S-Tier Capelight Pictures 4K. Alan Parker's civil rights thriller with Gene Hackman. Capelight's German mediabook release is the only 4K option, which means importing. The picture quality is reported as great. A Criterion release would make sense for this film, given how many directors people keep requesting for the collection.

C-Tier Criterion Collection 4K. The Coens' debut. If you're looking for gritty crime on 4K, this fits the bill. The C-Tier is likely a source material limitation from the low-budget 16mm blow-up.
