost. I pick up video releases because they are so inexpensive. I collect both and with the less expensive video formats I can own more titles but I still prefer projected film prints.
@@tompennock6369 is your copy of the wizard of oz 35mm or 16mm? IB Technicolor prints are $$$ but that is what I would expect from the greatest film ever made. Most I ever spent on a print was $250 and almost spent $125 on a 16mm trailer for Star wars The Force Awakens. But LPP film is good enough for me and movies are a few hundred not a few thousand. But I also collect BluRay movies along with LaserDiscs. But film is my one true love, the others I just like and as you said, they are a lot cheaper.
@@andrewbarnum5040
Hi Andy:
My Tech print of "The Wizard Of Oz" is in the 16mm format. When Technicolor closed up in Burbank a film editor friend of mine found many brand new Technicolor films that had been in storage for many many years. They had not even been assembled yet. I bought a lab mint print of "Thunderball" in Technicolor and Scope for close to 3K. Also I have a print of "The Sound Of Music" in Scope. It's a beautiful print. At the time that was 1.5K which is not bad at all for this type of print. Also I have many other IB Tech prints of favorite Jerry Lewis films I like so much. Film is indeed the best. The color is really Technicolor and not "electronic" color. I like low fade stocks too like Kodak LPP. I am trying to locate a low fade print of "On Golden Pond" . The 35mm and 16mm theatricals were struck on Kodak SP and the color has shifted. Kodak SP is a slight bit better than eastmanolor film stock. But I want either an LPP print of "On Golden Pond" or Agfa 1S or 2S or later Fuji 'low fade" film stock. I collect video since it is so inexpensive. I collected laservision years back.
All Best,
Tom (tapennock@aol.com )

sorry, but blu ray looks far better to my eyes. No competition. And I ain't blind (yet).
@OotzybOotzy MJ Mixes true, but not impossible.
Blu ray looked better to me as well
You have a 4k projector and qled tv but dont wanna shell out for a 4k drive for pc? they are like $160 bucks on amazon. On top of that you could either rip the disc yourself with many "non 4k" drives, or download a ripped version from online (not piracy if you own the disc right? :) ) and do the screen caps that way
We're those pics labeled backwards? Because every Blu-ray half, looked better than the 4K half.
My fav movies are Goodfellas and Scarface
Mine too.
It would be optimal if your upload was 4K and HDR.... 1080p TH-cam is not always great for comparisons of 4K stuff....
I bought a brand new 4K drive for my pc from Best Buy for $100.
Dude your videos are good but pay attention to the camera focus. You are completely out of focus and the blu ray behind you are in focus. This is annoying for the eyes.
Honestly, the difference really isn't that much, brighter colours sure but not much else beyond that. This is why 4k is a waste of money on older content. Things that weren't filmed in 4k aren't going to see any real benefits from being upscaled. 1080p is the way to go with most films and then you should only buy 4k films that were filmed in 4k.
This is 35mm, so it was technically filmed at much higher than 4K. You should watch my video on why older movies look better on 4K
@@JeffRauseo I'll give it a watch, but the problem with upscaling is that you can't add extra detail to the picture, most people won't see any actual difference between 1080 vs upscaled to 4k. Maybe a bit of overall smoothness to the picture but it's incredibly hard to notice anything unless your vision is phenomenal. I'm all for 4k content, but I don't see enough of a difference to invest in upgrading my blu ray collection to 4k.
@@richardskelding4528 Or your 4K (REAL 4K JVC/Sony) homecinema screen image size is 3 meters/120 inch wide like mine/Shane SpareChange ....
@@richardskelding4528 For the record, this movie had the Negative rescanned at 8K, and then scaled down for the 4K UHD. This new release is a wonder to behold for fans, esp. if you can view on a big screen to absorb all the detail 4K has to offer on this title.
good video! i will be getting this 4k Judy Garland is the best wish they would release Meet Me in St Louis in 4k. I wonder if Star Wars would benefit from a 4k transfer?
I like your videos, probably should upgrade your channel to 4k....lol
I really want the Kieslowski Colors-trilogy on 4k. AND BRING LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ALREADY!!
Criterion has the Colors trilogy, and they aren't doing UHD yet.
I don't know what it is, but every time I watch a video from this guy, I'm in the mood for some popped corn.
I watched your video on a 4k 10bit computer monitor. I can see the differences. However, I'm a still wondering why all of your uploads to TH-cam are maxed out at a 1080p resolution?
