I've hated that awful timing since they mussed up the film for the 2004 release. And upon much further inspection while the 1999 DVD, Laserdisc and letterboxed VHS (same master is shared with some format differentiations.) aren't perfect they are a far better representation of the original theatrical run than the awful thing they did to it.
I've owned the BD set for a few years and occasionally spin the sequels for curiosity's sake but always wind up going back to the '99 DVD for the original.

A proper 4K scan could be stunning though admittedly it might make some of the effects look a bit dated which is to be expected. The best I've ever seen the film was a few years ago at the local arthouse where it turned out WB had sent a dye transfer Technicolor print which was news to me that the short lived revival included Matrix prints.

I'd love to see the theatrical audio presented untouched as well since it's a fun ride but WB may only do an Atmos upmix sadly.
