[@dafunken]

How Alien didn’t make the cut is beyond me. That 4K is incredible, and IMO head and shoulders above Jaws, for example. To this day it’s the most impressive transfer I’ve seen, and the movie is a masterpiece.

[@stonesfan285]

I agree, I really liked that one. Jaws is good too. Here's the thing though - neither of the Blu-rays of those were bad either.

[@TheKrazyKat89]

100% agree with your Lawrence of Arabia recommendation, I watched it in 4K recently and my jaw was on the floor. One of the best looking movies I've ever seen.

[@c__cross]

I picked that up but have not had a chance to see it all yet. I did preview it a bit and it looks good.

[@brunomachado7279]

Even the superbit DVD of Lawrence of Arabia is stunning for a DVD. The blu ray is also spectacular.

[@psychomoth06]

Blade Runner on 4K is amazing, and one of the few where the sound blew me away just as much as the visuals. The plethora of aerial shots with ships flying really made the most of my Dolby atmos system!

[@willschulte800]

I use this disc as my reference. I was dialing in my system and that opening shot of the city with the towers shoot fire made the sub rumbled. My upstairs neighbor came down to see what was going on and we ended up watching the whole film together.

[@scotttild]

I love Blade Runner but was disappointed they didn’t include all the other versions with the 4k. I like the commentary that decker gives.

Ghoulies 2 is out on 4K, and Jaws 2. I'm still waiting for Shout Factory to put Garbage Pail Kids The Movie out on 4K, it's so bad but fun, but still painfully bad.

[@james87367]

Some great recommendations. I would also add The Thing. Incredible 4k.

[@AlSumait]

I would recommend these 10 4Ks (in no particular order): 1. Back to the Future trilogy 2. Blade Runner 3. The Matrix trilogy 4. Django 5. Misery 6. Lawrence of Arabia 7. Gladiator 8. Braveheart 9. Spiderman trilogy 10. Top Gun: Maverick

[@bretttheillustrator]

I suggest also Alien, The Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, and AKIRA to name a few.

[@erikwagonblott3334]

The Matrix was my first DVD, my first Blu-ray, and my first 4K. One of my forever favorite movies and an excellent picture and sound demo.

[@adacPROKYON]

Your very brief mention of "Singing in the Rain" deserves a good look as well. For a 70+ year old movie, the restored 4K both looks and sounds incredible.

[@dmichaelelkins1]

Hey Jeff, I never see any KZbinrs ever mention any of the BBC Earth documentaries. They are great for showing off your 4k system.

[@randallflagg7637]

Are you referring to the David Attenborough ones? I'm pretty sure Jeff way pre covid time has spotlighted them before which is why I got mine. I have Planet Earth 2, Blue Planet 2, Seven Worlds One Planet and Dynasties. The 2 issues is David himself ruining it with the guilt tripping climate change preachy stuff he sprinkles in after such an amazing presentation. Plus they're on the more pricey side of things on the format, BBC being greedy for sure. It's off putting because you could get a Boutique of a movie you know you love for a similar price point.

[@dmichaelelkins1]

@@randallflagg7637 Yeah, those are what I meant. You just seldom hear them featured in any KZbinrs’ “Films You Must Own” even though in my opinion they are some of the best looking ones in my collection. I pretty much have all of the ones issued on 4k. I thought about it while watching Frozen Planet II today.

Good recommendations... the only slight criticism I have is referring to The Red Shoes as a musical. Even though this is a backstage drama that includes a lengthy ballet sequence that runs somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes, you don't see characters breaking into song and dance throughout. Anyway, like I said, it's a minor criticism. I have many of these on 4K, and your list is spot on!

[@AlecS543]

Great list. You inspired me to watch the 4K Jaws that's been sitting on my shelf for a long time (I've seen it many times on other media). It was the first movie I watched on my new TV and it was really great on 4K. One suggestion: I think you've mentioned before how great old black & white movies look on 4K. I don't think you had any on your list. Two that I think would be good additions are Paths of Glory or (if you're overloaded with Kubrick movies) Double Indemnity.

Another two vintage movies which looks amazing on 4k are The Ten Commandments and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

I own three of those movies on 4K, Jaws, The Shining, and Interstellar. I would also recommend newcomers to the format like Joker, The Dark Knight, and Top Gun Maverick on 4K.

