Stripes(1981)

dir. Ivan Reitman

Sony S-Tier 4K. Bill Murray joins the Army. The standalone steelbook is the first 4K release outside the Columbia Classics box set, and Sony's steelbooks in this tier tend to drop to around $21 USD within six months. If you can wait, the price will come down.

Scrooged(1988)

6.8/10

dir. Richard Donner

A-Tier

People bought the Blu-ray for $6 USD and immediately turned around to buy the 4K anyway. A-Tier holiday film that shows up on everyone's Christmas rotation list alongside Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and It's a Wonderful Life. Complaints about barebones special features are the only recurring negative. Bill Murray doing his thing is the entire selling point, and the disc delivers on that.
