Warner's standalone 4K from 2024 remains the best route into the original Elm Street, and bestblurays calls it. The 40th Anniversary UK Steelbook from October 2024 adds a rigid slipcase, double-sided foldout poster, art cards, and a numbered booklet for premium presentation. The 7-Film Collection boxset from September 2025 adds both theatrical and uncut versions plus two new featurettes (Boiler Room Confessional, Freddy's Footnotes), though no new commentaries.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alan J. Pakula

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.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Lucas

D-Tier Universal 4K. George Lucas re-colored the film for the special edition and the 4K carries that same color timing over. People noticed immediately and there was a wave of returns. The resolution bump is there if you can live with the color changes.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Clint Eastwood

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Clint Eastwood's Iraq war film. The desert photography and the muted color palette work well in HDR.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Luis Llosa

S-Tier Paramount 4K. A 90s creature feature on 4K for people who grew up watching it on cable.

dir. Adam McKay

A-Tier Paramount 4K. Ron Burgundy in HDR. Paramount's comedy catalog has been reliable on 4K.

Paramount Pictures · 20th Anniversary Edition

dir. James Cameron

A-Tier Disney 4K. Better transfer than the first Avatar. The underwater sequences work well in HDR more than almost anything else in the format. The steelbook leak photos became a meme before the real artwork was revealed.

Walt Disney Studios · 4 Disc Collector's Edition

dir. Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah

After their late former Captain is framed, Lowrey and Burnett try to clear his name, only to end up on the run themselves.

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Greta Gerwig's pink juggernaut. The 4K disc was a big seller.

dir. Tim Burton

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Tim Burton's sequel. Warner's 4K.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

Transfer praise is strong. People are watching it for the first time at age 50 and ordering Lawrence of Arabia the next day. The 4K remaster is pulling a new generation into the epic format films.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Steven Soderbergh

S-Tier Universal 4K. Steven Soderbergh's latest. Walmart steelbook shipping complaints are a recurring theme.

dir. Ángel Manuel Soto

Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab.

dir. Paul Thomas Anderson

Warner put Boogie Nights on 4K in December 2025. The transfer is a deliberate film-look pass mastered from a print to preserve the theatrical feel, so don't expect a razor-sharp digital scan. The real catch is that the disc only carries the 5.1 mix, while the digital copy is the only place you'll get Dolby Atmos.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Francis Ford Coppola

A-Tier Sony 4K. Coppola's Dracula with Gary Oldman. The Gothic production design and practical effects gain detail in 4K.

Sony Pictures · 25th Anniversary Edition

dir. Brad Silberling

S-Tier Universal 4K. The 90s kids movie. Universal announced the 4K and it's a nostalgia buy for a lot of people.

Universal Pictures · 30th Anniversary Edition

dir. Steven Spielberg

C-Tier Paramount 4K. Spielberg and DiCaprio. Paramount announced this alongside Minority Report. The C-Tier might improve with a future rescan.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Darren Aronofsky

A-Tier Sony 4K. Darren Aronofsky's next film. Sony has the release.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

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.

Shout! Studios · Collector's Edition

dir. Amy Heckerling

A-Tier Paramount 4K. The artwork on the standard release looks more Y2K than mid-90s, which some people didn't love. Last year's steelbook had better artwork.

Paramount Pictures · Steelbook (30th Anniversary Limited Edition)

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

A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life with his days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctant Wolverine.

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Clint Eastwood's first Dirty Harry. The San Francisco photography looks good on a modern display.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Denis Villeneuve

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Villeneuve's second Dune. The IMAX sequences and desert photography are demo material.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Mark Robson

Universal's 2025 4K is Charlton Heston's disaster spectacle in native 4K with the original Sensurround low-frequency rumble preserved. Solid A-Tier video and audio but the disc ships barebones with zero extras. The John Williams score finally has the dynamic range to register. A US Steelbook variant is also out. The Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure are still missing in 4K.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Steven Soderbergh

S-Tier Universal 4K. Julia Roberts takes on a power company. Universal catalog.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Louis Leterrier

Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they've ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who's fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves, forever.

dir. Adrian Lyne

Paramount's 40th Anniversary 4K from 2023 is a soft B-tier transfer for Adrian Lyne's stylized '83 lighting, with detail that comes through but never sharply. The Atmos remix is the actual reason to upgrade for "What a Feeling" and "Maniac". The US Steelbook has already been reprinted once. The bare-shoulder welder pose and water-bucket shot have the resolution to show texture the Blu-ray smoothed out.

Paramount Pictures · 40th Anniversary Edition

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Part of the Hitchcock Classics Collection Volume 3 alongside Rope, Torn Curtain, Topaz, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Collectors consistently call Frenzy underrated and say the set is worth it for Rope and Frenzy alone. Hitchcock's most violent film, with a London serial killer plot that feels more like a 70s thriller than his usual style.

