I am so happy that you have the *“Boss Level”* 4K UHD BluRay too! Such a great release for a great modern action film. I am also checking in on Germany’s upcoming releases as they tend to to get to get a quite few many that Australia (my native country), U.S., and U.K. don’t get.
James, I really enjoyed all of your reviews this year. Even the videos of movies that I had no intention of adding to my collection. I just love you knowledge and passion. You convinced me to upgrade to The Great Escape, Singin In The Rain, Some Like It Hot and The Apartment. I checked out your older videod and Howards End. It was a must have. Love your work.
My favorite release of the year is Star Trek The Motion Picture Director’s Edition in 4K UHD. Many people said that this edition would never be released in HD because the Director’s Cut DVD had been done with the new special effects in standard definition and the resources would never be expended to redo the visuals in HD. There is a very interesting backstory of how the Director’s edition was remade with 4K visual effects, including the discovery of an old hard drive from years ago with higher quality visual effects in HD.
@@ZulcanPrime Probably the best thing to do for anyone who likes the Star Trek 1-6 movies with the original cast is to buy the 4K box set (on sale for under $100) because you get the theatrical editions of all 6 movies in 4K and you also get the Director's editions for 1,2, and 6. Plus you get an enormous amount of audio commentary tracks and text commentaries and other special features.This is the box set of the year in physical media, no doubt about it!
A very good list James. I am going to buy Robocop set and all the rest of the Star Trek movies in 4K. I already bought STTMP Definitive Edition from the UK because they never released it in Australia.
🥰Thanks I am glad you love my videos! What was your favorite 4K UHD from my list of titles I covered? Also were there any 4K’s that I talked about in this video that your excited for & wanting to buy & watch now? I really appreciate your great comments of support!👍😉
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I picked up “the offer” the other day. Really like this list. I liked “boss level” too. Have the foreign version, and now really want the 4K. Enjoyed cop shop too. I’ll give “running man” another shot. Haven’t seen it in years. And drooling over “Robinhood “4k.
It was definitely an amazing 🤩 4K restoration & release, it definitely surprised me how it turned out & how good it really looked! What version of Robin Hood 4K UHD set did you buy?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I bought both because I have those thin steelbook wall shelf rails to feature covers, and bought the box set based on your review. Great job as usual! Now onto buying some of the other films in your recommendations list with your affiliate links!
@@warpathh Sweet! Thanks for your support! 🥰 What other titles are you referring to that your thinking of buying now from this video? Also did you already have the Robin Hood Limited Edition 4K Arrow Video set & now you bought a 2nd one?
@@jeremyteal It’s just an error on their website not sure why but it also still shows the correct Robin Hood Prince of Thieves Limited Edition 4K set to order & buy in the photos too lol!!! 🤷♂️
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it! I always struggle deciding what’s my favorites with these type of videos especially with how many amazing 4K release we got this year lol!!!! 😜 Frighteners was a huge exciting surprise 4K release for sure! Was there any 4K’s I talked about in this video that you haven’t seen or owned yet?
You are 💯 right about The Godfather it’s an excellent 4K UHD release! I did consider Drive but I have a more nostalgic attachment to some of the other movies in my list that got some amazing 4K restorations & releases! But Drive was a great 4K release & I could have talked all day about hundreds of amazing releases we got this year! WOW it’s been a great year for 4K UHD releases! Is there any 4K titles your looking forward to for next year? Thanks for your comments!🤟
Idk I don’t really want a hardback novel with my movies hahaha. I just got the regular. I’m just not that big into the movie. Prefer Walter hill’s “the driver” which just got a 4k steelbook in the UK. My favorites? The two Quentin Tarantinos… army of darkness 4k steelbook really impressed me. As did the fright night 4k steelbook. There was a TON of amazing releases this year. Kino Lorber’s In Bruges and paths of glory…
Second Sight is one of the top 3 boutique labels out there! Consistently awesome releases, and being true lovers of cinema, really shines through with their end product….
Thanks for another great video and for all of the hard work that you put into making all of your videos. I love the information you provide for each release and always look forward to what you will be sharing. Thanks again and hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.
👍Thanks this is great to hear! What 4K UHD titles from this video are you excited for & haven’t seen yet & what 4K titles have you gotten & enjoyed from this video? I hope you & your family have a merry 🎄Christmas too!
