Jake Gyllenhaal movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Michael Bay
S-Tier 4K. Michael Bay shot this entirely on real locations in LA with ambulances and helicopters. The transfer is intense. A demo disc for action fans.

S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Ang Lee's film. Kino did a good job with this one.

dir. Doug Liman
This is the original 1989 Swayze film, not the 2024 remake. Vinegar Syndrome's 4K from the original 35mm negative is the definitive version, and the BD-100 disc format means no compression compromises. Arrow also released their own version with different artwork that got criticism for being weaker than VS's cover. The VS edition runs $45 USD, which some people found steep for Road House, but the transfer quality is hard to argue with.

dir. Jacques Audiard
Oregon, 1851. Hermann Kermit Warm, a chemist and aspiring gold prospector, keeps a profitable secret that the Commodore wants to know, so he sends the Sisters brothers, two notorious assassins, to capture him on his way to California.
dir. Sam Mendes
A-Tier Universal 4K. Sam Mendes' Gulf War film with Jake Gyllenhaal, and Roger Deakins shot it, so the HDR upgrade actually matters here. The 20th anniversary steelbook art is lazy. GRUV has also had trouble getting copies to people on time.
dir. Dan Gilroy
A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dan Gilroy's LA crime thriller with Jake Gyllenhaal. The steelbook cover art was universally hated, which is frustrating for a film this good. It's a 2K digital intermediate upscale, but the Drive 4K upscale turned out well so there's hope.

dir. Duncan Jones
When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
dir. Antoine Fuqua
Lionsgate A-Tier 4K. Jake Gyllenhaal's boxing film. The steelbook has been spotted as low as $6 USD on Gruv, which is practically clearance pricing and hard to pass up even if it's not high on the wishlist.
Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Jon Watts
Sony A-Tier 4K with a 3.0 score. The Holland MCU Spider-Man films are upscaled rather than native 4K, which puts them a step behind the Raimi trilogy and the Amazing films on a technical level. The steelbook market is active but the artwork hasn't won many fans.
Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. David Fincher
Paramount A-Tier 4K. Fincher fans waited years for this and the October 2024 release delivered. The digital sheen translates to HDR in ways that catch you off guard for a 2007 film shot on early Viper cameras.
