This reads more like a list of fan edits than actual preservation projects. By all means lay out your personal visions for these films, but this is hardly the sort of thing that Arrow/Shout would involve themselves in.

Yeah they should do though. I think really the best thing about home media is you can relax time constraints a bit… Less pressure but also all the interesting extra features which these guys do do.

Second Sight was it? Did a good job on “from beyonf” if I remember correctly. Quite a bit of restoration (new version) Essentially although having great picture and sound is a strong desire for obvious reasons but there are still many films that deserve a re-edit and restoration of material. I don’t think restoring everything to a film makes it better either. You often need to subtract also.

Not so much a personal vision just laying out here what I see within the material of titles or scripts. If i can put the idea out there for a restoration rather simply talk about picture or sound quality as those things are kind of a given these days. I would happily take a DVD of any alternate cut not bothered if it is 4K or 8k. I am far more interested in alternate cut’s / censorship and seeing things fleshed out and restored. It is far more interesting although picture and audio obviously matter a lot across the entire experience.
