dir. Mike Nichols

Indicator · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Miloš Forman
S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 50th anniversary steelbook is coming in November 2025. WB was already considering this alongside Gravity, Dirty Harry, and The Searchers. The steelbook artwork was criticized for being incongruent with the film.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Stanley Kubrick
The 4K transfer delivers what HDR was supposed to do for horror. Room 237 has this sickly green cast that was always in the film but only became visible at this resolution, and the hotel hallway tracking shots have depth the old Blu-ray flattened.
dir. Roman Polanski
A-Tier Paramount 4K. The limited edition announcement felt like an April Fools joke to some people because it had been rumored for so long. Polanski's 70s noir with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. A proper 4K was overdue.
Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Dennis Hopper
A-Tier Sony 4K. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper on motorcycles. The counterculture photography looks good from the scan.
Aurora, a finicky woman, is in search of true love while her daughter faces marital issues. Together, they help each other deal with problems and find reasons to live a joyful life.
dir. Martin Scorsese

While an undercover cop curries favor with the mob kingpin, a career criminal rises through the police ranks. But both sides soon discover there's a mole among them.
dir. Tim Burton
Burton's Gotham still looks better than most modern comic book films, and the HDR gives the production design room to breathe. B-Tier transfer that people wish were higher.
dir. Hal Ashby
Two Navy men are ordered to bring a young offender to prison, but decide to show him one last good time along the way.
Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Bob Rafelson

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray Special Edition
Zavvi UK collector's edition with steelbook, rigid slipcase, posters, and art cards. US availability is the open question. The consensus landed immediately on buy first and ask questions later.
Warner Bros. · 4K Ultra HD
