Movies where Eagle Pictures is the community-recommended best release.

Apocalypse Now(1979)

8.3

dir. Francis Ford Coppola

S-Tier

S-Tier 4K. The 6-disc set with the Final Cut, Redux, and theatrical versions is the best home video release of this film. It was a Best Buy exclusive that went out of stock and has been trading at a premium on eBay. The Eagle Pictures Italian release is also well regarded.

7.9

dir. Damien Chazelle

S-Tier

S-Tier Eagle Pictures 4K. Chazelle's musical with Gosling and Stone. The Lionsgate steelbook originally released at $20 USD, which feels impossible now. It's become a grail for steelbook collectors, and there's also a Best Buy exclusive slipcase edition.

Rambo: First Blood Part II(1985)

Red Heat(1988)

6.2

dir. Walter Hill

A-Tier

The StudioCanal steelbook has great embossing and showed up in European sales for around 15 EUR. Region B locked on the Blu-ray side, which annoyed a few Region A collectors who wanted the full package. Purely a fun 80s action night pick.

Once Upon a Time in the West(1968)

8.3

dir. Sergio Leone

C-Tier

C-Tier Eagle Pictures 4K. Leone's masterpiece western, and the C-Tier is the problem. Bill Hunt warned the 4K would be divisive, and it was. The disc uses a BD-66 with grain reduction, which led to mass cancellations. Paramount announced the 4K in 2023 and then took over a year to release it. People are sticking with their Blu-rays until a better transfer materializes.
