Warner Home Video

4K movies where Warner Home Video is the community-recommended best release.

The Goonies(1985)

dir. Richard Donner

The 4K transfer jumps off the screen according to people watching it this week. A comfort pick that lands in haul posts year after year for the right reasons.

Singin' in the Rain(1952)

8.1/10

dir. Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen

S-Tier

Warner's S-Tier 4K in Technicolor is the draw. Best Buy had the steelbook, which appears to have gone OOP since neither the standard nor steelbook are easy to find online now. Minimal collector discussion beyond the purchase announcement, which usually means people bought it without needing to debate it. The Technicolor presentation in HDR is what makes this disc worth owning over streaming.

Unforgiven(1992)

7.9/10

dir. Clint Eastwood

S-Tier

Warner S-Tier 4K. The best-looking Eastwood western on disc and the one people agree earned its S-Tier. A reliable haul post staple.

dir. Martin Scorsese

A-Tier

Rebel Without a Cause(1955)

7.5/10

dir. Nicholas Ray

A-Tier

Warner's 4K steelbook got mixed reactions on the artwork. Collectors wanted classic poster designs instead of the modern illustrated look. The disc itself rated well, and the standalone 4K arrived alongside Cool Hand Luke and The Maltese Falcon as part of Warner's classic catalog push.

The Maltese Falcon(1941)

7.7/10

dir. John Huston

The Shawshank Redemption(1994)

8.7/10

dir. Frank Darabont

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. People who thought it looked flat on DVD and Blu-ray say the 4K is the first version that really looks right. The Film Vault steelbook has nice artwork and gets talked about a lot. More of a film that just looks like film for the first time on home video than a flashy demo disc.

The Wizard of Oz(1939)

7.6/10

dir. Victor Fleming

A-Tier

The 4K scan brought back details the Blu-ray was flattening, particularly in the Technicolor sequences and the munchkin village. Gruv has the steelbook at $15 USD, and at that price it's hard to justify not owning a copy.