[@randallflagg7637]

Joker was specifically made with Dolby Vision in mind, definitely reference quality. I saw it twice in cinema and the home physical 4K release blows it out of the water imo. I only just recently watched my Top Gun Maverick, holy crap, looks and sounds phenomenal. The original in 4K also deserves a mention, another one that at times looks way more recently made than it is.

[@Markimark151]

@@randallflagg7637 Joker is really great, it’s the most replayed 4K disc movie, because I love the scenes! It’s one of the reasons I bought Joker, I usually don’t buy 4K blu rays unless the movie has replay value and utilizes my big Sony 4K TV!

Nice list. But Massively disagree that BR2049 has some of the “best HDR out there”. IMO it’s a perfect example of one of the worst uses of HDR: -I think it barely goes over 200nits. -WCG is nonexistent + doesn’t stretch into bt2020. -Deakins the DP is also notorious for being against HDR. It’s not far from KnivesOut - which was basically identical to its SDR Blu and mastered in an HDR container. BR2049 had loads of potential for great HDR but really fell short.

[@niktorifio]

The HDTV Test KZbin channel has a video analysing the HDR on blade runner 2049 and the movie basically doesn't have any HDR.

My friend, let me tell you something. 4K Blu-ray and 4K TV? Absolute garbage. 1080p Blu-ray and 1080p TV are the real deal. Sure, 4K might have more pixels, but when it comes to picture quality and overall experience, 1080p is the way to go. Sorry buddy, but 4K just isn't worth the hype. Keep it classic with 1080p. Trust me, you won't regret it.

@@Amazon-34079 a little too late on that my friend. I’ve owned 4K Blu rays for 7 years. I’ve owned Blu rays for than 10 years. I love them both. It comes down to preference. I don’t always enjoy the pricing in 4Ks I admit, but I enjoy them so much. Enjoy ur Blu rays tho :)

[@markmitchell5220]

I own every one of them except Glory, which I will rectify. I can't argue with your picks at all, wonderful. 🍻

'The Red Shoes' actually isn't a musical, though it does have some beautiful ballet sequences. Essential film of course, as you say, which does look incredible on that Criterion 4K.

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend Tremors 4k release that Arrow Video put out. It looks amazing and the desert/mountain landscape of Perfection is incredible.

Hey, should I go out of my way to to get a Dolby Vision player? I’ve seen comparisons and I honestly think DV makes the picture too dark. But I hear people talk about it like it’s essential. Personally when I see a comparison I’m like meh.

Thanks Jeff. Do you think that next year for the 50th anniversary of Jaws that Universal will release a big time collectors edition of the film. This is one of my favorites too and I really would like to go all out for it in 2025. 😊

[@kfraney94]

I'd also add Coraline, The Godfather, and the original Indiana Jones trilogy. All of those are a significant upgrades from their respective Blu Rays

I just ordered Reservoir Dogs 4K UHD version. My first 4K UHD disc. How's it?

[@randallflagg7637]

Lemme guess, Amazon sale going for it right now? A review I read there swayed me, reckoning it does see a great upgrade. The price isn't bad for a "notable named" director. Mines still making its way to me.

[@Rudy-in9tv]

Thanks for your review. I agree, Jaws is the greatest movie of all time.

That new crimson peak 4k blew me away how good it looked

I have Jaws on 4k, Blade Runner, all the newer Batman movies back to the Dark Knight movies, a couple of war movies, but not Apocalypse Now. I guess that's next on the list!

[@MikeyMarx]

The shining is one of my fav 4ks

[@catfishhornet]

I haven't seen the final cut of Blade Runner yet, but i have seen the director's cut several times. Not taking into account with 4k quality vs blu ray quality, what is the better cut in your opinion?

[@Capoeiraplaya22]

Agreed with these movies : I would also say : Alien - the first one - Masterclass in restoration

[@user-ve1lz9dm6j]

Hello Jeff, I have Always loved your channel. I seldom say or ask you anything but here it goes... Do you have any news on ARGYLLE blue Ray or 4k ? Can we get our hopes up or we are wasting our time because it was a flop ?! Thank you Jeff.

[@quentintickler4615]

I think, similarly to Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon, Argylle is unlikely to get a physical release because Apple TV+ is the exclusive streaming option to watch them at home as Apple Original Films.
