True Romance(1993)

7.5/10

dir. Tony Scott

A-Tier

Arrow Video A-Tier 4K. Tarantino-written and Tony Scott-directed, with an Arrow disc that does both of them justice. Hans Zimmer's 'You're So Cool' theme still hits.

Basquiat(1996)

6.6/10

dir. Julian Schnabel

A-Tier

A-Tier Criterion 4K. The color version had some issues that people noticed. Criterion's black-and-white films tend to fare better than their color transfers.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

Speed(1994)

7.1/10

dir. Jan de Bont

A-Tier

The steelbook preorder keeps selling out and restocking, with Amazon canceling some orders and Walmart becoming the backup plan. A-Tier transfer that people cite alongside Dune and Blade Runner 2049 when they're making a case for reference discs.

20th Century Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

Waterworld(1995)

6.2/10

dir. Kevin Reynolds

A-Tier

Arrow's 2019 Limited Edition is the English-language pick with the Ulysses Cut in 1080p and an A-Tier transfer. The Best Buy exclusive steelbook is a very limited run of 3 copies per store, so most people are finding it sold out on day one. Plaion's German Ulysses Cut on 4K is still the holy grail import for the full extended version in UHD.

dir. Annabel Jankel, Rocky Morton

Mario and Luigi, plumbers from Brooklyn, find themselves in an alternate universe where evolved dinosaurs live in hi-tech squalor. They're the only hope to save our universe from invasion by the dino dictator, Koopa.