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I actually haven't got a 4K player yet. Hopefully this next year. I have started picking up a few of the 4K discs whenever I can and just watching the blu-ray for now.
Fright night, the green mile, the shawshshank redemption, casabanca and pulp fiction all would have made my top 10. I would agree with your list on the God father triogy and star trek movies both being 1 and 2. I dont watch or buy any movies made after the 90's so top gun maverick i have not seen or bought and to be honest i have never even seen or bought the original top gun.
I really liked this video. You did an amazing job. I also loved most of your favorite picks, but my overall favorites are Robin Hood and Hurt Locker. Both are such enjoyable movies. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for your great comments! I agree both those movies are great 4K releases & were very surprising upgrades that were overlooked by most! 😉 🥰I have a lot of nostalgia for the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves so it was a great feeling getting to revisit it & see it in such a wonderful 4K restoration in Arrows Limited Edition 4K UltraHD set! Thanks for your continued support!🤟
I've been meaning to pick up hurt locker. Awesome film! Now that I post this I forget it was very limited and is a bit out of my price range. DOH! And let me say I like your alternative list, there are definitely some movies here I have never seen and should check out!
I appreciate your nice comment! We’re there any of these titles you haven’t seen on 4K yet? Also did you see my final hidden 4K UHD title after The Godfather at the end of this video?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia boss level and the frighteners. And yes I watched the whole video. Just found your channel last night and I just subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your videos. Happy holidays
Great list! You had some outstanding releases included here! All great transfers for those I’ve seen (I have most of them). Some interesting and well thought out picks though! Great video!
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia If you're referring to the Pirates import, yeah I did see that... Not one I'm particularly interested in as a fairly casual fan of the franchise,. But good to know the sequels faired better than the original on 4K.
Interesting list. My top 10 list would probably include a few of those, like Running Man, Robocop and the Frighteners. But I'd also have some different choices. I'm quite fond of my Arrow True Romance deluxe limited steelbook edition U.S. release (although I believe that restoration came out during the previous year in the UK). Road House, Amityville Horror, Tenebrae, Reservoir Dogs, Event Horizon, No Escape, and Matrix Resurrections would probably all make my list of favorite 4K releases for the year.
Yah True Romance was ineligible & could not be included in this video due to it actually releasing the previous year by Arrow Video & it was not technically a new 4K release or 4K restoration for this year lol!!! But I sure did think 🤔about it lol!!!😂 I was quite surprised at how good the The Frighteners 4K was too, so it definitely deserved its place in this list! Have you gotten the new Robin Hood Prince of Thieves Limited Edition 4K UltraHD set yet? Also what 4K version of The Running Man did you get?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I have the new Paramount Running Man steel. Love it. No Robin Hood for me though... I'm not really a fan of that one (or even that genre).
@@TheOriginalFuzz Ok sweet, so you got the best 4K version of Running Man that I was covering in this video! I had a very hard time making this list because we have been blessed with soo many wonderful releases this year & I wanted to focus on highlighting some 4K release that are more unknown or overlooked! Was there any 4K UHD releases in this video that you don’t have yet that your excited to buy now?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia No not really. Most of the titles on your list I like are ones I already have (although I did buy the Frighteners recently based on the strength of your previous review, and I just got it this week). I mainly watched the video for entertainment, just to see how many titles in your top 10 might be ones I own. Although Boss Level might've piqued my interest a bit.😉 But I agree... we had an amazing year for 4K releases. I bought pretty much everything that came out this year that I was interested in. LOL
😍Thanks! You will love Top Gun Maverick when you get to see it! What titles from my 4K list were your favorites this year? I appreciate your nice comments!🤟
I thoroughly enjoyed both those releases but I only had 10 spots & because this is some of MY top alternative favorites on 4K those both didn’t make it in the Top 10, though I will say Fright Night & Lost Boys would have both been in it if I could have done a Top 15 list but those sadly just didn’t make my TOP 10 personal alternative favorites on 4K! Though It’s always difficult deciding & making these type of lists & videos because I have so many titles I really like & enjoy each year but it’s a combination of the image & sound quality, contents in each set, review scores, personal enjoyment of the films ETC. that combines to give me my final list. It’s never easy to decide & boy did we get so many amazing & outstanding releases on 4K this year!
