dir. Danny DeVito

Kino Lorber 4K dropping May 12 with a new scan from the original camera negative, Dolby Vision, and a Barry Sonnenfeld interview as the headline extra. DeVito directed this and it's one of his best. The reaction to the announcement has been warm, with people praising Kino for their recent run of 80s comedies on 4K. No reviews yet since it hasn't shipped, but the Kino track record with catalog titles has been strong. Pre-orders up at Diabolik and Unobstructed View for Canadian buyers.

dir. David Cronenberg

Kino Lorber S-Tier 4K from March 2022 with a Dolby Vision master approved by cinematographer Peter Suschitzky. Collectors pair this with A History of Violence as the Cronenberg/Mortensen double feature. The bathhouse fight scene is the sequence everyone tests their display with.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Stanley Kubrick

S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Early Kubrick, black and white, 4:3 aspect ratio. People thought it was wild that this got a 4K release before Eyes Wide Shut. The transfer itself is clean. First-time viewers tend to approach it as a curiosity piece rather than essential Kubrick, which is fair for a 1955 B-movie noir.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Miller

S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K UHD with Dolby Vision, a new scan from the original 35mm elements, and the Australian dub that Warner stripped from their release. Warner has the film on 4K via the Anthology and 5 Film Collection but Kino's pressing is the reference.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Penelope Spheeris

Kino Lorber gave a Chris Farley vehicle the full 4K treatment in 2025, scanned from the OCN with Dolby Vision. Hidef-digest scored it 5/5 video and 5/5 audio, razor sharp with film grain intact. Companion release to their Tommy Boy 4K. The Walmart-exclusive steelbook has new artwork, not a reissue of the old Blu-ray steel.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Adrian Lyne

S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Adrian Lyne's million-dollar proposition with Redford, Moore, and Harrelson. Kino's transfer is decent for a 90s catalog title, though this isn't the Lyne film people tend to seek out first.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Frankenheimer

Kino Lorber 4K of Frankenheimer's late-career thriller with Affleck. Showed up in an Amazon 3-for-2 deal, where the main complaint was Amazon shipping damaged copies. Thin collector interest beyond completionists and Frankenheimer fans.

dir. Yorgos Lanthimos

Kino Lorber S-Tier 4K. Lanthimos at his most unsettling, and the clinical cinematography benefits from the higher resolution in ways that make the dinner scenes even more unbearable.

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Melville's noir about informers. The UK Blu-ray was the previous go-to before Kino's 4K arrived, and the cafe scenes benefit most from the cleaner master.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Sidney Lumet

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K with a perfect 5.0 specs score. Every scene is a close-up of a sweating face in a jury room, and the 4K grain and detail make you feel the claustrophobia. The Kino disc also includes In the Heat of the Night as a bonus feature, which the Criterion edition doesn't have.

dir. Michael Winner

Kino Lorber's 4K UHD dropped January 2023 with a new 2022 HDR/Dolby Vision master from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative. The disc is UHD100, which is rare for a catalog title and shows in the bitrate. The rest of the Death Wish series is still Blu-ray only, so this is the only entry collectors can get on 4K for now.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Martin McDonagh

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson hiding out in Belgium after a botched hit. The Kino release has good extras and a clean transfer, and Second Sight also has a version if you prefer their packaging. A lot of people own both.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alain Resnais

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Resnais' 1961 puzzle film with the painted shadows. The Criterion and StudioCanal releases both exist, but reviews agree the Criterion has artificially pushed contrast. The Kino 2019 release is the version to own.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. The Dustin Hoffman/Laurence Olivier thriller with the dentist scene. Kino's transfer scores a 4.5 overall. Not a lot of dedicated 4K collector discussion, though it comes up in thriller recommendation threads.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Rob Reiner

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Rob Reiner's Stephen King adaptation with Kathy Bates, and Kino's transfer scores 4.5 overall. The disc was available for $15.65 USD on Amazon and people jumped on it at that price. Collectors are still waiting for Arrow's Carrie 4K to pair with this.

