Shout Factory's Collector's Edition from November 2024 has Dolby Vision and a 35mm-sourced scan where the autumn color palette and the night-driving scenes get real depth from the HDR pass. The extras are thin at 11 minutes total, which is frustrating for a Collector's Edition, but the transfer earned its S-Tier.

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Oliver Stone's Vietnam film. Shout Factory keeps picking up significant catalog titles.

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. The cheerleader comedy on 4K. Shout Factory has been going deep on 2000s catalog titles.

dir. Jonathan Lynn

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Tim Curry in a board game adaptation. The fact that this film has a cult following strong enough to warrant an S-Tier 4K from Shout Factory says everything about where physical media is right now.

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dolph Lundgren sci-fi action from 1990.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Rob Cohen

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery with a dragon. The practical effects plus early CGI are an interesting HDR test.

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Schwarzenegger vs. the Devil at Y2K. Shout Factory picking up 90s action catalog.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Carpenter

S-Tier from Shout Factory. There are multiple packaging options but the discs are identical across the standard edition, steelbook, and collector's edition. If you're new to this one and the black levels look crushed, that's normal. It was shot almost entirely at night on a low budget, and Carpenter himself has said that's just how it looks. The Eagle Pictures Italian release is a better-looking transfer for anyone willing to import. The steelbook art is a love-it-or-hate-it situation, some people think it looks more Mad Max than Snake Plissken.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Joel Coen

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. The Coens' Midwest crime film. Shout Factory's transfer has been praised.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Kathryn Bigelow

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Kathryn Bigelow's submarine thriller with Harrison Ford. Shout picked it up for 4K. Not much collector excitement, with one person calling it a sleep aid.

Shout! Studios

dir. Mike Figgis

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Cage's best performance, and people had been asking Criterion for this for years. The existing Sandpiper Blu-ray was dated and out of print, so the Shout 4K was a relief. StudioCanal has a 30th anniversary edition coming too. The cinematography looks better than people expected on this kind of low-budget 90s drama.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Clive Barker

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Clive Barker's detective horror from 1995. Thin current signal, but the original pressing has become an OOP target for people who missed it.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Joe Dante

Joe Dante's love letter to William Castle and atomic-age creature features getting a 4K from Shout Factory. S-Tier transfer and the early response is all positive. One of those films that never had a bad word said about it but somehow never got a proper release until now.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George A. Romero

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Romero's killer monkey film from 1988. People consider it fun if a bit more formulaic than his other work. It gets mentioned alongside Martin as part of the Romero 4K collection people are building.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Oliver Stone

Shout Factory 4K with a solid transfer, but the 4K disc is Director's Cut only. If you prefer the Theatrical cut you're stuck with the included Blu-ray. People mis-file it as a Tarantino film even though Oliver Stone directed it.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Mike Nichols

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Mike Nichols' 1998 political satire with John Travolta. No relevant collector discussion around the 4K disc.

dir. Simon Wincer

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Tom Selleck in an Australian western. The 4K revealed that a young kid in the film is Ben Mendelsohn, which blew people's minds.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Chris McKay

The Walmart steelbook got attention for its artwork, and not in a good way. Multiple comments flagged it as AI-generated art, with spider legs that don't add up. The film itself is fun but lightweight, and most people paired it with Nosferatu as a double feature pick rather than buying it on its own merits.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Irvin Kershner

Shout Factory's 4K is a massive upgrade over the old Blu-ray. The steelbook artwork is polarizing, with Robo's face getting roasted in the comments, and most people recommending the standard 4K release instead. Region availability is limited to US and Canada, which frustrated international collectors. The slipcovers for RoboCop 2 and 3 line up nicely on a shelf, even though 3 is still Blu-ray only.

