dir. Ringo Lam Ling-Tung
S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Ringo Lam's Hong Kong action film. Both Arrow and Shout Factory released versions.
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! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Edward Berger
Universal S-Tier 4K. The 4K transfer pulls out the red robes and production design in a way the theatrical presentation couldn't. The Catholic pageantry gets a lot of screen time and HDR makes every cardinal's vestment land differently.
dir. Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor
S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Jason Statham's over-the-top action sequel. The disc is as absurd as the film.
dir. Craig R. Baxley
S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dolph Lundgren sci-fi action from 1990.
dir. Todd Haynes
S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Todd Haynes' legal drama with Mark Ruffalo. Arrow's release.

S-Tier 4K from 20th Century Studios. The steelbook and the Christmas movie debate come up every single time. The Zavvi steelbook in particular gets a lot of love.

S-Tier Capelight Pictures 4K. Van Damme plays twins. Capelight has the German 4K.

BFI · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. John Woo
S-Tier Universal 4K. Van Damme directed by John Woo in Louisiana. The action sequences work well in HDR.
dir. Russell Mulcahy
40th Anniversary Collector's Edition 4K announced for June in the UK. Early looks suggest it's a repackage of the existing release with identical extras, just new physical packaging. The video transfer is apparently strong but the audio has problems, with one owner saying it sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a trash can.
StudioCanal / Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Jonathan Darby
Jackson and Helen are in love and about to have their first child when they move in with Jackson's mother, Martha, in order to take care of the family estate. But all is not well in this household. Martha is jealous of her son's affection for Helen, and, despite her Southern smile, she's starting to act strangely. As Helen tries to create a happy home life, Martha attempts to divide the family so that Jackson will become hers alone.
dir. Quentin Tarantino
S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Tarantino's most underrated film. He personally signed off on the 4K restoration and vetoed an earlier release because it wasn't good enough, which tells you how much he cares about this one. Comparison shots show a real upgrade from the Blu-ray. Imprint also put out an Australian release at their usual eyebrow-raising price.
dir. Chad Stahelski
S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. The best-looking disc in the John Wick series. The location cinematography across New York, Wadi Rum, France, Germany, and Japan is where HDR really pays off. Multiple steelbook exclusives dropped from different retailers with different artwork, and collectors were buying all of them.
dir. Todd Phillips
S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Phoenix's Joker on a well-regarded disc. Someone made custom box art that looks like Saul Bass designed it, which got more attention than the official packaging. The film's 4K got caught up in the broader conversation about steelbook scarcity and artificial demand after several releases started selling out immediately.
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! Factory
dir. David Worth, Mark DiSalle
S-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Van Damme in Thailand, kicking bamboo trees and passing out from pain. The 4K finally includes the international cut on disc, which was a big deal for fans who'd been stuck with the US theatrical version. The steelbook packaging got specific compliments, and Bloodsport fans immediately started asking about their turn.
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. Jean-Pierre Melville
After carrying out a flawlessly planned hit, Jef Costello, a contract killer with samurai instincts, finds himself caught between a persistent police investigator and a ruthless employer, and not even his armor of fedora and trench coat can protect him.
dir. Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes
S-Tier Criterion 4K. The Hughes Brothers' film about growing up in Watts. Criterion's announcement was part of a wave of Black cinema releases alongside Deep Cover and the Melvin Van Peebles set. The cover art was praised as really good. Vantiva manufacturing QC issues have been affecting Criterion discs, with scratched new discs being reported across multiple titles.
dir. Brad Bird
S-Tier Paramount 4K. Brad Bird's Mission Impossible entry with the Burj Khalifa sequence. The steelbook dropped to $14.89 USD on sale. People wish the IMAX aspect ratio expanded on the disc. Not a lot of dedicated discussion for this specific entry, though the MI franchise as a whole is well-collected.
Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Dev Patel
S-Tier Universal 4K. Dev Patel's action film, and Universal's UK release had three banners across the top of the cover, which looked terrible. One of the more creative recent action films on disc.
dir. Abel Ferrara
After being attacked and raped twice in one day, a timid, mute seamstress becomes a violent agent of revenge for wronged women.
dir. Sidney Lumet
S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Lumet's 1974 Agatha Christie all-star mystery, with Kino Lorber handling the US release. The 4K scores a 4.5 overall, and people were excited about more Lumet on the format. The US version was out of print and going for inflated prices before the new release.
dir. Peter Hyams
S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Peter Hyams' 1990 thriller with Gene Hackman on a train. No relevant collector discussion around the 4K.
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.
dir. Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
S-Tier Criterion 4K. The Coens' best film by popular vote, and the 4K announcement generated enormous excitement. The scan comes in at 88.7 GB, which is enormous. Someone spotted a crew member hiding in the bushes during the river scene, which started a whole thing. People are waiting on There Will Be Blood and Assassination of Jesse James to complete the 2007 western trio.
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.
