Those of you who are aware of my penchant for quality audio, will understand when I state that Universal's new Back to the Future 4k set is worth the price of admission (currently street at $42) for the Dolby Atmos alone.
I sampled the trilogy, and as expected, Universal has done a magnificent job of re-mastering these films to 4k, but the addition of Dolby Atmos, and it's overall affect on the sound stage knocks this release out of the park. Overall resolution is wonderfully rendered, along with a proper sheen of film grain. Colors are dead-on perfect.
Add to that the commensurate number of bonus features, including some major examples previously released, makes this a bargain at $14/film plus the films on Blu-ray with extras and yet another bonus disc.
They've thrown in everything except a toaster oven and a set of steak knives.
There are numerous films that register as "classic" cinema not because of any serious greatness, that hold a place in our hearts for pure visceral entertainment value. This is one such series.

Upgrade from Blu-ray – Absolutely!
