The only 4k movie I would pay $50 for on day one would be the 1961 West Side Story, but it would need to have the correct colors during the overture and have the original six-track sound mix that was restored in 2010.

I used to work with a lady named Dwan. And yes, she said her mother named her after the Jessica Lange character.
