Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World(2003)

7.2/10

dir. Peter Weir

A-Tier

A-Tier Disney 4K. This was THE most-requested 4K in the collector community, and the announcement generated massive excitement. The cannons on the DVD had legendary bass that the Blu-ray neutered with a 25Hz filter, so the 4K audio is being closely watched. Disney left out the 70-minute making-of documentary from the DVD, which frustrated people who wanted a definitive release.

The Da Vinci Code(2006)

6.7/10

dir. Ron Howard

A-Tier May 19, 2026

Sony 4K coming May 19. No tier rating yet and the movie is uneven, but the announcement got decent attention from Ron Howard collectors and theology buffs.

Dogville(2003)

dir. Lars von Trier

C-Tier

C-Tier Eagle Pictures 4K. Lars von Trier's stage play film.
