Probably not everything, but a good starting point... https://www.cheapcharts.info/us/itunes/movies/all-movies

Chinatown already has a new master and is for sale and rental in 4K on digital, so it will probably receive a new disc release at some point.

Not saying it doesn't deserve a release, just that it's a tough sell. Kingsley, and especially Conrad Hall aren't exactly names that "move product." The only way something like this gets released is because someone with pull loves it - either within Paramount itself, or a third party distributor...

Hopefully, it's the latter, especially when it comes to something like Searching for Bobby Fischer, which is the kind of film least likely to get a blu-ray release. It's not recent, there are no big names in front of or behind the camera, it's not a cult or genre title.

Well, Top Gun, War of the Worlds, Days of Thunder and Fatal Attraction have all been upgraded to 4K digital. For some reason, Flashdance and To Catch a Thief haven't - at least not yet.

I think it's more likely that Paramount doesn't believe these titles would be profitable in 4K, though I would think Flashdance would sell more copies than Days of Thunder. But maybe their sales data says otherwise.

Those are all pretty big sellers, with the exception of Deer Hunter, which has been licenced out by the studio. It will be interesting to see how the smaller labels do with UHD. I seem to remember reading something about Kino being disappointed with the sales of their 4K Hannibal disc.

Ragtime might see a release - it's available in Europe.

But the thing is, would 4K discs of older movies actually make any money? We know that blu-ray catalogue titles typically only sell a few thousand copies, so 4K discs would probably only sell a fraction of that. I'm not sure if there's any profit to be made by releasing anything but the most...

I'm not sure about Trek. If they were planning on going that route, I think we'd already have seen a 4K disc of Wrath of Khan.

I'd love to see this one, as well. I have the DVD, but the quality hasn't held up very well.

4K discs use more than triple the bitrate of 4K streaming.

They definitely won't be releasing Carnal Knowledge, as that's with MGM.

Given that catalogue titles on blu-ray sell in the low-thousands, 4K discs probably sell in the low-hundreds.

The upcoming Australian disc is reportedly confirmed as region-free, so no need to wait.

This is my best guess as to what Paramount is likely to release. All of these have existing 4K masters: Trading Places Coming to America The Italian Job (1969) Escape From Alcatraz The Court Jester Romeo and Juliet Roman Holiday Chinatown A Place in the Sun War of the Worlds (1953)

At least the Universal stuff is being licensed out.

Not sure if it's still there, but it was on the Criterion Channel recently.

It's only nine years until the 50th anniversary.
