Haven't seen many '23 releases but Across the Spiderverse definitely deserves a mention. Insane visuals. Way of Water was also nice.

Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest 4K

This set is amazing from the picture and audio quality all the way down to the special features. Sure, the packaging wasn't great for some but I actually love it too. As I was going through the set for a review I thought to myself "This is what a blu-ray (or 4K set) looks like when the people working on it clearly love what they are doing" While this set is product to be sold, it doesn't feel like one. I haven't had this much fun going through a set like this in a long time.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
From Beyond
Barbarella

I have liked or even loved most of the discs I've gotten this year, but by far my top 5 in terms of pure upgrades from their blu-ray (and even DVD) counterparts are:

After Hours
Naked Lunch
The Prophecy (1-3)
Scream 3
eXistenZ

Of course I also got to knock a few others off of the top of my UHD wishlist like

To Live and Die in L.A.
Night of the Comet
From Beyond

[brainofj72]

As always, I still have a ton that I bought but haven't watched yet. But here are some standouts from what I've gotten to:



I would say The Ranown Westerns is the release of the year for me.

[dressedtokill]

Arrow crushed it this year, so many great discs, in no particular order:
Barbarella
The Warriors
Tremors 2: Aftershocks
Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment
Psycho set
Naked Lunch
Blood and Black Lace

Second Sight:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[DaylightsEnd]

It's been a stellar year for uhd. If we're also talking about how dramatically a new uhd has improved on prior blu ray releases of back catalog films, even those with compromised remaining elements in some cases, I'd throw in:


The Changeling (Second Sight)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974 (Second Sight, Carlotta)
The Wicker Man 1973 (StudioCanal)
Shiver of the Vampires (Powerhouse)
Fascination (Powerhouse)
Lips of Blood (Powerhouse)
Night of the Hunted (Powerhouse)
Pumpkinhead (Shout)
Burial Ground (88 Films)
Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment (Arrow)
Ringu (Arrow)
From Beyond (VS)
eXistenZ (VS)
Training Day (WB)
The Burning (Shout)
My Bloody Valentine (Shout)
Phantasm (Plaion)
Ronin
Jaws 2
The Dead Pit (Dark Force)
Bride of Chucky (Shout)

[Amiibro121]

A lot of great looking stuff this year but bride of chucky and across the spider-verse particularly wowed me the most, top 10 discs I've seen from the entire format.

12 angry men, cinderella, lighthouse, tmnt: mutant mayhem, and from beyond look gorgeous too.
