Movies that deserve a restoration:

  • A.I. Artificial Intelligence
  • Big Trouble In Little China
  • The Fog
  • Minority Report - just doing a [spoRv] project right now
  • Mission: Impossible

Movies with few differences between the DVD and BD editions (sometimes are barely noticeable, other times limited only to some scenes):

  • The Day After Tomorrow
  • Daylight
  • E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
  • The Fifth Element
  • Gladiator
  • Godzilla
  • Hellboy
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
  • Stargate
  • Titanic
  • Waterworld

Actually a blanket teal tint has been added to the whole of the titanic blu-ray that was not on the dvd and its pretty noticable IMHO. Not sure if its worthy of a 'restoration' per say but definately of colour correction to remove the teal tint which I have already done. Those that want to see what I mean can go to tehparadox and search for 'kk650 titanic', I put up screencap comparisons clearly showing the teal tint across the whole film. You can also see the difference between the blu-ray and dvd on the capaholic website here: http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/multi_comparison.php?disc1=1493&disc2=1492&cap1=14061&cap2=14045&art=full&image=1&hd_multiID=114&action=1&lossless=#vergleich .

The Gladiator dvd looks totally different to the remastered blu-ray as well, so much so that I actually went ahead and recreated the dvd look of gladiator in HD by using a high quality open matte hdtv release and reframing it shot by shot to match the dvd framing as closely as possible. Never got round to releasing it though, wasn't sure whether people would be interested.
