2 John Candy movies from 1987 on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality. 1 S-Tier pick including Spaceballs.
dir. Mel Brooks
Arrow Video's UK Limited Edition is the canonical Spaceballs 4K, region-free with new bonus features. Kino Lorber's US version came first in 2021 but Arrow's restoration package is the upgrade collectors moved to. The sets sell out fast on first printing.

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.
