I'm most certainly against the digital removing of elements from older films like wires, matte lines, even those ugly boxes around the ships in so many Star Wars shots. I'm a firm believer that film makers should be proud that they did the best they could under the constraints and circumstances of the time, and use the new tools and experience gained over time to improve future projects, rather than to try rewriting the past.

But since they can pull you out of the moment and all that, I'd encourage some responsible tinkering with contrast and color balance to minimize the appearance of these things without actually removing them.
