I was wondering what people think is the best 80's sony catalog title in terms of pq/aq on UHD, from the 90's it looks like Few Good Men gets the most praise but for the 80's I haven't seen a consensus on 1 title and with Stand by me coming out this week we have a new contender. So our choices are

Ghostbusters 1 or 2
Christine
Natural
Karate Kid
Stand By Me
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Glory

For me its either Karate Kid or Labyrinth. What's yours??

For me it's either stand by me or dark crystal though I haven't seen Glory yet....

P.a I've met Lucy Pinder and she is even better looking in the flesh!!

brainofj72 · 08-28-2019, 08:59 PM

Ghostbusters II for me. PQ still makes my jaw drop.

trespoochies · 08-28-2019, 09:04 PM

The Dark Crystal, but overall 80's regardless of studio is Blade Runner.

LoSouL · 08-28-2019, 09:06 PM

Of what I own, I might say Christine, then Dark Crystal.

Christine is so clear it almost looks like high framerate clarity at times. Dark Crystal is a million times better than the previous BD I have, and the difference is really apparent even with the new remastered BD that comes with it.

sapiendut · 08-28-2019, 09:17 PM

Paniiiiiiiiiiiicccc !!!!!!!!!!

TXMoviebuff77 · 08-28-2019, 09:19 PM

Definitely Ghostbusters I & II although two does look better.

Wes_k089 · 08-28-2019, 09:24 PM

The Dark Crystal looked phenomenal but I also haven't seen Glory yet (though I own it)

blubertt · 08-28-2019, 09:31 PM

I had never heard of Lucy Pinder so I looked her up and whoa! She is awesome

brainofj72 · 08-28-2019, 10:09 PM

Who’s panicking?

sapiendut · 08-28-2019, 10:20 PM

Blade Runner looks insane on UHD. Easily one of the best if not the best classic film transfer.

Funny, I’d rank it near the bottom of “classic film transfers” on UHD. It’s fine, but underwhelming, and definitely not without issues. Certainly has nothing on any of these Sony titles, IMO.

KubrickKurasawa · 08-28-2019, 11:46 PM

I would think Cristine and then Blade Runner but only own the BluRays, and upscale them they look fantastic! I can only image they look better on a 4k disc but Im content for now.

probably Karate Kid

ghostbusters is pretty good too they certainly show lots more detail than blu-ray

Labyrinth is good but Karate Kid really shows tons more details than the blu-ray and looks good

(just going by screencaps, Glory was hard to tell from the blu-ray and CHristine didn't appear to show much more either)

BobbyMcGee · 08-29-2019, 02:30 AM

A lot of standouts but my favorite is:

A Few Good Men

Looks fantastic IMO.

But that's not an 80's movie. It came out in 1992.

Blade Runner is a Warner Brothers movie.

imsounoriginal · 08-29-2019, 02:43 AM

I think I've only seen Ghostbusters 1. At least from the list in the OP.

It looks great though.
