Top 50 Rated Films Ranked on UHD 4K

[LettuceJUMP]

Lots of topics discussing video/audio/transfers etc etc, but not about how many actually good films released on the format. Regardless of transfer/quality, what movies are good? Early on this was a problem, but we now have a respectable amount of movies on the format. I decided to put together a list of the highest rated films (by IMDB) that are currently released on 4K. So if there are people wondering where the good releases are...look no further! We could always edit this every few months as new releases and catalogue releases shift the rankings. I added on my own tiers based on the rankings. ENJOY and comment, how many do you have!?

Phantom Thread being in the bottom tier while The Prestige is at the top is appalling beyond reason.

[RustinCohle]

Sicario, to me, is probably around a 9.3.

[vincentric]

I'd give Phantom Thread and AFGM each around 9.5, to each their own. Lot of other rankings I disagree with in that list but will just leave it at that.

[BobbyMcGee]

I like to use the search review function for this website and sort by movie high to low. Filtered to only 4K.

It's the Christopher Nolan cult. The same thing happens with ratings on this site.

[bradnoyes]

Sicario deserves its own dang tier.

Not sure what he was asking.

I’m curious are your numbers 1 & 2 available in 4K.

Yeah they're foreign releases.

Ahhh, gotcha!

[LettuceJUMP]

Yes I agree, Sicario is underrated. Prestige might have been given too much love, but it is a personal favorite of my own. But yes, Nolan films tend to be given too much credit on the internet. They are very good films, but they are not all Godfather, Casablanca and Citizen Kane.

[Kubrick0730]

Top ten

1 Blade runner
2 Sicario
3 Blade Runner 2049
4 Zero dark thirty
5 A few Good Men
6 The Matrix
7 Pacific Rim
8 Starship Troopers
9 interstellar (IMAX sequences can’t be beat)
10 Saving Private Ryan

[Al_The_Strange]

From the list, here's what I own, and I stuck my own scores/ranking in there just for comparison's sake.

My Top 2

1. Blade Runner
2. The Reverent

[maverick22]

I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I wasn’t all that impressed with Sicario. It wasn’t bad at all or anything. I just don’t get all the hype.