🥰🎉Thanks so much for you SUPER THANKS support of this video, it means a lot to the creation of these videos! Yes, but you should definitely watch my in-depth analysis & review video of the Frighteners I answer everything you need to know about this 4K release: ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/UeOXldGtyls/v-deo.html
Agree with the majority of your list, some excellent picks. I would have added Dune (2021). IMO, an immediate reference Atmos disc. Absolutely amazing sound and picture quality.
Hmm I really need to hunt down that Frighteners box set, that looks really cool and I really like that movie. I'm also still yet to upgrade to the 4k Godfather trilogy so that's another one high on my list. I did however just receive the Star Trek TOS 4k box set though it's a little cheap looking....I think in hindsight I'd gave preferred to get the individual films with slips witn original poster art like the ones you showed in the video. They look much nicer. However I've bought this one now so I'll stick with it. At least I have all the films in 4k so really looking forward to revisiting those. And sorry, can't say I share your Halo enthusiasm. I'm sure the 4k looks nice and yes the show had some interesting things and looked reasonably good but personally I think they took it down some roads I wasn't overly enamored with and I thought they could have done a better job. Will I stick with it and check out season 2? Probably but if it doesn't improve to my tastes then I will most likely give it a miss post season 2 if it's not up to scratch for me personally. But...each to their own.
I was surprised by universal's 4 k release of the original Battlestar Galactica movie from 1978. I thought that they did a good job at the transfer. Sure the effects are indicative of it's time, but l thought it was an excellent purchase.
👍 Some great choices, but True Romance was eliminated from my list because it was 4K restored & released on 4K last year by Arrow Video so that made it ineligible for this years list! Also when I tested & analyzed the Childs Play 4K it had numerous issues with digital noise & blocking that’s especially noticeable in the beginning of the film with random spots later on through the film so it wasn’t a top tier 4K release for the year & it had some technical issues, though Childs Play 2 & 3 4Ks looked much better with not really as many or noticeable of issues, So that’s disappointingly why Childs Play 4K was eliminated too! The Batman was a great 4K release & one that was highly considered along with Dune!
I think Di$ney’s decision to not release the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, on 4K, have more to do with forcing Americans in particular, to subscribe to Di$ney+, than sales figures on the first film. Given The Disney track record of the last few years, there exists ZERO chance that I will be subscribing. The new films, have been abhorrent, the quality, and lack of physical releases (acquiring the Fox catalog, should be considered a crime against humanity,) equally bad. Bear in mind, that this is coming from a former Disney FANATIC, who can no longer defend a company who openly shows disdain for there very existence.
My top 3 4Ks are Lionsgate's RESERVOIR DOGS in Steelbook, Criterion's MALCOLM X, and the Arrow box set for TRUE ROMANCE. I'd really love to see stateside releases for all those others you mentioned. Especially DRIVE!
Great list James! It’s a shame that the first Pirates didn’t get a makeover on the box set. It’s still my favorite but it sounds like the one in that collection is still the same poor release. For that I’ll pass. I like the others enough, but if the first movie is still a train wreck, I’ll wait for a redo.
I don’t see anything here that would elicit a nasty response? Maybe for people that don’t listen to the whole video you could’ve named it my top 10 than the title is totally subjective and if they don’t agree with your list, they can just move on. Thanks for the video.
@@GamezGuru1 👎Just because you like to make up LIES, false drama & try to stir up issues & problems, doesn’t mean your lies & false opinions are something anyone cares to waste their time reading or that you should be trying to spread your lies & poison 😡 around on MY UA-cam Channel!☠️😵 ⛔️This is your only warning!⛔️
I want all the Pirate Films on 4k, but hate how the whole set is not available in the North America rating. Having one movie being overseas, although region free, would bug me.
One thing I noticed is that you didn’t include any of the new 4K’s that came out with the Sony Pictures Classics 30th Anniversary box set! Some of these are stunners!
I simply didn’t buy that set, so it’s not something I have reviewed, there simply wasn’t enough titles I was interested in or would actually watch out of that set! I didn’t like a lot of the movie selections in that set either, so I couldn’t justify spending the money after all the items I have already bought this year & reviewed!
I was a bit disappointed in the Star Treks, tbh. Clarity/Sharpness on the first few films was some of the worst I've seen in a 4K release. Overall restoration work was good. HDR was good. New color grading was good. Effects upgrades were good. Idk it just didn't feel like I was watching 4K, tbh.
