If you think a movie should receive a [spoRv] treatment, post your ideas here, using BOLD for each movie title, and explain why and how it should be preserved or restored; as you can see, I much prefer sci-fi and horror movies, but I like action too!

 Hello again here.

Well, I assume it's not your kind of thing but one movie i would suggest is RAINTREE COUNTY (1957) starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

Here's a thread I had started about this:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Raintree-County-1957/topic/16310/

why?

Because this is a very important movie, the first that was shot in UltraPanavision 70.

It's very impressive with wonderful scenery and a masterful music score.

It's considered the widescreen "Gone With the Wind".

There isn't any official DVD release of it, and Warner seems not interested in releasing this in Bluray anytime soon.

For 2-3 years it has been voted the most anticipated Blu-ray in Home Theater forum.

how?

Well, there is a Laserdisc version that I know of, although i don't know its quality.

Also it has been broadcasted on TCM, and it will be broadcasted again in end of June and beginning of July.

I also have heard that it was broadcasted in HDnet Broadcast and it looked very good! But I've been unable to find any rip of this broadcast.
