Wind River(2017)

dir. Taylor Sheridan

A-Tier

Lionsgate put this on 4K only as a Walmart exclusive steelbook in September 2024, never pressing a wide retail edition. Dolby Vision and a new Atmos mix on a 2K DI upscale, with an A-Tier video score. Collectors have been finding it on Walmart clearance shelves for $26, which beats paying secondary market prices for the scarce steel.

Second Sight 4K of the 1997 Norwegian original, not the Nolan remake. The thread noticed immediately and several people pointed out this is the superior film. 'Second Sight be killing my import budget.'

Insomnia(2002)

7.0/10

dir. Christopher Nolan

May 25, 2026

Warner 4K. Nolan's remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller with Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank. Often overlooked between Memento and Batman Begins, and the Alaska photography benefits from HDR in the perpetual daylight sequences. Collectors who buy the Dark Knight trilogy usually pick this up to complete the early Nolan set.
