S-Tier

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Roeg and Cammell's 1970 film with Mick Jagger. The Criterion 4K means Warner Archive films are now fair game for Criterion upgrades, which has people hoping for The Hudsucker Proxy and others.

The Man Who Fell to Earth(1976)

6.4/10

dir. Nicolas Roeg

S-Tier

Roeg's Bowie film already has the Lionsgate steelbook in the US, but the StudioCanal 4K is the restoration to watch. Collectors have been split between waiting for Criterion and buying region-free, and this edition settles that for anyone with a multi-region player.

Walkabout(1971)

C-Tier

Second Sight's Blu-ray actually edges out the Criterion 4K here. Same scan, better encoding. If you're choosing between the two, the Second Sight disc is the one collectors point to for Roeg's outback photography.
