Particularly this bit of info:

-- Best Cinematography: EFILM used its EWORKS proprietary color grading
system, which includes Autodesk Lustre and Autodesk Incinerator, for
the digital color grades of No Country for Old Men and fellow nominee,
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Digital
intermediates for both films were realized at 4K resolution.

Hopefully this will convince you

You’ve touched a soft spot in my heart because the locale, people, culture of Tahiti and sailing adventure in ‘Bounty’ to get to their destination, holds a special personal significance to me.

As DarknessBDJM said it was mastered at 6k (after 2k scans of each of the three frames that made up the actual movie frame).

I'm actually looking forward to see the Spider-Man remaster in May. I wonder how good the difference can be.

The movie was filmed in 65MM (anamorphic) Ultra Panavision so 4K wouldn't do it justice. At least 8K is required for archival purposes.

^ Which is why I stopped the bolding at the word “rescanned” in one of the posts above . L'armée des ombres intention was good though, i.e. this classic motion picture deserves a redo for home theater fans.

Nope, can’t help you out there with Ice Station Zebra but ‘the cold war’ depicted in that fun-to-watch film does remind me of an altogether different U.S. vs. Russia cold war type themed film to add to your growing list…Salt.

And since your handle is French, I’ll contribute one to your list, which probably otherwise wouldn’t have been recognized as such but, it’s always good to remember our independent filmmakers, title be Sport de Filles

I should have been clearer on that.
I knew that MotB was a Ultra Panavison project so at least 6K preferably 8K.

There is no source for it. Even the promotional content for the BD set only referenced Raiders.

It's quite interesting how difficult it is to find a source for several movies which were always deemed to have 4K transfers.

I've seen only one mention that the films were 4K transfers from Home Theater magazine.
