I have a Sony VPL-VW360ES which is ISF-Calibrated for Blu-Ray 2D/3D and adapted gamma for perfect 4K HDR.
4K UltraHD HDR10 films look absolutely amazing.
Just saw Blade Runner Final Cut on Blu-Ray with this projector and I liked it so much, that I bought the new 4K UltraHD Blu-Ray which is a perfect 4K scan from the 35mm film.
It is really stunning. On my 100% structure free 122" Cinemascope screen, this film is clean and clear, bright with very deep blacks and stunning bright specular highlights. You don't believe you eyes.
Still I really like my Super8 film hobby a lot which my family don't understand and thinks I wasting money.
I do have bought almost all of my old mocvies back.
To me it is like buying my past back and relive it again.
Also I like the cut downs, because you always find time to just watch a short film or two.
Now I'm thinking of buying a scope lens and some full feature films, but,...
Will I regrat the big spending on that?
4K UltraHD Blu-Ray's already are expensive and I can buy a lot of those for the money.
I never had Scope, nor my father, so it is not noostalgic, but it gives a lot of the analogic cinematic experience I think.
I honestly not sure if this is my thing, do you?

We talk about this a lot here.
To me is it that you're a movie fan or a film fan? You can be either or both (-but what waste to be neither.). If you're just a movie fan then you are in love with the results and you don't need all this complication. Once or twice I've caught myself being purely a film fan, in love with the process: showing films all by myself, I caught myself paying so much attention to the machines I realized nobody was looking at the screen! In the extreme all I'd need is a couple of hundred feet of leader and a blown lamp!
-but I try to be both and get the most out of it, whether enjoying the film projectors or even just firing up the video projector and watching a disk.
As far as what other people think: I'd be a little suspicious of any hobby that makes sense to everybody. What would that be: folding laundry, cleaning gutters, cutting the lawn? (This was Forrest Gump's hobby, actually...)
Day to day life can be pretty routine: why not have the chance to do something that seems just a little bit outrageous to somebody (without running afoul of the law, of course...), even if that somebody is you!
I faced the "why do you do that" question a few months ago. The answer is easy: because I like it!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