A-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Mario Martone's 2022 Italian drama. The collector signal here is very thin.

dir. Billy Wilder

Kino Lorber's announcement got immediate pre-orders. People were eyeing the Blu-ray when the 4K dropped, and the relief in the comments was palpable. The slipcover artwork is beautiful and the special features are loaded, with two commentary tracks and multiple featurettes. Paramount loosening their licensing policy is part of why this exists. Breakfast at Tiffany's in 4K is the next Hepburn title everyone keeps requesting.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Stevens

Kino Lorber's 4K scored a perfect 5.0, which almost never happens. Two commentary tracks and a loaded special features package. Excitement was genuine from western fans who consider this one of the greatest ever made. The transfer should be gorgeous given the Technicolor source material and Stevens' meticulous visual style.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Phil Alden Robinson

Kino Lorber's 4K comes from a new scan of the original camera negative with Dolby Vision. People waited years for this one and the transfer doesn't disappoint. The ensemble cast (Redford, Poitier, Aykroyd, Phoenix) makes it one of those films that's better than it has any right to be.

Years after his squad was ambushed during the Gulf War, Major Ben Marco finds himself having terrible nightmares. He begins to doubt that his fellow squad-mate Sergeant Raymond Shaw, now a vice-presidential candidate, is the hero he remembers him being.

The Kino Lorber 4K packs two commentary tracks, Sydney Pollack's 2001 talk and a historian track from 2023, plus a 59-minute Pollack career documentary on the Blu-ray. The French StudioCanal steelbook predates it by three years for anyone who wants a different shelf look.

C-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. There's a running joke that this should be Criterion spine #1000, and the fan-made mock cover art is reportedly better than anything Criterion has actually produced. Kino put out the 4K in 2024.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Andrey Zvyagintsev

C-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. The 1989 underwater monster movie, not the Zvyagintsev drama. Basically an underwater remake of The Thing with a Jerry Goldsmith score. Kino's 4K looks decent, especially the non-underwater scenes where the color has room to breathe.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Brett Ratner

Most of the discussion around Red Dragon circles back to Manhunter instead. Collectors keep asking when Mann's version will get a proper 4K, and Red Dragon threads reliably turn into Manhunter appreciation posts. The Kino disc is competent but the C-Tier rating reflects Brett Ratner's direction more than the transfer itself.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Todd Phillips

Kino is carving out a niche with millennial comedies and the announcement got a warm reception. The real enthusiasm in those threads was less about Road Trip itself and more about what it signals. If Kino is going this deep into early-2000s comedies, Eurotrip, Old School, and Van Wilder might not be far behind.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Sidney Lumet

Pacino disappearing into the role is the thing everyone mentions after watching. People who saw the 35mm print say the 4K captures that same quality. The C-Tier rating from Kino stings for a film this good. Collectors recommend pairing it with Prince of the City, same director, similar territory, arguably even better.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Billy Wilder

Kino Lorber C-Tier 4K. Billy Wilder's POW comedy-drama is better than its tier suggests. The Kino release landed with a shrug from collectors who were hoping for Sunset Boulevard instead, and the C-Tier reflects limitations in the source material rather than a bad job by Kino.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Peter Hyams

Kino Lorber C-Tier 4K. One of the better Die Hard clones, with Van Damme fighting terrorists at a hockey game. The C-Tier reflects the source material more than the effort Kino put in, and JCVD fans who've picked it up seem satisfied with the release.

Kino Lorber · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Edward Dmytryk

Edward Dmytryk's 1972 Eurotrash Bluebeard gets a 4K from Kino Lorber sourced from a new StudioCanal SDR master. The SDR detail is unusual since most 4K UHD pressings ship with HDR10 or Dolby Vision. The film itself is a notorious late-career Burton vehicle with Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton, Virna Lisi, Sybil Danning, and an Ennio Morricone score that's never had a transfer this clean.

Kino Lorber released this today with a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative and Dolby Vision HDR, plus two commentaries including one with the producers.

Kino's announcement has a problem. The disc says 'new 4K master from the original 35mm camera negative' but the film was shot on Arri Alexa, digitally. The community caught it within hours. Whether that's a typo or something stranger, nobody's pre-ordering until there's clarification.

Kino Lorber Studio Classics put John Binder's 1984 UFO satire on 4K in March 2026. The film never had a Blu-ray release, going straight from DVD to UHD. The new Dolby Vision master came from a 4K scan of the 35mm OCN and looks grain-heavy with natural color. Cindy Williams, Fred Ward, and Harry Dean Stanton as a fake faith healer running a UFO-cult con job in rural Arizona. Binder records the commentary alongside producer Jeanne Field and historian Daniel Kremer.
