Nicolas Cage movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.

S-Tier Sony 4K. Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze at peak meta. Sony handled the transfer cleanly and the disc mostly just sits quietly in people's collections without much active discussion.

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Cage's best performance, and people had been asking Criterion for this for years. The existing Sandpiper Blu-ray was dated and out of print, so the Shout 4K was a relief. StudioCanal has a 30th anniversary edition coming too. The cinematography looks better than people expected on this kind of low-budget 90s drama.

The Walmart steelbook got attention for its artwork, and not in a good way. Multiple comments flagged it as AI-generated art, with spider legs that don't add up. The film itself is fun but lightweight, and most people paired it with Nosferatu as a double feature pick rather than buying it on its own merits.
dir. Werner Herzog
A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage in New Orleans. Kino's been giving Herzog's catalog the 4K treatment.

Radiance Films 4K, UK only. The thread was excited until someone clarified the distribution. What it actually confirms is that the 4K license can be separate from the Blu-ray license, the same model Vinegar Syndrome uses.

A 4K theatrical screening was announced this week and the r/criterion thread lit up. Even people who rank it lower in Lynch's filmography are in, and several are hoping this leads to a Criterion release. The Straight Story is the other Lynch title people want on disc, and Dune remains disowned.
