Anthony Hopkins movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Steven Zaillian
S-Tier Sony 4K. Part of the Columbia Classics Collection Volume 5, same box set situation as A Man for All Seasons. The 1949 original, not the 2006 remake.

S-Tier Universal 4K. Hopkins as Lecter in Florence. Universal's catalog 4K.

S-Tier Cohen Media Group 4K. Merchant Ivory's best-known film with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Cohen's transfer looks good, and people have been asking for more Merchant Ivory in the Criterion Collection.

dir. David Lynch
StudioCanal S-Tier 4K. The Lynch/Hopkins black-and-white body horror character study got the StudioCanal restoration treatment, and it's one of the few Lynch films not on Criterion in 4K. Black-and-white grain structure is the main draw.

StudioCanal S-Tier 4K. O'Toole and Hepburn chewing scenery in medieval England. The announcement caught people off guard because nobody expected this one to get the 4K treatment, and the transfer delivered.
A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.
dir. Jonathan Demme
Arrow Video S-Tier 4K. The Arrow UK release is the definitive edition and the French steelbook went up for preorder around the same time. Hopkins' Lecter scenes get even more unsettling with the higher resolution.

A-Tier Sony 4K. Coppola's Dracula with Gary Oldman. The Gothic production design and practical effects gain detail in 4K.

dir. Martin Campbell
Sony A-Tier 4K. The steelbook is the version most people grabbed. Late-90s action cinematography that cleaned up nicely in the transfer, with Banderas in his prime and one of Catherine Zeta-Jones' first major roles.
dir. Joe Johnston
Scream Factory A-Tier 4K. Preorders had fulfillment issues through Walmart and Amazon but the disc itself delivers. Del Toro in werewolf makeup plus Benicio del Toro playing him is confusing in a good way.

dir. Brett Ratner
Most of the discussion around Red Dragon circles back to Manhunter instead. Collectors keep asking when Mann's version will get a proper 4K, and Red Dragon threads reliably turn into Manhunter appreciation posts. The Kino disc is competent but the C-Tier rating reflects Brett Ratner's direction more than the transfer itself.
