Radiance Films S-Tier 4K. One of the best neo-noirs of the 80s and Radiance gave it an incredible presentation. If you like slow-burn character studies with gorgeous cinematography, you already know if you want this.

dir. John Carpenter
Sony S-Tier 4K. One of the more under-appreciated John Carpenter films, with Jeff Bridges playing an alien on a road trip across America. The Columbia Classics box set originally included this, and Sony releasing a standalone steelbook is good news for people who didn't want to buy the whole set. Target's buy 2 get 1 free deal has brought the price down to around $30 USD.

Universal S-Tier 4K. The Dude abides in reference quality. One of those discs that gets bought on impulse every time someone posts it, and the comments are always just quotes from the film.

Criterion S-Tier 4K. Gilliam's most emotionally grounded film, and the Criterion transfer does it justice. The fantasy sequences in HDR really earn the tier rating.

dir. Peter Bogdanovich
Sony S-Tier 4K. Bogdanovich's black-and-white masterpiece preserves the grain structure and depth of field that made the cinematography famous in 1971. The pool hall scenes and the empty street shots look staggering on a good display.

A-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine in a modern Texas crime film. The West Texas photography works well in HDR.

A-Tier 4K. The MCU starter that everyone owns. The Mondo steelbook editions are coming for the whole line and people are bracing for the cost. The existing disc is perfectly fine.
dir. Michael Cimino
Capelight A-Tier 4K. Eastwood and Bridges in a Cimino road movie that got lost in the shuffle of 70s Americana. The Montana location photography is the visual draw, and the film is a hidden gem for anyone who likes the era.

Disney A-Tier 4K. The original's early CGI has a handmade quality that HDR actually enhances, and the Light Cycle sequences are the demo moments. Pairs nicely with Legacy for a double feature.

dir. Joseph Kosinski
Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy and daring son of Kevin Flynn, investigates his father's disappearance and is pulled into The Grid. With the help of a mysterious program named Quorra, Sam quests to stop evil dictator Clu from crossing into the real world.
dir. Drew Goddard
B-Tier 4K. The cast is stacked and the production design pops in HDR, but the transfer doesn't fully deliver on what the cinematography promises. Fun film, decent disc.
dir. Stephen Hopkins
C-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones in a bomb disposal thriller. Kino has the 4K.
Kino Lorber
dir. Taylor Hackford
No tier rating yet. Phil Collins does the soundtrack, Bridges does the brooding, and the disc exists but nobody is really talking about it. Bridges fans will grab it, everyone else can skip.
