I have a special 4K disc player as well as an HD blu-ray player. But, I am not impressed with the so called "better" discs. If I buy a movie, it will be a regular DVD disc. I am also not impressed with 4K programing on television.

There are two movies I saw a long time ago. It would be early seventies (I Think). One was of a man being hunted in the desert by a crazed individual with a rifle. The second was of people stuck on an island and hunted by nazi zombies who died in a submarine during the war. Any help identifying these would be appreciated. There was a third movie filmed in 1972 that I was attempting to find the name of but I found the title> Gargoyles. It was not as frightening as I remembered it. I'm guessing the two above may be the same.

Just curious, but if you buy a Blu-Ray disc for a movie that was made 50 years ago, will the picture resolution and sound be any better than a regular DVD disc?

It is pretty good for picture resolution and sound. The back cover says "Digitally Remastered and Fully Restored from High Resolution 35mm Original Film Elements".

Thanks. I think that all movies that were filmed with a 35mm camera need to be digitally remastered before they can be shown on a TV streaming service or copied to a DVD disc. But, I understand that even old movies on film have a very high resolution. But, I wonder if it is worth the cost to create a new HD master copy just for selling blu-ray discs (versus regular DVD), which very few people will buy.

Secretary used an app called "What's my movie". The two I have been looking for are Savages 1974 with Andy Griffith (I did not recall that) and Shock Waves 1977.
