The Natural(1984)

7.4/10

dir. Barry Levinson

A-Tier

An unknown middle-aged batter named Roy Hobbs with a mysterious past appears out of nowhere to take a losing 1930s baseball team to the top of the league.

The Thing(1982)

8.1/10

dir. John Carpenter

A-Tier

Carpenter's practical effects hold up better than most modern CGI and the Universal 4K is A-Tier, though the missing Dolby Vision is the one complaint collectors have. Signed copies from convention appearances are circulating and the Titans of Cult edition has been restocking through Books-a-Million.

Kino Lorber's bringing the sleaziest Bronson to 4K in May and collectors are already excited. Peak early-80s exploitation with Bronson playing a cop who plants evidence, and the Diabolik pre-order is live for anyone who doesn't want to risk it selling out.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins(1985)

6.3/10

dir. Guy Hamilton

Kino Lorber released this today with a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative and Dolby Vision HDR, plus two commentaries including one with the producers. It's a cult pick with a real Fred Ward performance and a Joel Grey casting choice that hasn't aged well, but the disc is classic Kino catalog work.
