Laurence Olivier movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Stanley Kubrick
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.

dir. John Schlesinger
A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. The Dustin Hoffman/Laurence Olivier thriller with the dentist scene. Kino's transfer scores a 4.5 overall. Not a lot of dedicated 4K collector discussion, though it comes up in thriller recommendation threads.