I would like to have "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" on 4K, but the extended Blu-ray will not play in the UK. Am waiting for the Dollar Trilogy to be released in the UK. These American-only releases are frustrating!
Hi James, as far you know, are The pirates of the Caribbean transfers that are coming out in the new steel book collection, the same as the Australian release? Just wanted to know should I save the money and get a regular release from your link. Since they’re most likely won’t be any special features in it, as long as it’s the same transfers that you are recommending here? Thanks

I'm quite fond of my Arrow True Romance deluxe limited steelbook edition U.S. release (although I believe that restoration came out during the previous year in the UK). Road House, Amityville Horror, Tenebrae, Reservoir Dogs, Event Horizon, No Escape, and Matrix Resurrections would probably all make my list of favorite 4K releases for the year.
Yah True Romance was ineligible & could not be included in this video due to it actually releasing the previous year by Arrow Video & it was not technically a new 4K release or 4K restoration for this year lol!!! But I sure did think 🤔about it lol!!!😂 I was quite surprised at how good the The Frighteners 4K was too, so it definitely deserved its place in this list!
Have you gotten the new Robin Hood Prince of Thieves Limited Edition 4K UltraHD set yet?
Also what 4K version of The Running Man did you get?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia I have the new Paramount Running Man steel. Love it. No Robin Hood for me though... I'm not really a fan of that one (or even that genre).
@@TheOriginalFuzz Ok sweet, so you got the best 4K version of Running Man that I was covering in this video! I had a very hard time making this list because we have been blessed with soo many wonderful releases this year & I wanted to focus on highlighting some 4K release that are more unknown or overlooked!
Was there any 4K UHD releases in this video that you don’t have yet that your excited to buy now?
@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia No not really. Most of the titles on your list I like are ones I already have (although I did buy the Frighteners recently based on the strength of your previous review, and I just got it this week). I mainly watched the video for entertainment, just to see how many titles in your top 10 might be ones I own. Although Boss Level might've piqued my interest a bit.😉
But I agree... we had an amazing year for 4K releases. I bought pretty much everything that came out this year that I was interested in. LOL
Awesome movies James I still need to watch Top Gun 2🆒🆒👍👍❄❄🤶🤶🎄🎄🧑🎄🧑🎄 and I love the original Robocop Happy holidays
😍Thanks! You will love Top Gun Maverick when you get to see it! What titles from my 4K list were your favorites this year?
I appreciate your nice comments!🤟
Fright Night and Lost Boys should get a shout out. Those were great for sure. Reservoir Dogs was very awesome as well
I thoroughly enjoyed both those releases but I only had 10 spots & because this is some of MY top alternative favorites on 4K those both didn’t make it in the Top 10, though I will say Fright Night & Lost Boys would have both been in it if I could have done a Top 15 list but those sadly just didn’t make my TOP 10 personal alternative favorites on 4K! Though It’s always difficult deciding & making these type of lists & videos because I have so many titles I really like & enjoy each year but it’s a combination of the image & sound quality, contents in each set, review scores, personal enjoyment of the films ETC. that combines to give me my final list. It’s never easy to decide & boy did we get so many amazing & outstanding releases on 4K this year!
Thanks!
Does the frighteners have English subtitles
🥰🎉Thanks so much for you SUPER THANKS support of this video, it means a lot to the creation of these videos! Yes, but you should definitely watch my in-depth analysis & review video of the Frighteners I answer everything you need to know about this 4K release:

@@InSearchofPhysicalMedia okay thanks
Just purchased it . Thanks again
@@filmfan7895 awesome, glad I was able to help you! Your going to love it, it’s one of the best surprise 4K releases of this year!
Agree with the majority of your list, some excellent picks. I would have added Dune (2021). IMO, an immediate reference Atmos disc. Absolutely amazing sound and picture quality.
Hmm I really need to hunt down that Frighteners box set, that looks really cool and I really like that movie. I'm also still yet to upgrade to the 4k Godfather trilogy so that's another one high on my list. I did however just receive the Star Trek TOS 4k box set though it's a little cheap looking....I think in hindsight I'd gave preferred to get the individual films with slips witn original poster art like the ones you showed in the video. They look much nicer. However I've bought this one now so I'll stick with it. At least I have all the films in 4k so really looking forward to revisiting those. And sorry, can't say I share your Halo enthusiasm. I'm sure the 4k looks nice and yes the show had some interesting things and looked reasonably good but personally I think they took it down some roads I wasn't overly enamored with and I thought they could have done a better job. Will I stick with it and check out season 2? Probably but if it doesn't improve to my tastes then I will most likely give it a miss post season 2 if it's not up to scratch for me personally. But...each to their own.