I just upload in 1080p because it’s an easier file size to deal with. Uploading in 4K takes hours
@@JeffRauseo Oh I see how that would be a problem.
Films At Home what kind of camera are you using? Mine never take hours. I have a good 25 4K vids and they are equally as long as yours. Some longer. Maybe a 45-1 hour wait.
The real problem is keeping the raw video native and hard drive space. I have chewed up 5 terabytes in a couple of short years.
Yeah I just don’t have that sort of storage space
It’d be cool if you had an OLED to comare it on as well. Nice review!
If I win the lottery I will, myself, fully fund the most top dollar 4K restorations of EVERY Godzilla movie...the best that money could buy.
Criterion probably wouldn't let you. It ruins the precedent they've set so far.
Completely disagree. The Blu-Ray looks to have a lot more definition with crisper lines while the 4K looks like the brightness has been turned way up and the contrast turned down. Thanks for the review though, helpful to know what’s out there as tech evolves.
I love the Goonies but that's not really classic.....favorite classic would be...1.the hustler, 2. The sting, 3.gone with the wind, 4.wizard of oz, 5.????
I'm on board with THE HUSTLER and THE STING, definitely, but I personally think THE GOONIES is one of the canonical 80s movies representative of the entire decade so it should definitely get the 4K treatment.
@@Theomite AGREED!
I too saw the movie in IMAX 3D and it was fabulous but this weekend I saw it again at AMC in Dolby Cinema and was WOW that was slightly a better picture. The color and clarity was outstanding for a 80 year old movie. The sound was much better too from other theatre releases. I also have the movie on BluRay which is really good but this release in theaters now is very much worth the money to see and enjoy.
I will be getting this day 1! Thanks for the review. I watch your reviews and bluray.com’s reviews.
I just ordered the 4k version earlier today. Didn't realize it was getting released. Been waiting for it.
I have the 75th anniversary Blu-ray version, and was blown away when I first saw it. I thought they didn't an amazing job with the conversation. Really shows what can be achieved when done properly.
Really looking forward to seeing how much better the 4k version looks.
Would love to see original Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, Jaws and Ten Commandments in 4K
The uploads have been really fantastic recently, great review!
I want to see if it's a wonderful Life is worth it on 4k
Just saw New Lion King smokes the original. The Bond 4k movies are fabulous in Dolby vision. Regualr DTS sound is still great.
Don’t forget Sony owns Columbia Pictures which owns a very old catalog as well!
The most timeless movie ever made great video !
Bought this on your recommendation Jeff, and glad I did. The colors really pop, natural-like not cartoonishly especially the reds, like the apples or the slippers, which shimmer and positively look like they're plugged in.
do a "I Am Legend" 4k review......the only way to get the director's commentary...is on this (and the hard to find blu-ray gift set)
I can’t wait for mine to come..... is it full widescreen or is the black & white full screen & then widescreen?
Would love to see once upon a time in America in 4k
I've Done The Comparison With Forrest Gump
From DVD To BLU RAY To 4K And WOW The Difference Between the BluRay & 4K made the 4K of Forrest Gump Well Worth The Purchase .
Terminator 2 was for me a waste in 4k .
Great Review! Keep up the good work!!
Got my copy ordered along with the original Suspiria. Can't wait to see the colors on that one. :)
Great choice i bought the steelbook blu ray S is for snakesss
I have bars on the sides of the picture, which were not on the 3d version. I found the 3d also showed the Scarecrow had a checkered face.
4 years later, and I just snagged this at Walmart for 9.99. Watched it my kids, and it looked like it could have been shot yesterday. I was blown away by the paintings in the background.
What's the best format to watch it in Dolby vision or hdr?
A lot of folks hate the new cover art, I'm thinking of picking up the steelbook.
@FilmsAtHome Hey Jeff- Appreciate this review all these years later. I’m debating today….Wizard of Oz 4k OR 3D BD? Not upgrading as I don’t own it currently. Thanks again, love the videos!
What is 4k restoration as I might be buying a 4k restoration blue ray not 100 pecent what it is is it different to a 4k blue ray
Thank goodness they didnt use DNR
Have you reviewed Gremlins on 4K?
The screenshots don't show us anything of any real value. Not disagreeing with your judgements, but without a proper facility to directly capture screenshots from the 4k and actually uploading this video in 4k, there is very little for us to see.
