Do old movies look better in 4K?

Depends on the film. If it’s a low budget production then most likely that it’s shot in low quality film stock and won’t look that great in 4K. Some older films like Lawrence of Arabia and 2001: A Space Odyssey were big budget production and shot in high quality 65mm cameras and they’ll look great in 4K.
