While this doesn't pertain to 4K, I didn't think it deserved it's own thread.....

I purchased The Godfather Trilogy a few months back and everything was fine. I had both versions of Godfather 3. Now only the first two films are shown when scrolling through my "All Movies" tab. If I do a search for it, it does show up as The Godfather Coda and is playable. I realize that it isn't the end of the world that it's gone missing from my list, but it is annoying.

I'm guessing this had to do with a consolidation of them getting rid of the "Godfather Part III" title and just keeping the "Coda" version (even though both versions played under the Godfather III listing) and something got screwed up along the way.

Is anyone else missing this film from their "All Movies" list?

Look under "M" for "Mario." I'm not kidding.

The Ten Commandments is now 4K/Dolby Vision on iTunes. My copy has upgraded.

I had already bought Donnie Darko on a previous sale, which is from Arrow, and now Arrow is releasing it in 4K next month. Does anyone know if small releases like that get upgraded? The few other 4K releases from Arrow are in 4K on iTunes.

I think it depends on whether Arrow did the 4K work or was it the home studio. If it's the former, I seriously doubt it upgrades to 4K. However, if it's the studio that owns the movie then it's possible it will upgrade to 4K.

Would the iTunes 4K streaming Cotton Club look better or worse than the Blu- ray disc uprezzed to 4K?

In most cases, the iTunes 4k streaming should always beat an up-rez'd Blu-ray.

Of course, that depends on a good Internet connection and what device you are streaming from.

10 Commandments will upgrade to 4K sometime this week.

Just checked...upgraded now. Also, same for Primal Fear.

Thanks for the 4K upgrade tip on Primal Fear.

Wow. Thanks for the tip. I never would have thought to look there.

Mackintosh and TJ, a Roy Rogers film from 1975, in 4K and Dolby Vision on iTunes, who would have expected that?

I would've since several weeks ago I added the following Amazon Link.

Yeah, but I didn't expect a label like MDV Visual would also put out a 4K digital version in addition to the Blu-ray. I wish Shout Factory, Criterion, Arrow, and Kino would do that too on titles where they have the digital rights.

The 3 Worlds of Gulliver, new to 4K, no HDR. I’m sure there are some Harryhausen fans who may be excited about that.

It look so much better than the previous HD version.

My “The Elephant Man” HD iTunes has upgraded to 4K with Dolby Vision. The same with “Born Yesterday”, but with no HDR.

"Saturday Night Fever" now in 4K on iTunes

Yeah, I watched the first 20 minutes earlier today. I wasn't impressed by the 4K/Dolby Vision as I've been with other Paramount titles. Anyhow, a $4.99 gamble in 2019, somewhat paid off.

Also, this is the theatrical cut of 119 minutes in 4K while the director's cut at 122 minutes is among the extras in HD.

I suspect we will see SNF (one of my all-time favorite films) released to 4k disc very shortly. I would rather have this film on disc.

Alas, I don't think the Director's Cut will be in 4k, but anything is possible and I hope Paramount does the right thing here.
