Throw Momma from the Train(1987)

6.2/10

dir. Danny DeVito

S-Tier

Kino Lorber 4K dropping May 12 with a new scan from the original camera negative, Dolby Vision, and a Barry Sonnenfeld interview as the headline extra. DeVito directed this and it's one of his best. The reaction to the announcement has been warm, with people praising Kino for their recent run of 80s comedies on 4K. No reviews yet since it hasn't shipped, but the Kino track record with catalog titles has been strong. Pre-orders up at Diabolik and Unobstructed View for Canadian buyers.

This Is Spinal Tap(1984)

7.9/10

dir. Rob Reiner

S-Tier

S-Tier Criterion 4K. The IMDB page rates it out of 11 instead of 10, which feels right. The in-character DVD commentary where the band complains about being misrepresented is worth owning on its own.
