Silverado(1985)

6.9/10

dir. Lawrence Kasdan

S-Tier

Sony's S-Tier 4K steelbook generated instant pre-orders. Collectors describe it as a cocaine-fueled western, which is both a compliment and an accurate description of the energy. Kevin Costner's breakout role before Dances with Wolves. The original poster art on the steelbook was a smart choice. Great year for westerns on 4K overall.

Lethal Weapon(1987)

7.3/10

dir. Richard Donner

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. WB is doing the first Lethal Weapon solo in 4K, and everyone is waiting for the inevitable quadrilogy box set before buying in. The original Blu-ray was rough, so this remaster with Atmos is a real upgrade. The steelbook is $29.99 USD on GRUV, and the standard edition art actually looks better than the steel.

The Color Purple(1985)

7.7/10

dir. Steven Spielberg

A-Tier

An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie, an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing 'Mister' Albert Johnson, things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa.

Witness(1985)

7.1/10

dir. Peter Weir

A-Tier

Arrow's 4K of Witness gave Peter Weir's Amish country thriller the A-Tier treatment it needed. Harrison Ford completists already have it, but it also works as an entry point for anyone curious about Weir before Truman Show territory.
