S-Tier Sony 4K. David O. Russell's 70s-set crime film. The period costumes and hair gain detail in 4K.

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.

A-Tier Paramount 4K. McQuarrie's MI7, and Paramount re-released it with "Part One" removed from the title after the planned two-parter structure changed. The US steelbook design didn't match the silver and grey style of entries 1-6, which bothered collectors going for a matching set. The UK Zavvi steelbook was better-looking but pricey at around CAD imported.

dir. Drew Goddard

B-Tier 4K. The cast is stacked and the production design pops in HDR, but the transfer doesn't fully deliver on what the cinematography promises. Fun film, decent disc.
