The Green Mile(1999)

8.5/10

dir. Frank Darabont

S-Tier

Warner S-Tier 4K. The Green Mile steelbook kept selling out at Gruv and getting restocked, with people stuck on backorders for weeks. The Darabont/King emotional gut-punch lands differently at this resolution, and the HDR gives the prison interiors depth the old Blu-ray flattened.

The Shawshank Redemption(1994)

8.7/10

dir. Frank Darabont

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. People who thought it looked flat on DVD and Blu-ray say the 4K is the first version that really looks right. The Film Vault steelbook has nice artwork and gets talked about a lot. More of a film that just looks like film for the first time on home video than a flashy demo disc.