Universal Pictures · 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.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

Four years after the events of Halloween in 2018, Laurie has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Universal Pictures · Collector's Edition

dir. Jim Gillespie

S-Tier Sony 4K. A new limited edition steelbook at $55 USD landed with serious pushback from collectors who don't think this is a $55 movie. The standard 4K has been available for a while and the discs are presumably identical. 88 Films also put out a UK trilogy box set if you want all three films together.

Sony Pictures · 25th Anniversary Edition

dir. James Mangold

Finding himself in a new era, and approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him. But as the tentacles of an all-too-familiar evil return in the form of an old rival, Indy must don his hat and pick up his whip once more to make sure an ancient and powerful artifact doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Walt Disney Studios · Ultimate Collector's Edition

dir. Christopher Nolan

A-Tier Paramount 4K. One of the most-owned 4K discs in any collection, and the IMAX shots that fill the whole screen are the reason. The new collector's edition swapped the steelbook for a cardboard sleeve, which went over about as well as you'd expect. The original steelbook restocked at Walmart and moved fast.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Steven Spielberg

A-Tier Universal 4K. Considered one of the best 4K remasters from the 70s, and the contrast to how badly the original Star Wars films have been treated is a favorite collector talking point. The ocean photography and Amity night scenes look fantastic on a modern display.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

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. Gareth Edwards

S-Tier Universal 4K. Shot on film with strong cinematography, which makes the 4K disc look great even though the movie itself was pretty widely panned. People keep pointing out that a reference-quality disc doesn't help much if you never want to watch the film again. Gareth Edwards' signature dark, dim visual style is even more pronounced here than in Godzilla 2014.

Universal Pictures · Collector's Edition

dir. Wes Ball

A-Tier Disney 4K. The latest Planet of the Apes, and Disney's pricing had people annoyed again. The steelbook jumped to $65 USD briefly before settling back down. A version with a raw cut exists for collectors who want extra footage. The 4K presentation is strong for a CGI-heavy film.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Peter Yates

A prince and a fellowship of companions set out to rescue his bride from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet.

dir. David Lean

The post calling this disc a personal benchmark for the format stayed one of the week's biggest threads. The replies are a collective argument for 70mm on 4K, with Suspiria, Vertigo, Ben-Hur, Blade Runner, and The Sound of Music all named. Shot on film, all of them, with restorations that match the source. If you don't own this one yet, the community is running out of patience.

Sony Pictures · Steelbook (60th Anniversary Limited Edition)

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. 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. George Miller

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K, but only the corrected second pressing (UPC 883929 789993). The first pressing shipped with wrong audio tracks. It's the same transfer used in the Mad Max Anthology and 5 Film Collection boxes, and the UK got an HMV Exclusive steelbook with matching artwork.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Miller, George Ogilvie

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 2022 standard release is the only 4K transfer on the market, and it's what Warner used in the Mad Max Anthology and the Zavvi Exclusive UK steelbook. Best Buy steelbook pre-orders from 2021 show up at scalper prices on the aftermarket but the transfer is the same.

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. Peter Weir

A-Tier Disney 4K. This was THE most-requested 4K in the collector community, and the announcement generated massive excitement. The cannons on the DVD had legendary bass that the Blu-ray neutered with a 25Hz filter, so the 4K audio is being closely watched. Disney left out the 70-minute making-of documentary from the DVD, which frustrated people who wanted a definitive release.

Walt Disney Studios · 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. Steven Spielberg

A-Tier Paramount 4K. Spielberg's sci-fi thriller, and the 4K announcement alongside Catch Me If You Can was one of the biggest Paramount reveals of the year. The Catch Me If You Can artwork was universally panned while Minority Report's was better received. The steelbook inner photo is oddly from a 2009 Empire magazine shoot, not the film itself.

Paramount Pictures · 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. Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam

A-Tier Sony 4K. The Holy Grail finally on 4K in August 2025 after years of people waiting. The steelbook announcement got immediate day-one energy. It's bizarre that Meaning of Life was the only Python film on 4K for so long. The $40+ USD steelbook price caused some grumbling, but people bought it anyway.

Sony Pictures · Steelbook (50th Anniversary Edition)

dir. Robert Eggers

S-Tier Universal 4K. Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu, and the BFI 4K release became a controversy when the transfer turned out to be heavily processed with DNR and possible AI smoothing. OrbitDVD's social media went viral telling customers to stop asking them for refunds on a disc they didn't make. The Universal US steelbook from GRUV was pre-ordered in droves after the BFI debacle, and a second steelbook with better artwork and debossing followed.

