Are there any movies that actually look better on VHS/DVD than on HD/Blu-Ray?

Are you asking for recommendations?

Not necessarily recommendations, but it would be interesting to track down some movies that actually look better in older formats.

A couple people would probably argue that the original Star Wars trilogy looked better in the original theatrical 35mm film prints.

Yes, when Han shot first like the outlaw he was and minus all of that corny music crammed in...Lucas really wet the bed on those updates:/

The Matrix and Lord of the Rings had a horrible puke-green tint on blu ray.

The Wizard of Oz. Most of the backgrounds are painted backdrops. Of course, we already knew that, but it becomes all the more glaringly obvious in HD.
