S-Tier Sony 4K with Dolby Vision. This comes inside the Frank Capra at Columbia box set for Columbia's 100th anniversary, 20 films with 9 in 4K. It Happened One Night is the headliner. The set looks expensive and some people are waiting for a 50% off sale, while others want to buy early to prove there's a market for this kind of deep-catalog release from a major studio.

S-Tier Sony 4K with Dolby Vision. Part of the Frank Capra at Columbia box set for the 100th anniversary, alongside It Happened One Night. The set is 20 films with 9 in 4K. People are waiting for 50% off sales but also feeling pressure to buy early to show demand for this kind of catalog deep dive from a major studio.
A-Tier Paramount 4K. The steelbook drops to $9.96 USD on Amazon pretty regularly, which makes it an easy December pickup. The 4K disc is black and white, and the included Blu-ray is the colorized version. Black and white films actually benefit a lot from HDR because you get more shades of gray and better contrast. The UK steelbook has two B&W discs while the US version splits color and B&W across formats.
