Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray (United Kingdom)
dir. Richard Donner
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.
Paramount Pictures · 35th Anniversary Edition
dir. Barry Sonnenfeld
A-Tier Paramount 4K. There was a color grading debate when this came out because Debbie's dress changed color from the Blu-ray. Turns out the 4K grade is closer to the original theatrical print and the Blu-ray was the one that was off. The explanation about DVD-era masters being the baseline that people grew up with applies to a lot of these catalog 4Ks.
