70mm Films transferred to Blu-ray

When Sound of Music is released in December, it will be a day one purchase for me...should look phenomenal, especially the aerial shots at the beginning if they are properly restored.

King and I (which is 55mm) and already has a great restoration should look astounding....hopefully we will see it this year or next.

Oklahoma! is in dire need of a restoration for it's Todd-AO version which is 70mm/30fps. I'd love to see it presented a little better.

Cleopatra would also be great, but I'm sure that because of it's length, (over 4 hours if I remember right) it would take a couple of years to be restored.

The Music Man looks awesome...and I have a feeling that Disney's The Black Cauldron could yield some good results with a proper restoration, just as Sleeping Beauty did.

And I'm super excited for A Star is Born to be released in June, though it technically is just a 35mm release, it's still being restored with a super high resolution!

Would be great if Warner would put "This Is Cinerama" (in "Smilebox") on blu, I'd buy it! Sadly, it has NEVER been officially released on home video, not in even in the VHS days.

The King and I had GREAT sound in its initial release; I think it got the Oscar for sound, over Around the World in 80 days (1956), which -- in 70 mm Todd-AO -- had the best sound I've ever heard to and including the present day. Note: the 35 mm prints released after Todd's death had a truly horrible optical soundtrack.

Oklahoma! would be well worth it, but fox made so many excuses last time that I don't have much hope.

And speaking of 80 Days (1956), how I wish they would go back to the 65 mm OCN on that one! With the exception of Space Odyssey, it was the most hypnotic film in 70 mm.