Universal Pictures · Extended Cut

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. Steven Soderbergh

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Soderbergh's heist film, and the HDR is really good. Soderbergh is meticulous with digital tools but lets his older films look like film on disc, which collectors appreciate. The trilogy 4K set makes a good gift.

Warner Bros. · Steelbook (4K + Blu-ray)

dir. Steven Soderbergh

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The third Ocean's, and someone flagged the transfer for heavy DNR and overblown HDR highlights.

Warner Bros. · Steelbook (4K + Blu-ray)

dir. Steven Soderbergh

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The least popular Ocean's film with no relevant collector discussion about the transfer.

Warner Bros. · Steelbook (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. Dan Trachtenberg

Dan Trachtenberg back in the Predator franchise after Prey, this time with a planet-set prequel where a young Predator pairs with a survivor. Reference-grade transfer from 20th Century Studios. Steelbook ran sold-out within hours, restocks landing at Please Rewind in waves. The base 4K + Blu-ray is the easier grab if you're not chasing the steel. Collectors are also asking when Killer of Killers, Trachtenberg's animated entry, gets its own 4K disc.

20th Century Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Albert Magnoli

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Prince in 1984 Minneapolis. People wanted a purple case and were disappointed. The acting is openly acknowledged as terrible while the music is some of the best ever recorded, and that tension is part of the appeal. Someone bought their first copy on Betamax in 1985.

Warner Bros. · 40th Anniversary Edition

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Part of the Hitchcock Classics Collection Volume 3, which has been discounted as low as $18 USD with coupons. Collectors consistently say the set is worth it for Rope and Frenzy alone. The biggest collector request is Dial M for Murder in 4K, followed by North By Northwest. The single-take technique makes this one interesting to revisit on a better display.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Wes Craven

Paramount's steelbook matched the style of the first film's release, which collectors appreciated. The franchise set is one of those collections where people buy all of them or none of them. S-Tier transfer and the steelbook design with Ghostface on the back connecting to Scream 1 is a nice touch.

Paramount Pictures · 25th Anniversary Edition

dir. Wes Craven

The weakest film in the franchise but collectors buying the steelbook set need it for completion. Scream 4 was the missing piece that annoyed everyone for months, since 3 came out on 4K before 4 did, leaving a visible gap on the shelf. S-Tier transfer regardless of how you feel about the film.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Richard Donner

People bought the Blu-ray for $6 USD and immediately turned around to buy the 4K anyway. A-Tier holiday film that shows up on everyone's Christmas rotation list alongside Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and It's a Wonderful Life. Complaints about barebones special features are the only recurring negative. Bill Murray doing his thing is the entire selling point, and the disc delivers on that.

Paramount Pictures · 35th Anniversary Edition

dir. M. Night Shyamalan

The HMV steelbook misspelled Shyamalan's name on the cover, which is both hilarious and telling. The original steelbook with metallic finish and debossed artwork is a $200 USD grail that people refuse to sell. The standard release artwork is universally hated. The film itself gets strong collector affection, and the S-Tier Disney 4K with archival features is well-stocked.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Lawrence Kasdan

Sony's S-Tier 4K steelbook generated instant pre-orders. Collectors describe it as a cocaine-fueled western, which is both a compliment and an accurate description of the energy. Kevin Costner's breakout role before Dances with Wolves. The original poster art on the steelbook was a smart choice. Great year for westerns on 4K overall.

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

dir. Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson

Sony S-Tier 4K. The animation style pushes the format hard and the 4K disc is a go-to showcase disc. The steelbook designs have varied by region, with the JB Hi-Fi Australia exclusive and the WeET Collection full slip both drawing collector interest.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Herbert Ross

Sony S-Tier 4K. Julia Roberts and the ensemble cast. The 4K announcement drew mild enthusiasm from collectors, mostly from people who wanted it for someone else in the household. Not a format showcase but a solid catalog addition.

Sony Pictures · 35th Anniversary Edition

dir. Ivan Reitman

Sony S-Tier 4K. Bill Murray joins the Army. The standalone steelbook is the first 4K release outside the Columbia Classics box set, and Sony's steelbooks in this tier tend to drop to around $21 USD within six months. If you can wait, the price will come down.

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

Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city.

Someone found it with a slip this week. Half the comments are about the deer in the background of the photo. The other half are '4.5 stars, a perfect movie, minus half a star for being utter gibberish.'

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Judd Apatow

Andy Stitzer has a pleasant life with a nice apartment and a job stamping invoices at an electronics store. But at age 40, there's one thing Andy hasn't done, and it's really bothering his sex-obsessed male co-workers: Andy is still a virgin. Determined to help Andy get laid, the guys make it their mission to de-virginize him. But it all seems hopeless until Andy meets small business owner Trish, a single mom.

The classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson, the commander who supervised the bridge's construction, has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans.

Sony Pictures · 60th Anniversary Edition

dir. Steven Spielberg

An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie, an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing 'Mister' Albert Johnson, things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa.

Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Martin Scorsese

To take down South Boston's Irish Mafia, the police send in one of their own to infiltrate the underworld, not realizing the syndicate has done likewise. While an undercover cop curries favor with the mob kingpin, a career criminal rises through the police ranks. But both sides soon discover there's a mole among them.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Andrew Davis

Warner S-Tier 4K. The train crash sequence is a demo scene and the new master is a massive upgrade from the Blu-ray. One of those catalog releases where the jump from the old disc is obvious in the first five minutes.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Frank Darabont

Warner S-Tier 4K. The Green Mile steelbook kept selling out at Gruv and getting restocked, with people stuck on backorders for weeks. The Darabont/King emotional gut-punch lands differently at this resolution, and the HDR gives the prison interiors depth the old Blu-ray flattened.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Part of the Hitchcock Classics Collection Volume 3, which Gruv has discounted as low as $18 USD with coupons. Collectors call this the weaker of Hitchcock's two versions of the story (the 1934 British original is preferred by purists) but the Doris Day performance and "Que Sera, Sera" sequence make it the more visually interesting disc.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Nia DaCosta

When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, Carol's powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol's estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe.

dir. Robert Eggers

Universal S-Tier 4K. Eggers went full Viking saga and the transfer is reference quality. The night raid sequence in Dolby Vision is one of the most visually intense things in the format. People keep putting this in their top reference disc lists.

Universal Pictures · Collector's Edition

dir. Clint Eastwood

Warner A-Tier 4K. Available individually or in the Eastwood set with Dirty Harry and Pale Rider. The steelbook art got mixed reactions and most collectors are grabbing the individual editions.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Wes Anderson

Universal dropped this on 4K fast, July 29, 2025, which is unusual for a Wes Anderson title. Extras are thin compared to a Criterion treatment, just a four-part making-of. Collectors are split, with some buying now and others holding out for a future Criterion 4K the way Moonrise Kingdom eventually got one.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. James Ivory

A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.

Following an unexpected tragedy, child psychologist Malcolm Crowe meets a nine year old boy named Cole Sear, who is hiding a dark secret.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. David Fincher

S-Tier Sony 4K. Fincher's Facebook film finally got a standalone 4K steelbook after being buried in the Columbia Classics Vol. 4 box set. The steelbook art was called bad, and the $46 USD Walmart price caused widespread pushback. People bought it anyway because it's Fincher. PleasRewind and pop.market had it for around $27-32 USD on sale. People are now asking for Gone Girl and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

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

dir. Cecil B. DeMille

Still coming up in Easter and Passover context. Someone rewatched it ahead of their Ben-Hur collector's edition arriving and the comments went to Spartacus comparisons. The 4K is A-Tier.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. James Cameron

Warner 40th Anniversary 4K with Dolby Vision and Atmos, scanned from the original negative. Collectors are split on the AI enhancement tools Cameron used in the transfer, with some calling it a revelation and others wanting the grain back. The mono track is worth trying after the Atmos mix.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Waggner

After his brother's death, Larry Talbot returns home to his father and the family estate. Events soon take a turn for the worse when Larry is bitten by a werewolf.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. James Cameron

The 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition showed up at Deep Discount for $12 USD. It retails around $100 USD. Someone bought it to get free shipping on Crawl. The transfer is C-tier Cameron but the collector's packaging at that price is hard to argue with.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Paramount Presents 4K with a steelbook that Amazon accidentally priced at $13.99 during a preorder glitch. The C-Tier rating comes from the original Blu-ray transfer, which collectors called an abomination. The 4K corrected the color timing and Grace Kelly's Riviera wardrobe finally looks right. This is the one Hitchcock 4K not from Universal.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Robert Mulligan

Scout Finch, 6, and her older brother Jem live in sleepy Maycomb, Alabama, spending much of their time with their friend Dill and spying on their reclusive and mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. When Atticus, their widowed father and a respected lawyer, defends a black man named Tom Robinson against fabricated rape charges, the trial and tangent events expose the children to evils of racism and stereotyping.

Universal Pictures · 60th Anniversary Edition

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Part of the Hitchcock Classics Collection Volume 3 alongside Rope, Topaz, Frenzy, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in a Cold War thriller that Hitchcock considered a misfire, though the East Berlin scenes have a visual weight that the 4K transfer brings out. Most collectors buy this inside the box set for $18-24 USD on Gruv sales.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they're at the center of a dark and sinister event.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