Shout! Studios · Limited Edition Steelbook

dir. Norman Jewison

Shout Factory's S-Tier 4K of the original 1975 Rollerball. Thin collector discussion but the transfer quality speaks for itself. A good 70s dystopian sci-fi disc to have around.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Flynn

Shout Factory announced the 4K and multiple people joked they had just bought the Blu-ray. That's the Shout Factory cycle at this point. Tarantino named his production company after this film, which gives it perennial collector relevance. The revenge thriller pairs well with other Vietnam vet films if you're building that section of your shelf.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Martin Brest

Shout Factory's S-Tier 4K. Thin collector discussion but Pacino's performance is the reason this disc exists. One of those films that gets brought up in "underrated 4K" threads without anyone elaborating much beyond recommending it.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Walter Hill

Shout Factory S-Tier 4K. Walter Hill's neon-soaked rock-and-roll action film with Michael Paré and Diane Lane. People who got it early describe a strong upgrade from the Blu-ray, with the Dolby Vision doing great work on the rain-soaked streets and neon lighting. It's a Collector's Edition but surprisingly shipped without a slipcover.

While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."

Shohoku's “speedster” and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.

Alan, determined to prove he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, sets off to rescue her.

dir. John Sturges

Shout! Select's 4K dropped February 2023, the first time the Sturges original made the format. Bronson plays Bernardo O'Reilly, one of the seven, and the role still anchors his connection to the western genre for collectors. A German Magnificent Seven Collection also exists if you want Return of and the rest of the franchise packaged together.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. John Woo

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. John Woo's breakthrough film and the one that started the heroic bloodshed genre. The Shout Factory disc is the way to go for this. Comes up regularly in dream Criterion box set threads alongside other Hong Kong action classics.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Werner Herzog

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Werner Herzog dragging a cast through the Amazon jungle, now in HDR. The behind-the-scenes stories are almost as famous as the film itself.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Martin Brest

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. De Niro and Charles Grodin's buddy road movie. Shout Factory's transfer got decent reviews with good Dolby Vision and consistent grain. Some mixed word of mouth before release had people setting low expectations, which the disc cleared.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Dan Gilroy

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dan Gilroy's LA crime thriller with Jake Gyllenhaal. The steelbook cover art was universally hated, which is frustrating for a film this good. It's a 2K digital intermediate upscale, but the Drive 4K upscale turned out well so there's hope.

Shout! Studios · Limited Edition Steelbook

dir. David Twohy

Shout Factory's 4K landed with a censorship controversy. The theatrical cut had a scene edited out, which Shout acknowledged publicly. Comments split between people defending the director's choice and people arguing the theatrical version should match the original theatrical release. The Chronicles of Riddick 4K from Arrow also circulates in the same collector circles. Disc quality itself is strong.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. José Padilha

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K, part of the same wave as RoboCop 2, Matinee, and Species II. The 2014 remake still gets dismissed by fans of the original, but Shout's transfer is strong enough that some people are revisiting it.

Shout! Studios · Steelbook

dir. Ron Howard

Shout Factory's 4K arrived early for some buyers and people had been waiting years for this release. The F1 racing film plays beautifully in 4K with the race sequences benefiting the most from HDR. Strong collector enthusiasm, with Gruv orders also fulfilling. Ron Howard's best film in years according to most of the discussion.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Oliver Stone

The announcement generated more debate about the film's quality than excitement about the disc. Oliver Stone hinted that Platoon is getting a proper 4K redo from Shout Factory, which overshadowed Savages entirely in the same news cycle. The film is polarizing but the A-Tier transfer handles the saturated jungle color palette well.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Oliver Stone

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K. Oliver Stone's Snowden film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Shout Factory has been quietly building a run of Stone titles in 4K.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tom McCarthy

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K. The Boston Globe journalism film that won Best Picture. Shout Factory picked this up and the signal is thin, which tracks for a drama that's more about the writing than the visuals. If you care about the film it's worth owning, but it's not a transfer that's going to sell anyone on the format.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Taylor Hackford

Shout! Factory put this out and it's making rounds again. Keanu, Pacino, Charlize Theron. The 4K is there for anyone who wants it.

