I'm going to see the new Raiders 4K restoration this weekend at my local arthouse, but it's being advertised as a new 35mm print. I had been curious as to what sound mix would be present with the restoration should I ever get to see it, but was under the impression that this was shown in digital screenings only.

I'm actually hoping that the repertory dept. just shipped an original 35mm print with Dolby Stereo. I quite liked the DVD's mix, but wished that the Stereo surround had been included somehow. And the LD mix is some kind of home video version like the '85 Star Wars mix, correct?

Speaking of Dolby Stereo, Batman sounds like crud on DVD/Blu-ray. Very confined and almost tinny in places. The LD features the original Dolby Stereo with really exceptional split surrounds, that in my rig (5.1 setup playing ProLogic) almost sounds like 5.1 in places. I really enjoy the film more this way, and have made excuses to watch my LD many times in the past few months.
