I’d like to see the black-and-white movies that were given a blue hue changed to their original black-and-white status and enhanced if possible.
Other movies that could use some spit and polish, off the top of my head, are Hercules, Gunslinger and The Painted Hills. ( I didn’t check to see if those are available for streaming, so apologies if they’re not.)
Yes, especially Lost Continent where they actually gave the movie a green hue when they got to the top of the mountain.
But I’d love to see any of the Russian and/or Russo-Finish movies they did because they’re gorgeous movies. RT did a reriff of Jack Frost which was only okay, but the print they got was absolutely amazing. I can only imagine that the others would be equally gorgeous.
I second The Painted Hills. It’s an episode I like, and the color seems okay, but it blurry/fuzzy/grainy and I think it would be great to see it more clearly.
I know this is probably not a popular choice as it doesn’t seem to be a popular episode but the print of Hamlet they have is really dark. So dark you can barely make out their costumes. I get that it sorta fits the story to be so gloomy but it really is a shame we can’t see more of it. I’d especially like to see more of Gertrude’s costume.
A new treatment of the source material could very well give that episode new life. It would give some additional motivation for settling in with that installment.
Hamlet is not a personal favorite, but I’d be willing to check that out.
The RiffTrax Magic Sword uses a better print and it’s marvelous. I wish there were a way for them to use the old Shadowrama over new/HD prints the way that YouTuber did (before it was all taken down), but it’s just not meant to be.
The Creeping Terror and Monster A Go-Go might be easier (on the eyes) with some better definition and tonal depth.
The Magic Voyage of Sinbad. Obviously intended to be a massively sumptuous feast of eye candy (just look at that Indian architecture!)
As I said elsewhere, some shorts could benefit: the print of Circus on Ice used was looking a bit frayed.
Films that were originally recorded for TV (on tape, with its lower resolution) need more help than just “finding a better print” to upscale to HD. They worked fine back in the day, since they were in the medium they were designed for, but now…
