Most wanted "EPIC" movies on 4K - Blu-ray Forum

Bolty · 08-21-2021, 11:22 AM

Seems to me that epic movies wood benefit the most and be some of the most wanted films in UHD 4K. They would benefit because many of them were shot on premium formats. And Most Wanted because who doesn't like epic movies?
We have gotten several such as Spartacus, Bridge on the River Kwai, Gandhi, Ten Commandments, Etc. -- but there are dozens more out there waiting. So what are some of your most hoped for epic movies?

The first Cleopatra is 1934 and the second one is Elizabeth Taylor. LOL. I knew there was too many choices in the first place. Pretty sure you can't edit the poll choices can you?

FYI, you have Cleopatra twice.

Mine are:

All Kurosawa
Das Boot (especially if the miniseries version is included, like the recent German Blu-Ray)
The Right Stuff
Once Upon a Time in the West
There Will Be Blood
Papillon
Master and Commander

"James Clavell's Shōgun, a sweeping 17th century epic originally broadcast in five parts"

The Japanese countryside would look great in 4K.
