4 Jon Gries films on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality. 2 S-Tier picks including Men in Black, Real Genius.
dir. Barry Sonnenfeld
S-Tier Sony 4K. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the alien buddy comedy. Sony's steelbook got a 25th anniversary reprint, and PleasRewind had a restock that sold out fast. The disc stacking inside multi-film sets has been a complaint, with MIB being one of the titles affected.

dir. Martha Coolidge
Sony's 4K got praise for a clean, natural transfer with good color. One of those mid-80s comedies that never stopped being quotable, and the disc does right by it. William Atherton doing his signature thing is enough reason to own it.

dir. Peter Berg
When Travis, the mouthy son of a criminal, disappears in the Amazon in search of a treasured artifact, his father sends in Beck, who becomes Travis's rival for the affections of Mariana, a mysterious Brazilian woman. With his steely disposition, Beck is a man of few words -- but it takes him all the discipline he can muster to work with Travis to nab a tyrant who's after the same treasure.

Powerhouse Films' Indicator line gives this underseen post-apocalyptic thriller the limited edition treatment with a new restoration. A deep cut even by boutique standards, but Powerhouse's track record with obscure genre picks is why people follow the line.
