Samuel L. Jackson · 1990s

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.

S-Tier Deltamac 4K with a 4.5 score. Tarantino's defining film, and the 4K announcement was met with enormous excitement. Someone ordered from Best Buy and received an unsealed copy with no disc inside, which became its own little saga. The steelbook front art was disliked while the back and inside were praised. Tarantino personally approved the transfer.

S-Tier Criterion 4K. The Hughes Brothers' film about growing up in Watts. Criterion's announcement was part of a wave of Black cinema releases alongside Deep Cover and the Melvin Van Peebles set. The cover art was praised as really good. Vantiva manufacturing QC issues have been affecting Criterion discs, with scratched new discs being reported across multiple titles.

The 2025 Trilogy Steelbook and the 2026 standalone share a remastered Dolby Vision transfer that fixes the color grading from the 2018 HDR10 disc, with a new Atmos mix that runs heavier than the DTS-X track purists liked. Pick the Trilogy if you also want Lost World and JP3.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tony Scott

Arrow Video A-Tier 4K. Tarantino-written and Tony Scott-directed, with an Arrow disc that does both of them justice. Hans Zimmer's 'You're So Cool' theme still hits.
