Default Blu-ray movies that you wish got a better transfer

I have 2 of my favorite movies that the PQ is less say bellow average and I wish they will give them a new treatment to improve,
I'll update as I find other ones:

1- Witness. I love Peter Weir movies and this is my second favorite after Picnic at Hanging Rock, the PQ really leaves a lot to desire, the soundtrack by Maurice Jarre is wonderfull.

2- The Name of the Rose: another jem for me, also a really lacking bluray presentation PQ wise.

What about you guys? any favorite movies you own that you wish had new transfers?

Maybe I need to take another look at The Name of the Rose? I recall it being pretty solid and a big upgrade from dvd format.

The Red House, The Stranger, El Cid, The Fall of the Roman Empire, and Demetrius and the Gladiators. All need Better Transfers, Remastered, Restored, 4K, Bluray versions. All personal favorites of mine.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone like Kino Lorber has In The Heat of the Night planned in the future. I heard that has a new 4k master.

Back to the Future 1 & 2
Big Lebowski
Gremlins
Tremors
The Untouchables

All of these are big titles and should look better than they do. Most are serviceable, but some are worse than others. The DNR on the early Universal discs is especially bad too.

Cat People (1982) - the extreme DNR is such an eyesore

The Perfume of the Lady in Black - the scanner noise kills what could've been a great looking 2K scan.

Scream - looks like DVD. Surprised Shout or Arrow hasn't gotten on this yet.

Heathers - dated master, and has distracting telecine wobble.

The one exception. Although, I'm hoping for a 4k uhd version.

Demetrius and the Gladiators come to mind.

They did such a fantastic job on The Robe. It's beautiful. Then hardly anything with Demetrius and the Gladiators. It looks terrible. I bought it day one and as soon as I started it, I was "WTF".

I doubt it will ever get a proper restoration.
