Peeping Tom(1960)

7.4/10

dir. Michael Powell

S-Tier

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Michael Powell's 1960 horror that ended his career. The new 4K restoration played in art house theaters and the reception was strong. The old Blu-ray was never that good, so this is a meaningful upgrade. People love to point out this is better than Psycho, which came out the same year. Scorsese helped revive the film's reputation decades later.

Kind Hearts and Coronets(1949)

7.6/10

dir. Robert Hamer

S-Tier

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Alec Guinness playing eight members of the same family. The StudioCanal 70th anniversary set is the one to get if you're region-free, with better packaging than the Kino release.
