I think a lot of the 35mm preservations here tend to over-correct the grain thing, though. I don’t necessarily want a blu-ray to recreate the experience of watching a print in a theater; I think home video ought to be mastered for, y’know, the home, and on home systems excessive grain tends to look like noise. The more recent of the Goodfellas transfers strikes a good balance, I think. It’s got enough grain to be able to tell instantly that it was sourced from film without hitting you over the head with it.

I just got the Warner Archive Superman The Movie: Extended TV Cut and it has a better color timing than the original blu-ray release. They found an interpositive in the archive and were able to do a remaster. Now all they need to do is find and release the original 2 hour cut of Superman IV.
