The linked report is from 2004. Were they only in an "experimenting phase" at this point of time?

So...the story goes on (sigh!) : Users tell me now, that "Wizard of Oz" (2005), ""Blade Runner", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Bonnie and Clyde", "Dirty Harry" (all 2007) or some Lowry Bonds (earlier), are all said to be 4K scans, and therefore (they claim) the "Godfathers" could not have been...

Thank You very much for Your kind reply!

@Robert Harris Dear Mr. Harris, living in Vienna/Austria I am as well a member of a German HT discussion forum. A few days ago, there started a new talk about the picture quality of the "Deliverance" BD Disc. As usually, some guys seem to mix up "transfer quality" with the stylish desicions of...

...or how about watchable "Hatari!" disc? Even a nowadays "humble" BD would make me perfectly happy!

Yes, but that was my question at the beginning. Are the DVDs really better than the BDs and especially: which ones? Only the first editions or the later ones as well? To be honest, I gave away some of them, and I am curious, if it pays off to buy them back again or to stay with the less than...

...yes, that would be nice, but how to watch the movies until then in Your opinion?

Personally I was spoiled all the time about that topic, and so it came, that I have bought the BDs, but somehow avoided to watch them (after the wacky "Snow White" experience). What would be Your suggestion Mr. Harris? Would it be the best, trying to find the old DVD sets again? And: which ones...

I am on Your (both) sides. I'm not spending my money on bootlegs as well. In the meantime I will cuddle my DVD Set and if the pressure is too hard, watch the HDTV version. Sigh!

Cough...! :-) ...or at least we are becoming blind and/or deaf...or we need a nurse to switch on the equipment. Help!

The HDTV broadcast looked not bad either, and there is an "obscure" BD available in Spain as well... https://www.amazon.es/Hija-Ryan-Blu-ray-Sarah-Miles/dp/B00VMU9328/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1471890722&sr=1-2&keywords=ryan%27s

I suspect "80 Days" and "Raintree" are the "problematic" ones - with "80 Days" worth the investment. "Ryan's Daughter" should not be a problem. But maybe, I'm terribly wrong.

...yes, and (if we still are alive), we promise to buy a "perfect follow up release", a few years later, as well!

I'm getting older and older, and hoping every month for "Around The World in 80 Days" and "Ryan's Daughter". I even did not open my DVDs until now, because I could not imagine, that we have to wait THAT long... Dear George Feltenstein, give us a sign!