S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. Park Chan-wook's revenge film, scoring 4.5 overall. People keep asking for a Vengeance Trilogy set in Region A. Arrow has done a Deluxe Ultra Limited Edition with a 68-page book and 10+ hours of bonus material. A Zavvi steelbook went up quickly and Arrow was criticized for the packaging quality again. People want Criterion to do it, but Arrow has the rights and is actively releasing premium editions.
S-Tier Sony 4K. Tarantino's Hollywood love letter with Pitt and DiCaprio. The Netflix 4K stream vs. Blu-ray comparison went viral, showing how much streaming compresses the image. The Best Buy exclusive steelbook is a collector's item. Someone made custom poster art and inserts that look professional. Tarantino fans are essentially confirmed to never get a Criterion release of any of his films.
dir. Carl Franklin
S-Tier Criterion 4K. Carl Franklin's crime film, frequently paired with Lone Star as a recommendation. People describe it as brutal where Lone Star is more of a tall tale. The Criterion disc scores 4.0 overall. People who discovered it through the Criterion sale are finding it's one of the better neo-noir films of the 90s.
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.
dir. Bong Joon Ho
S-Tier Artificial Eye 4K. Bong Joon Ho's Palme d'Or winner, and the French debossed steelbook is gorgeous. The B&W version is included, and most people picked it up specifically for that. The "ass" in the middle of the steelbook text was pointed out and now nobody can unsee it.
Artificial Eye · 4K + Blu-ray
S-Tier ICON 4K. Kathryn Bigelow's surf-heist film with Keanu and Swayze. The Best Buy steelbook is well-liked, and there's also a French Amazon import steelbook. One person blind-bought the 4K and it became one of their favorite action films.
ICON · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Stanley Tong Gwai-Lai
S-Tier 88 Films 4K. Jackie Chan's third Police Story with Michelle Yeoh. 88 Films released a standalone for people who already own the Criterion PS1-2 set. There are actually 8 films in the broader Police Story franchise, which surprises people.
88 Films
S-Tier Deltamac 4K with a 4.5 score. Tarantino's defining film, and the 4K announcement was met with enormous excitement. Someone ordered from Best Buy and received an unsealed copy with no disc inside, which became its own little saga. The steelbook front art was disliked while the back and inside were praised. Tarantino personally approved the transfer.
Deltamac · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Alfred Hitchcock
Reference quality transfer that people keep calling a system showcase. The courtyard detail jumps in 4K, and longtime fans say it feels like meeting old neighbors for the first time. Universal's Hitchcock 4K set is the way most people get it, and Gruv regularly discounts it to around $45 USD. Comments consistently call this one worth $50 USD on its own.
dir. Antony Hoffman
Arrow's Dolby Vision 4K is the reason to own this. The film itself splits people, half find it interesting, half find it forgettable, but the disc quality is not in question. Mission to Mars comparisons are inevitable and divisive. CGI does not hold up, which the HDR makes more obvious, not less.
The transfer confused people because the fine grain from Kodak 50D stock looks almost like digital noise reduction to untrained eyes. It is not. Same stock as Titanic, and both looked suspiciously clean in 4K. Once people understood the film stock, the consensus shifted to calling it the best Tarantino 4K, with Pulp Fiction second. The Manta Lab steelbook artwork reveal got massive engagement. StudioCanal's disc itself is S-Tier.
dir. René Clément
Plaion's S-Tier 4K with a Kino Lorber US release also incoming via Diabolik DVD. Charles Bronson in a René Clément French thriller. Zero Reddit discussion, which tracks for a 1970 Euro-thriller that most English-speaking collectors have never heard of. The disc exists for the people who already love it.
dir. Doug Liman
This is the original 1989 Swayze film, not the 2024 remake. Vinegar Syndrome's 4K from the original 35mm negative is the definitive version, and the BD-100 disc format means no compression compromises. Arrow also released their own version with different artwork that got criticism for being weaker than VS's cover. The VS edition runs $45 USD, which some people found steep for Road House, but the transfer quality is hard to argue with.
dir. Paul Verhoeven
Arrow's 4K transfer is called a reference disc for the format in collector circles. The grain structure is preserved, the practical effects are still effective, and the ED-209 stop-motion pops in a way it never did on Blu-ray. The 4K actually reveals too much for some people, like RoboCop's rubber chin guard and plastic armor textures. The original Arrow LE Blu-ray owners felt burned when the 4K came in identical packaging shortly after.
dir. John Frankenheimer
A briefcase with undisclosed contents – sought by Irish terrorists and the Russian mob – makes its way into criminals' hands. An Irish liaison assembles a squad of mercenaries, or 'ronin', and gives them the thorny task of recovering the case.
dir. Tom Tykwer
Sony locked this into the Sony Pictures Classics box set for over a year before finally releasing it standalone in July 2024. The wait frustrated people who only wanted this one film and didn't care about the rest of the set. The standalone disc is S-Tier and multiple collectors use it as a demo disc for showing people what 4K HDR looks like. The 25th anniversary theatrical re-release helped build demand.
Part of Universal's Hitchcock 4K rollout alongside Shadow of a Doubt and Rope. The black and white photography is preserved in its original 4:3 ratio. Underrated even among Hitchcock fans, with reviewers calling it vastly overlooked. The Statue of Liberty climax is the sequence everyone remembers.
dir. John Stockwell, Paulette Victor Lifton
When the rumored whereabouts of Osama bin Laden are revealed, the CIA readies a team of seasoned U.S. Navy SEALs for the mission of a lifetime. Despite inconclusive evidence that bin Laden is inside the compound, and ignoring the possible ramifications of an unannounced attack on Pakistani soil, the Pentagon orders the attack. The SEAL Team bands together to complete their mission of justice in a riveting final showdown.
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.
dir. James Hawes
After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action.

