As TechRadar’s resident 4K Blu-ray tester, I’ve seen a ton of excellent 4K discs and reviewed them as part of my Blu-ray Bounty feature.
I recently wrote about my favorite six 4K ‘classic movies’. These are the movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood that benefitted hugely from the picture and audio restoration that 4K Blu-ray can provide.
Titles like The Batman, which delivers striking, rich contrast and Top Gun: Maverick which offers incredible lifelike detail with beautiful, crisp visuals, regularly serve as testing discs not only for the best TVs but also the best soundbars or speakers, thanks to their uncompressed, engaging and powerful Dolby Atmos soundtracks.
The Mask has become another regular testing disc, thanks to its precise and detailed Atmos effects and gloriously eye-popping colors. Speaking of bold colors and big soundtracks, you can’t really beat Deadpool & Wolverine on both fronts.
Finally, two Westerns. The stone-cold classic The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is easily one of the best-looking 4K restorations I’ve seen, with superbly lifelike visuals, while Tombstone boasts vivid colors and refined detail. Both come with DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtracks that capture every gunfight with precision, accuracy and nuance a level above streaming.
Below are the best prices for these six discs in the US and below that, you’ll find the best prices for these discs in the UK – click here to jump straight to them.