This is real annoying. I but a 4k version of an old movie, and they DON'T put the new transfer on the blu-ray disc. That's just lazy. I don't have 4k TV yet, but was wanting to still watch the new transfer. Does anyone know if they ever put the new transfer on the digital version?
They pulled this same crap with Beetlejuice 4K.
I would maybe support fixing Dorothy’s hair changing so drastically. I noticed that at 5yrs old. And ever since. The most noticeable flaw for a hairdresser and wigmaker. Her blonde wig looked so unnatural. Around the ears. Yuck. And the bright auburn natural hair against her added curls at the ends, never saw that on tv until the DVDs. But they are off color wise. And the lions lace front wig and beard glare at me from the clear giant picture of today.
My favourite classic movie is the man who shot liberty valance. Love the channel. Mike in Manchester uk
Talk of sound, I recently got a
Restored version of War of The Worlds from 1953, Ben Burt sound designer and editor for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films and others did the sound restoration for this film I have a 2.5 speaker sound bar and the film War of The Worlds 1953 was restored to a 5.1 and my speakers only half of what was restored and it nearly blew me out of the room!
Usually I've found that if the bluray discs in with the 4K releases look the same as stand-alone blurays, then it's the same copy/transfer. Which means they haven't bothered to do another remastered copy for bluray. Which is cheap and lazy in my opinion.
True, but then you can buy the 4K edition and get the Blu-ray for a relatively good price. No separate purchasing!
Your pictures of the 4k release look bad compared to the 1080 release which has much more detail. Just like many have said did you screw up in labeling them? You have no correction in the description. What is going on with this review?
Would love to see a , streets of fire 4k remastered ,great actors , great music , great film, one of my favs
Shout! Factory has STREETS OF FIRE at the moment, so it'll be a while methinks.
Has any body checked out the expensive 4k of wizard of oz?
why does doraphys hair, guy with purple hat and pink guy head all look more in focus? just looking at you tube it looks like blue ray looks better.
We need Gone with the Wind in 4K Blu-ray, now that will be amazing!
Lawrence Of Arabia, Ben-Hur, The French Connection, The Godfather part 1 & 2, and Akira Kurosawa’s Ran definitely need 4K releases. GREAT review!!! I REALLY LOVE your channel!!!🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥
Oh man, you are so right about RAN.
Lol @ the peasants watching this in 480p on their phones saying there's no difference between the UHD and Blu Ray.
great job dude...will they redo Sound of Music?
My favorite classic movie is a toss up between It Happened on 5th Avenue and the Audie Murphy version of Destry
I pre-ordered this months ago. Looking forward to it.
The Godfather 1&2 need this sort of love.
Definitely
Hey, I have a question. I just received my Best Buy exclusive 4K, but currently I do not own a 4K Blu-ray player, only a 4K TV. I used my code to redeem on Movies Anywhere and streamed it. I was shocked to find that it was nowhere near the regular Blu-ray version. Infact, when Warner slipper back in September and updated iTunes purchased HD past purchased versions to UHD, it looked marvelous! Anyway, my question is, since I redeemed the code on Movies Anywhere and it did upgrade to 4K, since tomorrow is the “official release” will my iTunes version be automatically upgraded? I’ve heard rumors that iTunes automatically upgrade... I also have a purchased HD version on Amazon Prime. Would that upgrade too? Thank you for sharing your video!!
The 80th anniversary lenticular cover looks awesome bro. I grew up with this film ,even went to see the unofficial sequel crapfest return to oz . Great review!👊👊💯
One of my favorites is the 1970 Scrooge with Albert Finney.
great video man
I'm going to stick to the Blu-ray. It's not like I'm still watching this every year.
I would love to see GWTW and The Quiet Man in a 4K restoration.
This is totally off subject but Terminator 2 is by far the worst 4k transfer I've ever seen
i'm still holding on to my 3d version. The only reason why I should upgrade to 4k will be audio
Was hoping for Dark Side of the Rainbow special feature.
No blue ray better why saw where's the shadows its erased from all the people are they vampires now🤣no k you get f .
The high nit-count on the 4K Blu-Ray disc, overexposed your camera.
As far as I know, this isn't upscaling but scanning 35 mm film in 4K.
I wonder how people watched this movie when it first came in 1939 on 35 mm film.
Going to be completely honest, it just looks like a saturation increase and a couple of minor details thrown in digitally
The screenshots are meaningless. They aren't a direct capture and they're presented in 1080, so they don't shoow us anything.
