Leaving Las Vegas(1995)

7.2/10

S-Tier

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.

Bringing Out the Dead(1999)

6.6/10

dir. Martin Scorsese

A-Tier

A-Tier Paramount 4K. Scorsese's underseen ambulance film. Paramount announced the 4K and it was a surprise to most people.

Wild at Heart(1990)

7.0/10

dir. David Lynch

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.
