What is your favorite 4K disc released this year? (1 Viewer)

[Bryan^H]

I think I've bought more 4K discs this year than I ever have in one years time (over 30).
Hard to narrow down the best of the bunch but here are a few:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 had some great (punchy) HDR. looked great.

Fright Night looks better than it ever has on home video, and being one of my favorite horror films I'm glad to see it get the extravagant treatment.

Jurassic World Dominion had an utterly fantastic Dolby Vision grade, and the DTSX sounded better than most Atmos mixes I heard recently. I cannot wait to get the 3D version which should arrive in a couple weeks.

My favorite disc of the year is Pulp Fiction. A stellar release all the way around.

I would also say that Pulp Fiction is my favorite release this year

I'm really happy Paramount didn't screw the transfer up on this as some of their other recent titles

Yeah it was a tough choice, but Pulp Fiction just screams cinema from that disc. It really surprised me that it looked better than most movies released in theaters this year.

I guess you didn't watch it with the original audio track? Because I hear it's full of crackles, pops etc.

I did. The pops aren't as bad as "Real Genius", basically relegated to one scene. The 5.1 is fine.

the Atmos has a minor issue too but it doesn't bug me at all.

Atmos it is my preferred choice.

Great to see Pulp getting raves across all these threads. Hopefully it’s waiting for me in my P.O. box so I can watch it this afternoon.

Let us know what you think, Jeffrey. It really is a pleasing watch in 4k.

I did get it this morning. Looks to me the very first scene with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny has the same color timing of the previous BluRay, so I’m going to say nobody jerked around with the look. So far, it’s stunning looking.

Edit- I just watched the whole film, and I will sum up the video quality with just one word- perfection. Definitely a worthy selection for UHD of the year.

Another UHD I really thought looked nice is Bullet Train.

I, the Jury - disc of the year.

 

[Jeffrey D]

Watching Mystery Men UHD now. Wow. I really like what I’m seeing.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

Mine would be Giant or Singin' in the Rain. I think the latter benefitted more from the technology, but I'm pleased to have both in my collection

Night of the Iguana.

That's not a 4K disc.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

The Godfather Trilogy & Touch of Evil.

 

[JPCinema]

That's not a 4K disc.

Better than any 4K disc I've purchased this year

The BFI's Get Carter. Although it was a toss-up between that and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Kino Lorber's 4K UHD releases are just so fantastic. Haven't had time yet to go through the Sony Pictures Classics box or Columbia Classics Collection box. Shadow of a Doubt, from the Universal Hitchcock Classics Collection Vol 2, was also a highlight. So many amazing releases - I'm quite overwhelmed, at the moment!
