Watched The Godfather on DVD then the new 4K back to back and it felt like a different movie
I did this last weekend with my brother, same couch, same TV, two nights in a row. The 4K version is so dark and clean that whole scenes in the first hour look like a completely new film, the DVD had this warm fuzzy look I always thought was just how it was made. The restaurant scene especially, you can see every face in the background now, which honestly changes how tense it feels. Did the people who remaster these old movies go too far, or is this how it was always supposed to look?

There was a whole thing with the 4K release where the colorist said the DVD transfers were too warm and that the original prints were always darker and cooler. Coppola apparently signed off on it too. There's a good video about it on YouTube that shows the same scene side by side, though some people still swear the old look was on purpose.
