I am speechless. Frankenheimer's classic never looked so good. If you want to see an example of how an older film suddenly looks brand new, this is the title. Amazing. The colors pop out and the sound is amazing.

Cosmic Bus

Agreed! This and Mutiny On the Bounty are two of the best examples of classics being truly "reborn" in HD.

Dont forget 'Forbidden Planet'

Check out The Searchers. And prepare to scrape your jaw off the floor.

all of WB's 65mm films - Grand Prix, Mutiny, 2001 have been impecibly transferred to stunning effect.

now where's 'Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet' culled from 65mm elements - huh, huh, huh??? or even 'Ryan's Daughter' 'My Fair Lady' 'Ice Station Zebra'

and how about:

'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'
'Exodus'
'West Side Story' (this also looked stunning on HDNet Movies)

will these MGM films be released through Warner Bros. or Sony?

The hope for high quality pre 1970 classics is why I bought into HD video and though the selections are limited I have been very impressed by the films that have made it. All of the ultra resolution films like The Searchers, Grand Prix, Mutiny on the Bounty and 2001 have been breath taking, but I am just as impressed with Adventures of Robin Hood and Casablanca.

Probably MGM/Fox

oh that's right... I can never remember how the MGM library is getting divided.

All MGM movies pre 1986 is owned by Warner. But the ones you listed, may be United Artists movies, and those are still held by MGM.
