Kirk Douglas movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Stanley Kubrick
S-Tier Eureka 4K with a perfect 5.0 score. Early Kubrick with Kirk Douglas, and the Eureka release beats the Criterion transfer according to people who've compared them. Kino Lorber also has a US version with reversible cover art. People keep hoping for Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut on 4K next.
Eureka Entertainment · 4K + Blu-ray
Universal S-Tier 4K with a perfect 5.0 score. Kubrick's sword-and-sandal epic gets cited as a reference disc in every catalog discussion. The 70mm photography has more detail than a modern display can fully resolve, and HDR finally gives the gladiator pit scenes the contrast they need. Available for under $13 USD on Amazon as a standalone, same disc as the one in the Kubrick 4K box set.
