1975 on 4K UHD

dir. Stanley Kubrick

S-Tier Criterion 4K. Kubrick's three-hour period piece. The inside cover art is great. The candlelit scenes are a real test for any display and the HDR handles them well.

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 50th anniversary steelbook is coming in November 2025. WB was already considering this alongside Gravity, Dirty Harry, and The Searchers. The steelbook artwork was criticized for being incongruent with the film.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Norman Jewison

Shout Factory's S-Tier 4K of the original 1975 Rollerball. Thin collector discussion but the transfer quality speaks for itself. A good 70s dystopian sci-fi disc to have around.

Severin Films S-Tier 4K. Russ Meyer's over-the-top exploitation film got a proper release from Severin alongside Vixens and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens. The announcement drew real excitement from boutique collectors, and Amazon regional coupons have brought the prices down in some areas. Severin had to ship replacement discs for a pressing issue, but the corrected version is the one you want.

dir. Don Edmonds

Ilsa, a warden at a Nazi death camp that conducts experiments on prisoners, strives to prove that women can withstand more pain and suffering than men, and therefore should be allowed to fight on the frontlines.

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. Peter Weir

Sold out during the Criterion 24-hour flash sale in March 2026. Peter Weir's 4K on Criterion, and still one of the better transfers in the boutique catalog.

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. Lee Frost

Dark Force #4 from June 2023, native 4K from a fresh scan with HDR10 and a 300-copy limited slipcover. Lee Frost's 1975 blaxploitation is the kind of grindhouse title that usually gets a soft 2K master, so the native 4K route is the surprise. The slipcover edition is gone, the bare disc is what Dark Force is moving now.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Clint Eastwood

Kino Lorber B-Tier 4K, part of their Eastwood run with Two Mules for Sister Sara and Play Misty for Me. The alpine mountain photography does most of the work for a film that was middling even in 1975.

dir. Bill Rebane

Dark Force shipped The Giant Spider Invasion in December 2024. Bill Rebane's 1975 Wisconsin-shot creature feature, the kind of film MST3K kept alive for two decades. 4K UHD only, region-free, native 4K from a fresh scan. The grain structure is what was missing from every prior HD pass.

Dark Force Entertainment · 4K Ultra HD

dir. Sydney Pollack

The Kino Lorber 4K packs two commentary tracks, Sydney Pollack's 2001 talk and a historian track from 2023, plus a 59-minute Pollack career documentary on the Blu-ray. The French StudioCanal steelbook predates it by three years for anyone who wants a different shelf look.

dir. Blake Edwards

Kino Lorber 4K. Early impressions are positive, though some shots remain grainy due to the source material. The Henry Mancini score in lossless is the draw for Pink Panther fans.
