Yep. That's why I'm always excited when an older movie gets a 4K release. It's like time traveling to the release year and getting to watch a pristine copy of the film reel.
While digital movies certainly look good on 4K, they can feel sterile. Getting to see a properly restored film print is everything I love about the format.