Shout! Studios · Collector's Edition

dir. Joe Carnahan

Shout's 4K edition has been floating around discount channels, and if you missed it at full price that's probably the move. Joe Carnahan's Alaska survival thriller translates well to the format, with stark outdoor photography and an Atmos mix that puts the wind and wolf sounds uncomfortably close.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. André Øvredal

The Shout steelbook sold out on Amazon almost immediately and had to be restocked. Opinions on the film are split, but the 4K disc gets consistent praise for its visual presentation, and the period-set Dracula premise plays better on rewatch than it did in theaters.

Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Guy Ritchie

Shout Factory 4K steelbook from February 2026. Guy Ritchie reuniting with Statham in a heist-revenge thriller. The Atmos mix got praise but the steelbook shipped with zero bonus features beyond a trailer, which disappointed collectors expecting Shout's usual extras.

Shout! Studios · Limited Edition Steelbook

dir. John Carpenter

Rob Zombie's reimagining, not the Carpenter original. Imprint limited edition steelbook announced at a price people called a great deal. A-Tier transfer from a film that's more divisive than the disc quality would suggest.

Shout Factory shipped this before some preorders even processed. The subtitle translation is worth reading up on before buying, since the Cantonese street slang doesn't translate neatly and different releases handle the dialogue differently. Arrow Video has a limited edition coming and most boutique collectors are holding out for it.

dir. Werner Herzog

D-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Herzog's 1979 Nosferatu, and the transfer drama is real. BFI's version was criticized for heavy DNR, and BFI's response was basically "that's the transfer we got." Shout Factory did their own separate master, and collectors are cautiously optimistic based on their Aguirre 4K.

4K steelbook preorder. The cover art looks like a Studio Ghibli poster and people are into it.

Shout! Studios · Limited Edition Steelbook

dir. Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

Shout Factory 4K of the Coens' love letter to old Hollywood. Deakins cinematography is the reason to own this, and the HDR pass brings out the Technicolor-homage color work in the dance numbers. The B2G1 at Target is how most people picked this up.

Shout! Studios · 4K Ultra HD

dir. Kevin Connor

Shout Factory Collector's Edition 4K is the one to get. The transfer is a real step up from the old Blu-ray with better detail in the night scenes and natural skin tones. A Walmart-exclusive steelbook dropped in January with different artwork that people really did not like, one person compared it to a Halloween Horror Nights house. A wider steelbook release hits May 12 through Gruv CA. The extras are good too, making-of doc and interviews with the director and cinematographer.

Shout! Studios · Collector's Edition

dir. Wolfgang Petersen

4K steelbook preorder is up. The UK version has better cover art and the US design is getting called AI-looking. $50 USD for a 20-year-old steelbook is a hard sell even for a film this fun.

Shout! Studios / Scream Factory

Shout Factory steelbook coming June 2. Not a disc anyone was expecting to get the steelbook treatment, but Shout keeps digging into the 90s catalog.

Shout! Studios · Steelbook

dir. Vincent Ward

Collector's Edition 4K announced through Gruv. The visuals should be incredible on even a mediocre transfer. Special features are thin, just a commentary track.

Shout! Studios · Collector's Edition

dir. Mamoru Hosoda

Shout's limited edition steelbook is moving. Hosoda's most emotionally grounded film and the hand-drawn animation benefits from the 4K scan in ways that CGI-heavy anime doesn't. Collectors who picked up Belle and Mirai are completing the set.

Shout! Studios · Limited Edition Steelbook

dir. Don Coscarelli

Scream Factory's first 4K for this is due June 2nd with a standard edition and a Limited Edition Steelbook at $39.98 USD with two posters. There's some irritation about the standard edition costing $4 extra if you want the slipcover, but people are mostly just glad Coscarelli is getting any 4K treatment at all.

Scream Factory · Limited Edition Steelbook

Shout Factory steelbook for Woo's action masterpiece. A-Tier transfer and the Hong Kong Cinema Classics announcement had the boutique crowd excited.
