The Untouchables(1987)

7.8/10

S-Tier

Paramount's 2022 4K is a strong A-Tier transfer with natural grain and a punchier audio mix than the old Blu-ray. Avoid the $11 USD Paramount 4K Preorders line on Amazon, which ships in DVD-sized cases with no special features and is cheaply produced on purpose. The Best Buy steelbook has better artwork if you want the premium version.

Silverado(1985)

6.9/10

dir. Lawrence Kasdan

S-Tier

Sony's S-Tier 4K steelbook generated instant pre-orders. Collectors describe it as a cocaine-fueled western, which is both a compliment and an accurate description of the energy. Kevin Costner's breakout role before Dances with Wolves. The original poster art on the steelbook was a smart choice. Great year for westerns on 4K overall.
