Robert De Niro movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Alan Parker
S-Tier 4K. Mickey Rourke in Alan Parker's New Orleans noir.
Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Ron Howard
Two feuding siblings carrying on a heroic family tradition as Chicago firefighters. But when a puzzling series of arson attacks is reported, they are forced to set aside their differences to solve the mystery surrounding these crimes.
dir. Quentin Tarantino
S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Tarantino's most underrated film. He personally signed off on the 4K restoration and vetoed an earlier release because it wasn't good enough, which tells you how much he cares about this one. Comparison shots show a real upgrade from the Blu-ray. Imprint also put out an Australian release at their usual eyebrow-raising price.
dir. Todd Phillips
S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Phoenix's Joker on a well-regarded disc. Someone made custom box art that looks like Saul Bass designed it, which got more attention than the official packaging. The film's 4K got caught up in the broader conversation about steelbook scarcity and artificial demand after several releases started selling out immediately.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Kenneth Branagh
S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein with De Niro as the creature. Arrow's 4K was $14.95 USD at Hamilton Book, and the Zavvi exclusive steelbook is a design standout. People project this one, which is a good sign for the transfer. Branagh going full operatic with the material divides viewers.
Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Martin Scorsese
S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Early Scorsese, loud and rough. Criterion's 4K got a negative review from blu-ray.com that collectors told each other to ignore, arguing the reviewer was comparing it to the old Blu-ray instead of judging the transfer on its own terms. Second Sight co-funded the new restoration and will likely use a Fidelity in Motion encode, which typically beats Criterion's Pixelogic encoding.
Second Sight Films · 4K + Blu-ray
Sold out during the Criterion 24-hour flash sale in March 2026. Scorsese on Criterion 4K, and apparently the community still had people who needed this one.
Imprint · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. John Frankenheimer
A briefcase with undisclosed contents – sought by Irish terrorists and the Russian mob – makes its way into criminals' hands. An Irish liaison assembles a squad of mercenaries, or 'ronin', and gives them the thorny task of recovering the case.
Capelight Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city.
Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Francis Ford Coppola
In the continuing saga of the Corleone crime family, a young Vito Corleone grows up in Sicily and in 1910s New York. In the 1950s, Michael Corleone attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.
Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Brian De Palma
Paramount's 2022 4K scored 4.5 on blu-ray.com with natural grain and a punchier audio mix than the old Blu-ray. Avoid the $11 USD Paramount 4K Preorders line on Amazon, which ships in DVD-sized cases with no special features and is cheaply produced on purpose. The Best Buy steelbook has better artwork if you want the premium version.
dir. Robert De Niro
A-Tier MVD Entertainment 4K. De Niro's directorial debut. Spent years on collector wishlists before this release finally materialized.
MVD Entertainment · 4K + Blu-ray
A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Scorsese's gangster film. The restaurant scene tracking shot benefits from every pixel.
dir. Michael Mann
Mann's downtown LA shootout still sounds like no other scene in the format. A-Tier Warner disc that gets cited in every debate about the best 90s action transfers.
Warner Bros.
dir. Martin Brest
A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. De Niro and Charles Grodin's buddy road movie. Shout Factory's transfer got decent reviews with good Dolby Vision and consistent grain. Some mixed word of mouth before release had people setting low expectations, which the disc cleared.
Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Sergio Leone
A-Tier 20th Century Studios Blu-ray. Leone's epic crime saga, and the 4K announcement had people demanding a 100GB disc for a film this long. No one can decide if they love it or hate it, which is part of the appeal. People have been asking Criterion for a proper release for years. A new restored version was shown at a special screening that only De Niro got to see.
20th Century Studios · Blu-ray
dir. Michael Cimino
Three steelworkers enlist in the army and are sent to Vietnam, one leaving behind a rushed marriage, the others a shared love. What they encounter during the war changes their lives forever.
StudioCanal · 4K + Blu-ray
First physical release after nearly three years of waiting. Criterion disc. Early rewatchers are calling it one of the best films of the decade, and the consensus is that it rewards a second and third viewing far more than the theatrical experience.
Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray
Vietnam vet Jon Rubin returns to New York and rents a rundown flat in Greenwich Village. It is in this flat that he begins to film, 'Peeping Tom' style, the people in the apartment across the street. His obsession with making films leads him to fall in with a radical 'Black Power' group, which in turn leads him to carry out a bizarre act of urban terrorism.
Radiance Films · Limited Edition
dir. Jay Roach
Universal 4K at Barnes and Noble preorder. The Fockers sequel nobody loves but everyone owns on DVD because it was on the shelf at Costco in 2005.
Universal Pictures · 4K Ultra HD
dir. Barry Levinson
Warner 4K preorder up at Gruv. Sleepers never got the disc treatment it deserved, and Warner finally committing to it is a positive sign.
