Top 50 Rated Films Ranked on UHD 4K - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

jh901 · 05-31-2018, 04:52 PM

I have all but the 4K duds, yet to be released, and a few others I don't care for from the OP's list.

Might look into Warrior.

You're not alone, it's one of the most ridiculously overpraised movies of the last few years.

Top ten (as far as movie quality itself) currently on UHD for me would go something like -

Blade Runner
Unforgiven
Close Encounters
Goodfellas
Blade Runner 2049
Fury Road
Dredd
E.T.
Ghostbusters ('84)
Neon Demon

Have to really think about a full collection but I use Dark Tower as my 4K demo disk and it blows people away .

imsounoriginal · 05-31-2018, 10:42 PM

As it should. Dark Tower looks and sounds phenomenal.

ROSS.T.G. · 05-31-2018, 10:56 PM

DT is still one of the best discs out.

LettuceJUMP · 05-31-2018, 11:50 PM

Yes it is great demo material, but the movie itself Dark Tower was mediocre at best. It wasn't as bad as some critics said, but the movie is not a great or even very good film. Trying to pinpoint the best movies currently out on UHD, regardless of their A/V.

flyry · 05-31-2018, 11:59 PM

Ghostbusters 4th tier and Dark Knight Rises 2nd tier? LOL

LoSouL · 06-01-2018, 12:05 AM

My 10, for just favorite movies on the format so far:

Leon: The Professional
Dredd
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Terminator 2
Blade Runner
Starship Troopers
Die Hard
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Goodfellas
Bram Stoker's Dracula

4 of those could have gotten a lot better treatment.

imsounoriginal · 06-01-2018, 12:06 AM

lol I completely forgot T2 is on the format when I made my list, make of that what you will....

ncraft · 06-01-2018, 01:51 AM

My top 10:

1. Goodfellas
2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
3. Die Hard
4. The Matrix
5. Forrest Gump
6. Unforgiven
7. Blade Runner
8. Blade Runner 2049
9. Ghostbusters
10. The Dark Knight

newtonp01 · 06-01-2018, 01:52 AM

I'd say the top 10 on the format so far would be:

Blade Runner
Unforgiven
Gladiator
A Few Good Men
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Sicario
Apollo 13
E.T.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Watchmen (controversial, I know)

Not even counting other movies I love like Arrival, 3:10, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters, etc. I'm glad we have a good amount of great movies on the format now, I remember when I was considering buying Smurfs 2 to scratch the UHD itch.

Besides, T2, which are the other 3?

Definitely Dredd.

Hard to know what his other 2 are but it's definitely NOT Leon, The Revenant, Starship Troopers, Blade Runner, or CTHD. I think all the other movies he listed are really good, but I know a lot of people have issues with how Dracula was handled (particularly those opening subtitle scenes) so I'm guessing that aaaaaaaand

Yeah, Dredd like bradnoyes said. Bram Stoker's Dracula (good, but weak by Sony standards and a little inconsistent) and Goodfellas (great detail and color, but it really is too dark).

They could be top notch instead.

That would be in my top 10 if the Director's Cut was on UHD. I do like the Ultimate Edition, but it's the core movie I love most.

Villeneuve + Deakins

You couldn't be more wrong. You don't have to like it. Failure to appreciate it is another matter.

I appreciate their other collaborations, but not this one. After all the War on Drugs movies/TV shows over the last 15 years, Sicario adds nothing new. Some nice action sequences but that's about it.

I'll admit the sequel looks better.

But, but, but... it doesn't have Emily Blunt.

Couldn't stand her in the first one (not her fault, the character's written as a frustratingly naive moron), so that's already a win.
