I’d love a link to the download as well via PM if at all possible! My fiancé hasn’t seen any of the classics and we’re starting with Raiders, would love to watch an original version of it with her!

I’d like a link to this as well. It’s a shame most of these scans are so closely guarded, it almost defeats the purpose of preserving them to begin with.

Hi, I’d love a link too if possible.

When I first saw the 2012 Blu ray, I thought to myself, “Finally, this movie looks like I remember!” It’s warm and friendly looking again. Just my 2 cents, but the (2012) blu ray version looks closest to what I remember seeing in theaters. Now I’ll grant you, the cave shots may be a bit brighter, and some scenes look blurry (the spiders on their backs), so maybe not perfect, but good.

I have seen a 35mm print at a local theater and I partially agree. Very yellow-leaning, but not necessarily warm. RotLA 35mm LPP looks nearly exactly like the print I saw color-wise. However, I feel like the Blu-ray very much leans too red/warm at a lot of points. The print I saw was closer to the 4K during specific dark scenes like when Belloq drinks wine with Marion. You can see that reflected in LPP as well. I lean closer to the 4K for that reason, although the Blu-ray has a lot of merits. To me, natural looking colors technically look closer to the 35mm print I saw than the warmer colors on the Blu-ray.

Can someone please help me out with a working link? I’ve been stuck at 99% on a torrent for too long now. I did want to say thank you for all the hard work put into this work of art. Truly amazing!

Edit: Nvm, found it.

Hello, great work there! there is no better way to see this print than a full resolution projection, I cannot wait to try this out, if I could have a link to this I would appreciate that.

Keep up the great work.

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan and would love to be able to view this and share it with my family. Almost like an early Christmas present. I don’t have Spleen and have no idea how this works. Looks great by the pictures.

Thank You,
Ty

What scanner did you use to scan this in 4K? What DPI is used?

The recent 4K print that showed up very recently is fantastic. A large improvement over the older LPP scan.

I can’t argue if the bluray is more yellow or red tinted than what I saw, and I’m sure visual memory is as bad as acoustic memory (like 3 seconds), but I do remember being struck with that impression of it being very yellow or warm tinted, and that was before I got into good stereos and calibrated video (I even have my own colorimeter to calibrate grayscale on my monitors and projector, now). I saw it in a large 1,000+ seat theater in 70mm, so maybe the 70mm prints were different? It also seems to me that I remember an interview with Spielberg where he said he was unhappy with the colors and passed the film prints through a yellow or warming filter to make the film feel more “alive” or vibrant, but I can’t find any reference to that interview. Maybe he just did that to some 70mm prints for the big theater openings? Anyway, like I said, I was just throwing out my recollections of the film, but that was 40 years ago. Perhaps my memory has exaggerated what I remember. That and the old man’s memory could be a bit flaky, just like the old man. 😉

Thanks for sharing.

From what I remember as a kid, and more recently from watching a print in London a few years ago, this recent scan is really close to both of those cinema visits.

Colour grading in the 4K Disney Blu is all wrong, but then again, the lowfade print is completely off, too. But, accurate -ish for the niche type of print it was at the time. As for the standard, more accurate prints sent around the world at the time (like this UK one), this here is by far the closest we have got to the original negative.




Note the bar scene that no longer looks like it was shot in -40c Alaska. And the lack of harsh cropping. Far more information visible now.

Could anyone send me a link to this if there’s one available? I had this but lost it in a recent hard drive crash and would love to get it again. Thanks!

Hi! Raiders is my favorite film and I’ve always dreamt of seeing the whole thing in a form of 35mm, so if anyone capable gets this, I’d really love a link. Thanks!

Is there a version that reduces the excessive grain/spots? I like the 4K disc quality except for the tint.
