If you expect 4K discs then you should be worried. However, if you stream then you might get rewarded with some of those titles on Disney+

West Side Story-- Spartacus-- Abyss-- Conan -- Treks I, II & VI -- Aliens -- Titanic -- Terminator

Boy that's not enough

Oklahoma! The King and I, Flower Drum Song, The Sound of Music, The Music Man, West Side Story, Gypsy, Star!, (and from the non-widescreen era) The Pirate, Singin' in the Rain.

Yep, all musicals.

James Bond Collection (1962-2002)



OK, thats more than 10 but I’m grouping my Star Trek & James Bond sets as one each. I did not include any of my Star Wars or BTTF favs because they are already on their way to UHD Blu-ray.

The Last Valley, The Big Fisherman, Barabbas, Cheyenne Autumn, Lord Jim, El Cid, Fall Of The Roman Empire, Tempest, The Story Of Ruth.

EDIT: OliverK's post no 10 has reminded me of Raintree County and Richard V's post no 11 has reminded me of The Alamo. I shouldn't have needed reminding. I must be getting old

Slightly Scarlet
High Society
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
North by Northwest
White Christmas
Gunfight at the OK Corral
The Professionals
The Narrow Margin
Three Little Words
In Harm's Way

Hello Santa. I've been a good boy this year, not through choice, I just don't have the energy to be anything else these days. To be honest I don't have the 4K kit yet, but here's ten already released films that could really do with a redo from the original negatives, which I understand they'd have to do for proper 4K release:

Bend Of The River (1952)
The Searchers (1956)
Rio Bravo (1959)
The Longest Day (1962)
Mutiny On The Bounty (1962)
The Fall Of The Roman Empire (1964)
The Wild Bunch (1969)
Where Eagles Dare (1969)
The Three Musketeers (1973)
The Four Musketeers (1974)

Thank you.

These 10 would need some and often even a lot of work but they would look spectacular:

The Fall of the Roman Empire
El Cid
The Greatest Story Ever Told
Cleopatra
The Agony and the Ecstasy

Raintree County
Around the World in 80 Days
The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm
Barabbas
Zulu

There are many others but I am keeping it to these 10 as per the thread title, thank you Santa!



Honorable mention to these classics that do NOT need that much work so I do not have to ask Santa to place them under my tree. The studios should be perfectly capable of giving them to us without too much of an effort, it is just a matter of going:

Lawrence of Arabia
Ben-Hur
Spartacus
My Fair Lady
Patton

Hello, Dolly!
The Sound of Music
Oklahoma!
North By Northwest

To Catch a Thief
Dr. Dolittle
How the West Was Won
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World
West Side Story

Kelly's Heroes,
The Dirty Dozen,
The Godfather,
The Shootist,
55 Days at Peking,

Land of the Pharaohs

Sign me up for:
Spartacus
Fall of the Roman Empire
El Cid
The Big Fisherman
Land of the Pharaohs
The Story of Ruth
Raintree County
The Silver Chalice
The Egyptian
Barabbas
Would have listed Ben-Hur but it's the one that will make 4K.

Ben Hur
The Ten Commandments
Spartacus
Cleopatra
The Big Country
King Of Kings
Aliens
A Matter Of Life And Death
The King And I
Around the World in 80 Days

Can I bargain with Santa and just ask for all the MGM Tex Avery cartoons in one glorious boxed set?

NO?

If not:

TOP HAT
THE GANGS ALL HERE (done correctly)
FANTASIA
MY FAIR LADY
SINGIN IN THE RAIN
THE BAND WAGON
REAR WINDOW

I'm going to interpret the question as which ten films would I like to see mastered in 4K and then released onto standard blu-ray. Anyway, in no particular order and pretty much off of the top of my head:
1. Margie (1946)
2. Captain Blood (1935)
3. Gentleman Jim (1942)
4. The Happiest Millionaire (1967)
5. Beau James (1957)
6. The Seven Little Foys (1955)
7. The Wedding March (1928)
8. The Laurel and Hardy silents
9. The rest of the Thin Man series
10. The Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again

Yes, I know that I'm cheating a little on the last three entries.

Some common titles....
Spartacus
Ben-Hur 1959
Lawrence of Arabia
My Fair Lady
The Sand Pebbles...restored original release. Disney..wishful thinking
The Greatest Story Ever Told. Original release 221 minutes
El Cid
Ken Russell's The Music Lovers. Original Roadshow release
Cleopatra. 1963
West Side Story 1961
And an 11th request since most of these though deserving will not get a release...The Sound of Music.

The Tales of Hoffmann
Vertigo
Poltergeist
Speed Racer
The Conversation
Beetlejuice
Blood and Black Lace
The Age of Innocence
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Magnolia

Like many others here El Cid & Fall of the Roman Empire and Kurosawa's Dersu Uzala.

Charlie Chan Carries On
Charlie Chan's Chance
Charlie Chan's Greatest Case
Charlie Chan's Courage
Charlie Chan in London
Charlie Chan in Paris
Charlie Chan in Egypt
The Court Jester
Roman Holiday
The Lady Eve

No HDR please.
