Courtroom movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Otto Preminger
S-Tier 4K. Otto Preminger's courtroom drama. The black-and-white photography with all those close-ups of faces gains resolution.
Sony 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.

dir. Bruce Beresford
A-Tier 4K. A late-90s Ashley Judd thriller that nobody was clamoring for in 4K, and the disc exists in a fairly quiet corner of the catalog.

A-Tier 4K. StudioCanal's Dolby Vision pass pulled more out of the film than anyone expected for a 90s catalog title.
dir. Gregory Hoblit
C-Tier Paramount 4K. Edward Norton's debut, and people feel he should have won the Oscar over Cuba Gooding Jr. for Jerry Maguire. People are still waiting on Paramount to do Chinatown in 4K.
