Mississippi Burning(1988)

7.7/10

dir. Alan Parker

S-Tier

S-Tier Capelight Pictures 4K. Alan Parker's civil rights thriller with Gene Hackman. Capelight's German mediabook release is the only 4K option, which means importing. The picture quality is reported as great. A Criterion release would make sense for this film, given how many directors people keep requesting for the collection.

Full Metal Jacket(1987)

8.1/10

dir. Stanley Kubrick

A-Tier

Warner put this on 4K in September 2020, and the Best Buy steelbook was going for $100+ on eBay for years. A new US steelbook preorder just hit Amazon and Gruv as a reprint. It's mono audio with no Atmos, which is the original mix.
