dir. Gerald Potterton, John Bruno
S-Tier Sony 4K. The animated anthology. The animation styles vary wildly and the HDR helps the more colorful segments.
Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Mel Brooks
When the nefarious Dark Helmet hatches a plan to snatch Princess Vespa and steal her planet's air, space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr and his clueless sidekick fly to the rescue. Along the way, they meet Yogurt, who puts Lone Starr wise to the power of "The Schwartz." Can he master it in time to save the day?
Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. John Hughes
C-Tier Paramount 4K. John Hughes' Thanksgiving classic with Steve Martin and John Candy. The 4K transfer was widely panned, with multiple reviews calling it one of the worst on the format. The lost hour of deleted footage was found and included as a bonus, which was the real draw. The Blu-ray was already mediocre, and the 4K is only marginally better. Paramount needs to redo this one without the grain reduction.
Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
Buck Russell, a lovable but slovenly bachelor, suddenly becomes the temporary caretaker of his nephew and nieces after a family emergency. His freewheeling attitude soon causes tension with his older niece Tia, loyal girlfriend Chanice and just about everyone else who crosses his path.
Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Howard Deutch
Universal announced this alongside Harry and the Hendersons on the same day. The comments are pure nostalgia. 'Finally. One of the best 80s summer movies.' John Candy in 4K is the only argument you need.