I was surprised by universal's 4 k release of the original Battlestar Galactica movie from 1978. I thought that they did a good job at the transfer. Sure the effects are indicative of it's time, but l thought it was an excellent purchase.
There's any standard The Frighteners version? I don't need that huge packing!!!
Ambulance, top gun, the Batman, true romance, child’s play, Frighteners, edge of tomorrow, dune, road warrior, everything everywhere all at once
👍 Some great choices, but True Romance was eliminated from my list because it was 4K restored & released on 4K last year by Arrow Video so that made it ineligible for this years list! Also when I tested & analyzed the Childs Play 4K it had numerous issues with digital noise & blocking that’s especially noticeable in the beginning of the film with random spots later on through the film so it wasn’t a top tier 4K release for the year & it had some technical issues, though Childs Play 2 & 3 4Ks looked much better with not really as many or noticeable of issues, So that’s disappointingly why Childs Play 4K was eliminated too! The Batman was a great 4K release & one that was highly considered along with Dune!
I think Di$ney’s decision to not release the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, on 4K, have more to do with forcing Americans in particular, to subscribe to Di$ney+, than sales figures on the first film. Given The Disney track record of the last few years, there exists ZERO chance that I will be subscribing. The new films, have been abhorrent, the quality, and lack of physical releases (acquiring the Fox catalog, should be considered a crime against humanity,) equally bad. Bear in mind, that this is coming from a former Disney FANATIC, who can no longer defend a company who openly shows disdain for there very existence.
Do you get the Brian Adams video on Robin Hood?
My top 3 4Ks are Lionsgate's RESERVOIR DOGS in Steelbook, Criterion's MALCOLM X, and the Arrow box set for TRUE ROMANCE. I'd really love to see stateside releases for all those others you mentioned. Especially DRIVE!
Great list James! It’s a shame that the first Pirates didn’t get a makeover on the box set. It’s still my favorite but it sounds like the one in that collection is still the same poor release. For that I’ll pass. I like the others enough, but if the first movie is still a train wreck, I’ll wait for a redo.
I don’t see anything here that would elicit a nasty response? Maybe for people that don’t listen to the whole video you could’ve named it my top 10 than the title is totally subjective and if they don’t agree with your list, they can just move on. Thanks for the video.
@@GamezGuru1 👎Just because you like to make up LIES, false drama & try to stir up issues & problems, doesn’t mean your lies & false opinions are something anyone cares to waste their time reading or that you should be trying to spread your lies & poison 😡 around on MY UA-cam Channel!☠️😵
⛔️This is your only warning!⛔️
I want all the Pirate Films on 4k, but hate how the whole set is not available in the North America rating. Having one movie being overseas, although region free, would bug me.
One thing I noticed is that you didn’t include any of the new 4K’s that came out with the Sony Pictures Classics 30th Anniversary box set! Some of these are stunners!
I simply didn’t buy that set, so it’s not something I have reviewed, there simply wasn’t enough titles I was interested in or would actually watch out of that set! I didn’t like a lot of the movie selections in that set either, so I couldn’t justify spending the money after all the items I have already bought this year & reviewed!
I was a bit disappointed in the Star Treks, tbh. Clarity/Sharpness on the first few films was some of the worst I've seen in a 4K release. Overall restoration work was good. HDR was good. New color grading was good. Effects upgrades were good. Idk it just didn't feel like I was watching 4K, tbh.
Your Robin Hood prince of thieves link goes to a dune listing
I was going to buy it, but the link doesn’t work
I would like to have "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" on 4K, but the extended Blu-ray will not play in the UK. Am waiting for the Dollar Trilogy to be released in the UK. These American-only releases are frustrating!
Link doesn't work with Robin Hood??
Never heard of boss level. Bro Halo was axe, I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole
I don't like your list.
Hi James, as far you know, are The pirates of the Caribbean transfers that are coming out in the new steel book collection, the same as the Australian release? Just wanted to know should I save the money and get a regular release from your link. Since they’re most likely won’t be any special features in it, as long as it’s the same transfers that you are recommending here? Thanks
