Stephen Spielberg now has the most 4K UHD releases, as a director. The Color Purple was one of his films I have appreciated more and more, as I get older. It came in his commercial "dry spell", between E.T. and Jurassic Park and was such a change of direction, after Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, that few people appreciated it then.

THE COLOR PURPLE is my favorite Spielberg film.

...and that is a pick from a very long list of his accomplishments

With the new film coming out in December, this is perfect timing from Warner.
