I need movies from the 20TH CENTURY on UHD, too!

[McCrutchy]

I know that UHD is a little ways off, but so far, I am extremely disappointed with the announced UHD titles so far.

All four titles from Fox are from 2012 or later. Two 2016 Fox catalog releases (Independence Day (1996) and The Omen (1976)) were mistakenly reported as UHD/BD combo releases, only to have Fox later clarify that they would be new 4K masters, presented on 1080p Blu-ray-only.

Now we have several announcements from Sony, and again, the oldest title coming out appears to be Hancock (July 2008) followed closely by Pineapple Express (August 2008).

I was really hoping Sony could have given us Lawrence of Arabia, or The Bridge on the River Kwai, or perhaps even something newer from the Mastered in 4K line of BDs, like Taxi Driver or Ghostbusters.

I am sure that these titles take longer to produce in UHD, and need to be readied for things like HDR, and so on, but so do the vast majority of the rest of the films that Sony (and probably even Life of Pi from Fox) did actually announce.

So, even though it's early, I want to say now that it would be great to see two or three, or even just one, major 4K-ready 20th Century catalog title announced for UHD, and made available with the first batch of titles.

I really want to adopt UHD BD, really and truly, no matter how "niche" it ultimately becomes, but I am a child of the 20th Century, and I need some of the great movies from that time to get me to buy the new TV and player.
