We love these movies for testing theaters systems, but unfortunately they're just not as good as they could be!

With the rise of 4K and Dolby Atmos, movie lovers have been treated to stunning visual and audio experiences that bring films to life like never before. But while many classics have received the 4K Atmos treatment, there are still some fan-favorite films that deserve the upgrade. Here are five movies that we believe would truly shine with a 4K Atmos remaster.

1. Tron: Legacy (2010) Tron: Legacy is a visual and auditory masterpiece that has been begging for a 4K Atmos remaster. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, this sequel to the 1982 cult classic takes viewers on a journey through a digital world filled with neon lights, high-octane action, and a pulsating soundtrack by Daft Punk. A 4K upgrade would amplify the film's already stunning visuals, while Dolby Atmos could turn the electrifying score and sound effects into a truly immersive experience, making you feel like you're inside "The Grid" itself.

2. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) Peter Weir’s Master and Commander is a cinematic marvel that captures the intensity and realism of life at sea during the Napoleonic Wars. The film’s sound design, which won an Academy Award, is already top-notch, but imagine the creaking of the ship, the roar of cannon fire, and the crash of waves enveloping you from all directions in Dolby Atmos. Combined with the rich detail of a 4K transfer, Master and Commander would become an even more immersive historical epic.

This one is still worth checking out for the sound effects in 1080p, its still that good!

3. The Last Samurai (2003) Edward Zwick's The Last Samurai is a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film that explores the clash of cultures and the end of the samurai era in Japan. With its breathtaking cinematography and a moving score by Hans Zimmer, the film deserves to be experienced in the highest quality possible. A 4K remaster would bring out the vibrant colors of the Japanese landscape and the intricate details of the samurai armor, while Dolby Atmos would enhance the epic battle sequences, making every clash of swords and drumbeat resonate with greater intensity.

4. The Dark Knight (2008) Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight redefined the superhero genre with its dark tone, complex characters, and intense action sequences. While the film's IMAX scenes already offer incredible visual fidelity, a 4K remaster would enhance the film's gritty Gotham City setting, bringing out every shadow and detail. Adding Dolby Atmos would elevate the soundscape, from Hans Zimmer's iconic score to the thrilling chase scenes, making Batman's battle against the Joker even more epic.

5. Jurassic Park (1993) Although Jurassic Park has received a 4K release, it hasn't yet been upgraded with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Steven Spielberg’s classic is a film that defined a generation, with groundbreaking visual effects and an iconic sound design that still holds up today. A full Atmos remaster would make the dinosaurs feel even more lifelike, with the T. rex’s roar shaking the room and the raptors’ unsettling clicks creeping from all around. Coupled with the clarity of 4K, this would be the definitive way to experience the magic and terror of Jurassic Park.
