Only Raiders of the Lost Ark, I believe.

The press release is intentionally ambiguously worded, but it seems to say only Raiders got the extra TLC:

Lowry apparently did 9 Bond films in total at 4K:

I can find confirmation of 7:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/18/mo...ted=all&src=pm
http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s2731lowr.html

Dr No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever
Moonraker (due to all the optical effects)

I believe the others are:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live and Let Die

WB "Singing in the Rain" was a 4k scan.

20th Fox also did a 8K scan of "The Sound of Music"

I have to find it, but from what I read, all the films were 4K transfers.

yes, from Home Theater Forum:

Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures Blu-ray Review

"The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade required less attention than the original film, but the scanning of the original negatives at 4k has benefited the first two sequels. Blacks are more precise, flesh tones natural, jungles healthily green, and the level of detail finer than it has ever appeared at home. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull uses the same master as the 2008 release which was superb at the time and remains so today. Some of the C.G.I in this film I find a little shaky, but that aside, the fourth adventure looks terrific still in HD."

Would you be able to tell the difference in picture quality with these new 4K transfers if you only have a 1080P HDTV?
