Robert De Niro · 1970s

dir. Martin Scorsese

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Early Scorsese, loud and rough. Criterion's 4K got a negative pro review that collectors have largely 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.

Sony Pictures · Steelbook (4K + Blu-ray)

dir. Francis Ford Coppola

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Michael Cimino

Scream Factory's steelbook is the Region A option, and the StudioCanal digipak from the UK remains the definitive package. The 4K restoration scores a 4.5 on bestblurays, and Cimino's Pennsylvania steel town photography benefits enormously from the HDR pass.

StudioCanal · 40th Anniversary Edition

dir. John D. Hancock

The story of a New York pro baseball team and two of its players. Henry Wiggen is the star pitcher and Bruce Pearson is the normal, everyday catcher who is far from the star player on the team and friend to all of his teammates. During the off-season, Bruce learns that he is terminally ill, and Henry, his only true friend, is determined to be the one person there for him during his last season with the club. Throughout the course of the season, Henry and his teammates attempt to deal with Bruce's impending illness, all the while attempting to make his last year a memorable one.

dir. Brian De Palma

Early De Palma getting the Radiance Limited Edition treatment on May 19. The follow-up to Greetings and the kind of scrappy 70s New York filmmaking that Radiance does well with. Pre-orders up at Diabolik DVD.
