Willem Dafoe · 2020s

dir. Tim Burton

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Tim Burton's sequel. Warner's 4K.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Robert Eggers

S-Tier Universal 4K. Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu, and the BFI 4K release became a controversy when the transfer turned out to be heavily processed with DNR and possible AI smoothing. OrbitDVD's social media went viral telling customers to stop asking them for refunds on a disc they didn't make. The Universal US steelbook from GRUV was pre-ordered in droves after the BFI debacle, and a second steelbook with better artwork and debossing followed.

Universal Pictures · Extended Cut

dir. Robert Eggers

Universal S-Tier 4K. Eggers went full Viking saga and the transfer is reference quality. The night raid sequence in Dolby Vision is one of the most visually intense things in the format. People keep putting this in their top reference disc lists.

Universal Pictures · Collector's Edition

dir. Guillermo del Toro

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Del Toro's noir with Bradley Cooper. The Criterion release includes the director's extended cut completely remastered in black and white with Dolby Vision, which del Toro considers the definitive version. The B&W version is what makes this 4K special.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Zack Snyder

Determined to ensure Superman's ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.

dir. Jon Watts

Sony A-Tier 4K with a 5.0 score. The three Spider-Men crossover event was Sony's biggest physical media seller and the steelbook market around it stays active. The inside artwork disappointed collectors who wanted Tobey and Andrew on the interior panels, but the disc itself is excellent.
