dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

Scream Factory 4K from December 2024. Christopher Walken in Cronenberg's Stephen King adaptation, which collectors rank as one of the best King-to-film transfers on 4K. The Scream Factory release was a day-one buy for a lot of people when it was announced alongside Clue and Point Break.

Steel Magnolias(1989)

7.2/10

S-Tier

Sony S-Tier 4K. Julia Roberts and the ensemble cast. The 4K announcement drew mild enthusiasm from collectors, mostly from people who wanted it for someone else in the household. Not a format showcase but a solid catalog addition.

Sony Pictures · 35th Anniversary Edition

Top Gun(1986)

7.0/10

dir. Tony Scott

A-Tier

Paramount A-Tier 4K. The upgrade over the Blu-ray is noticeable in the flight scenes, and people keep running A/B comparison posts against Maverick.
