Manta Lab

dir. Danny Boyle

The 4K landed on Sony Pictures September 23, 2025, with reference-level video and audio across the board. Extras are the only weak spot. Danny Boyle shot the film on iPhone rigs and the HDR pass holds every texture through cleanly. The Zavvi UK steelbook has become the preferred SKU over the plain US keepcase, and Bone Temple follows in April 2026.

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 70s paranoia thriller alongside Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View. It wasn't on the leaked WB release list so it caught people off guard.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Miloš Forman

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K with a perfect 5.0 specs score. The 4K restoration played theatrically before the disc release. Both the theatrical and director's cut are included. The production design finally gets the resolution it needed.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Francis Lawrence

Constantine's 2005 cinematography finally has a transfer worth the source. Three steelbook variants are out, and they don't look the same. Zavvi's UK Collector's Edition has beveled-flame texture detail collectors are praising, while the Gruv US version is getting torched for flat artwork and a blank back panel. Warner's standard 4K is the rights-holder pressing.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tim Burton, Mike Johnson

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Tim Burton's stop-motion film. The animation benefits from 4K resolution.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Joseph Kosinski

Warner's 4K hit October 7, 2025 with reference-level video and audio. The IMAX cinematography translates cleanly through Dolby Vision on the race footage. The Walmart steelbook sold out inside an hour and restocks have been thin, while the standard 4K has been dropping to $12.49 on Amazon during Prime events.

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The latest Final Destination. Warner's horror franchise.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Stanley Kubrick

Warner put this on 4K in September 2020, and the Best Buy steelbook was going for $100+ on eBay for years. A new US steelbook preorder just hit Amazon and Gruv as a reprint. It's mono audio with no Atmos, which is the original mix.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Miller

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Roadshow Australia shipped a standalone 4K UHD Black & Chrome steelbook, which is the proper 4K B&C release Fury Road collectors never got. Five steelbook variants including Manta Lab Hong Kong and the UK HMV Exclusive.

dir. Adam Wingard

In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages.

dir. Todd Phillips

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The Joker musical sequel that nobody asked for. The box makes a laughing sound when you open it, which, depending on your perspective, is either fun or insulting. Most people expected it to be awful based on reception, and the collectors who actually watched it found it less terrible than advertised. The King of Comedy connection is what Criterion fans pull on.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Richard Donner

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. WB is doing the first Lethal Weapon solo in 4K, and everyone is waiting for the inevitable quadrilogy box set before buying in. The original Blu-ray was rough, so this remaster with Atmos is a real upgrade. The steelbook is $29.99 USD on GRUV, and the standard edition art actually looks better than the steel.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. S.J. Clarkson

S-Tier Sony 4K. The superhero film that became an ironic collector's item. People buy this for bad movie nights and steelbook completionism. The steelbook art is actually nice, which people acknowledged while also calling it a terrible film. "This one is for the true 4K sickos" was the prevailing sentiment.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Bong Joon Ho

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi comedy with Robert Pattinson. The 4K hit during a Target B2G1 sale, which was the trigger for a lot of people to pick it up alongside Kill Bill and Jackie Brown. Walmart's physical media section continues to shrink, and this title got caught in that larger frustration.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Christopher McQuarrie

Paramount put this out October 14, 2025 and it's been a divisive release on every front. The film itself splits collectors down the middle, with the action sequences landing hard and the runtime padded by exposition a lot of people found tedious. The steelbook art got mixed reactions too, mostly from collectors wishing Paramount had stuck with the silver and grey design used for M:I 1 through 6. Extras-wise the disc is stacked, with audio commentaries, an isolated score track, deleted scenes, and the usual making-of pack.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Hitchcock's chase film with Cary Grant, scoring a perfect 5.0 overall. WB's protective steelbook packaging was praised as an industry standard others should follow. A World Cinema Library premium edition exists for the truly dedicated. To Catch a Thief is also coming to 4K, and people want Strangers on a Train and Dial M for Murder next.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Dan Berk, Robert Olsen

A-Tier Paramount 4K. The 2025 Jack Quaid dental thriller. Collectors noted that advertising 30 minutes of special features is embarrassing compared to what DVDs used to include.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Miloš Forman

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 50th anniversary steelbook is coming in November 2025. WB was already considering this alongside Gravity, Dirty Harry, and The Searchers. The steelbook artwork was criticized for being incongruent with the film.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Christopher Nolan

S-Tier Universal 4K with a perfect 5.0 score. Oppenheimer sold out in one week, which prompted a Variety article about why retailers were pulling physical media while discs were selling like this. The IMAX scenes that fill the full screen are the reason to own the disc over digital, since the streaming version crops them. Nolan films consistently drive 4K sales more than anything else.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. David Fincher

Fincher collectors hold onto this one and the steelbook has a steady second-hand market. The 4K disc delivers what you want from a Fincher film.

Sony Pictures · Steelbook (4K + Blu-ray)

dir. David Fincher

The 4K theatrical rerelease renewed attention right before the disc hit. The Zavvi "What's In The Box?" edition at $98 USD was roasted immediately, with one comment offering to put their DVD in a cardboard box with Walmart air fresheners instead. The standard 4K packaging also took heat for the case design, prompting custom case inserts. None of that matters because the A-Tier transfer on this film is exceptional. The dark interiors and rain-soaked exteriors test any display setup. Fincher's 30th anniversary restoration is the definitive home version.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ryan Coogler

Warner kept the IMAX aspect ratio scenes on the 4K instead of cropping them to a locked 2.39:1 frame. Dune collectors have been waiting for a studio to actually do that. The 100GB disc with Dolby Vision is a real spec sheet for a major release in 2025, though the standalone keepcase drops the Blu-ray and only the steelbook version includes both discs.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Parker Finn

Paramount S-Tier 4K. The Atmos track on the Smile 2 disc is the reason to own this physically. Naomi Scott carries the sequel and most people think it's a step up from the first, though opinions split.

Universal Pictures · Collector's Edition

dir. Kelly Marcel

Sony's S-Tier 4K finishes the trilogy with reference-grade Dolby Vision and Atmos. The German Plaion Steelbook is the design pick, with collectors flagging the comic artwork as the standout of the year. The US Steelbook is sitting around $37 and most buyers are holding for the sale.

dir. David Fincher

Paramount A-Tier 4K. Fincher fans waited years for this and the October 2024 release delivered. The digital sheen translates to HDR in ways that catch you off guard for a 2007 film shot on early Viper cameras.