A romantic drifter gets caught between a corrupt tycoon and his voluptuous wife.
dir. Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
StudioCanal S-Tier 4K. Part of their restoration push and one of the Coens' more overlooked films. Hanks leaning into a cartoonish Southern gentleman is a strange performance that either works for you or doesn't.
The Limey follows Wilson, a tough English ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling Valentine and an army of L.A.'s toughest criminals, hoping to find clues and piece together what happened.

S-Tier from Radiance's Transmission sublabel, new 4K scan of the original camera negative with Dolby Vision. A massive upgrade over the old Severin Blu-ray, which had gone out of print and was fetching inflated prices on eBay for years. People who held off on the Severin are feeling vindicated. Peter O'Toole is completely unhinged in this and the production history behind the film is almost as wild as the movie itself. Region-free UHD disc, region B locked Blu-ray. Includes the original mono track and Severin's 5.1 remix, plus two commentary tracks.

Paramount's 2022 4K scored 4.5 on blu-ray.com with natural grain and a punchier audio mix than the old Blu-ray. Avoid the $11 USD Paramount 4K Preorders line on Amazon, which ships in DVD-sized cases with no special features and is cheaply produced on purpose. The Best Buy steelbook has better artwork if you want the premium version.

A-Tier Criterion 4K. Melville's heist film, with the final safe-cracking sequence being the showcase. Often described as a time capsule of 70s France that happens to also be a solid thriller.
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.
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.

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.

Warner 4K. Ben Wheatley took over directing from Jon Turteltaub for the sequel. The underwater VFX benefit from HDR but the film itself split audiences. Available cheap on sale and pairs with the original Meg 4K.
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.
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.

dir. Christopher McQuarrie
A-Tier Paramount 4K. McQuarrie's first MI entry. The Rogue Nation steelbook has been sitting at $5-6 USD for a while, which tells you where it sits in the franchise pecking order. Part of the matching steelbook set that collectors are building.
A-Tier Sony 4K. Luc Besson's assassin film with Anne Parillaud. Sony and StudioCanal both have steelbook versions, and the consensus is that StudioCanal's is the better package if you're region-free. The Sony version dropped the Spanish subtitles and audio track that StudioCanal kept.

dir. John Irvin
A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Arnold's underrated 1986 action film. The StudioCanal steelbook is nice-looking, and people keep asking for Commando, a T2 remaster, and more Arnold on 4K. The previous StudioCanal Blu-ray looked bad, so the 4K is a real step up.
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.
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.

Paramount released this as a 15th Anniversary 4K Steelbook in March 2022 and followed with a standard 4K edition in May 2023. The Steelbook is in the discount phase now, showing up on Amazon for $8 USD to $16 USD, though the $16 USD listing has a "frequently returned" warning so condition is hit or miss.
dir. Martin Scorsese
Paramount's A-Tier 4K is frequently one of the first discs new OLED owners buy. The $10.99 Paramount combo releases in DVD-sized cases generated heated debate because they strip special features and feel cheap, but at that price people grabbed them anyway. Scorsese citing I Walked with a Zombie as a major influence on this film is the kind of deep-cut connection that Criterion collectors appreciate. The steelbook is a frequent haul photo staple.

A-Tier 4K. The big question is whether the IMAX sequences from Catching Fire will ever make it onto a 4K disc. The current release doesn't include them, and the arena reveal is one of the best uses of the IMAX format. A new box set with Dolby Vision across all films showed up on Amazon France.

Lionsgate 4K with Dolby Vision and Atmos, released in 2019. The Best Buy exclusive steelbook got a strong reaction and sold well. This is the companion piece to Crank: High Voltage, which is S-Tier, and both are worth owning together.
dir. Mel Gibson
B-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Shot digitally on LED stages in Las Vegas, and the extra resolution makes the VFX backgrounds more obvious. Real location footage looks sharp, but the studio shots give it away. Bare-bones extras with just an 8-minute making-of.
dir. M. Night Shyamalan
Shyamalan's Unbreakable trilogy closer with a B-Tier transfer that's a step down from what the cinematography deserves. The film divides people but the disc sells steadily because Unbreakable and Split fans want the complete set.
dir. Babak Najafi
The only 4K release is a German trilogy boxset from Leonine Films, and the audio was actually downgraded from the original Blu-ray's DTS:X to standard DTS. The Target Blu-ray steelbook is OOP and goes for $40+ on eBay. Most people own this as part of the Has Fallen trilogy rather than on its own.
