5 Jackie Cooper films on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality.
dir. Richard Donner
A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The steelbook sold fast in stores and most people had to go through Gruv. The 4K grain structure looks really natural on the flying sequences.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray (2025 Re-release)
dir. Richard Lester
The Donner Cut only exists on the 5-Film Collection, no standalone. The 2025 Reissue fixes the Atmos pitch drift on II and the squished geometry on the Donner Cut's final smile shot. Both were why the 2023 pressing was a pass for transfer nitpickers.
Warner Bros. · 4K Box Set
Superman III's 4K disc was the only one in the 2023 box that didn't need a 2025 corrected reissue. The other four all got replacement discs, III shipped clean the first time. Still no standalone, you have to buy the box.
Superman agrees to sacrifice his powers to start a relationship with Lois Lane, unaware that three Kryptonian criminals he inadvertently released are conquering Earth.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Sidney J. Furie
Superman IV is the weakest of the run at B-Tier, but the 2025 Reissue is the one to own because Warner corrected the Atmos mix that had wrong music cues scattered through the original 2023 pressing. No standalone exists.
