Blazing Saddles(1974)

7.2/10

dir. Mel Brooks

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Mel Brooks in HDR. The Warner Bros. catalog comedies on 4K have been quietly good across the board.

Paper Moon(1973)

7.9/10

dir. Peter Bogdanovich

S-Tier

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Bogdanovich's black and white father-daughter con artist film. There was no US Blu-ray of this for years, so people were importing the Eureka disc. The Criterion 4K announcement was a big deal, and Walmart had it under $20 USD. People who love this film also tend to love The Last Picture Show.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot(1974)

6.8/10

dir. Michael Cimino

A-Tier

Capelight A-Tier 4K. Eastwood and Bridges in a Cimino road movie that got lost in the shuffle of 70s Americana. The Montana location photography is the visual draw, and the film is a hidden gem for anyone who likes the era.
