I see now, I just needed to dig deeper, being on different editions sent me for a spin, thank you so much! (You were correct by the way!)

4K UHD/Blu-ray/DVD Community Thread: Bringing the Theater Home!
- Thread starter KDash

Yeah I have the 4K disc for the most recent one so I'd certainly double dip for the rest. Definitely picking up Hellboy when it finally comes.
I'm not really sure what's exclusive so I don't really know what to add, but COCO was a great-looking disc (maybe not as poppy HDR as some others but really great fleshed out color, I thought it looked awesome). Really good movie too.
Don't have the Hell or High Water 4K disc yet, since I'd gotten the regular blu-ray so soon before the 4K finally got announced, but the movie was very cool and I could see this kind of movie looking quite good in HDR/Dolby Vision HDR, which it seemingly has in addition to regular HDR10, so I may still eventually double dip.
Thanks for your recommendation!
I forget to edit my post. I found some more.
US exclusive 4K UHDs are:
Coco
Hereditary
Hell or high water
Love, Simon
The Witch
Moonlight
The 2 old Tomb Raider movies with Angelina Jolie
Maybe more. I just checked Amazon.com.
So, I finally did it. I joined the Disney Movie Club.
I used a code to get five movies for $1, and then got two extra movies for $20. Two of them are 2-packs, so I should be getting nine movies in the mail. Nice.
I got the club exclusive Blu-rays of A Goofy Movie, An Extremely Goofy Movie, and the 2-pack of Saludos Amigos and Three Caballeros, plus The Rescuers movie 2-pack, and the Signature Edition of Pinocchio as the five movies for $1, and added Peter Pan Signature Edition and WALL-E as the two bonus movies.
I also see a lot of stuff I want to buy already in the store. Rest in peace, wallet...

Finally watched the Logan UHD. Very sharp native 4k presentation and natural colors. Visually very appealing movie.
But it didn't grab me that much story wise. It has some good acting and is well made though. Was an ok watch.
Guess it would've had a greater impact if I'd remember the other movies but I didn't really pay attention, will rewatch them though.

Steelbook collecting is actually terrible, easily one of the most annoying hobbies I've tried to get into. No joke it feels like there's a 50% you're receive one with a scratch/scuff/dent even if you pick up from the store yourself and they're shrink wrapped. Then there's the price gouging, low stock and region specific versions. I really want to the new Toy Story and upcoming Ratatouille steels but the price to get them over to Australia is ridiculous and then there's a huge chance they'll arrive damaged in some way anyway. I mean even trying to stack them on a shelf next to each other without protection scratches them.
That said I just picked up the Detective Pikachu steelbook and it's in nice condition and looks incredible.
2) Passengers blew me away with how good it looked but I was rather disappointed in Lucy.
Yea I got into it recently when the Winter Soldier 4K disc released. Figured I may as well grab the other MCU discs to match.
Ugh. I mean they are kind of neat, but are way overpriced and most now hard to locate without paying big money on eBay.
Plus you have the dent issue. I just grabbed the recent Ironman and Thor releases but have yet to open them and see if there are shipping scratches or such. My Captain Marvel disc arrived practically destroyed, both bent and scratched for whatever reason. At least BB was good about replacing, but it's one of my dumbest hobby choices for sure.
It's weird too, I have abandoned physical media for everything but these dumb discs. With D+ coming too I dunno what I'm even doing.
Appreciating the quality of movies is what you're doing. It's easy to forget how good the format can help once you go streaming but it can be eye opening sometimes. Every time I pop in a disk I go "wow no wonder I invest" and sometimes buy more lol.
Black Cauldron has a 1080p encode for streaming so Disney must have it scanned.
I still have a hard time understanding how not all the Classics have even been released on Blu-ray yet, but they started pumping out 4k releases of the more beloved ones and to tie in with the new remakes. I get some don't have the same demand, but at least finish up the list. Having a couple of missing titles when you number the blu-rays is the absolute worst, because I can't fill them up.
Avengers end game in 4k looks brilliant on my oled, i bought the disc a few days ago. detective pikachu left me less impressed. The hdr was great on my oled, particularly with the neon signs set against rhyme cities dark streets, but the image quality left a lot to be desired. I plan on buying the iron man trilogy, and thor 1 and 2 next week to add to my 4k mcu collection
Just ordered my 4k copy of Apocalypse Now from BB. Had a $5 certificate so it was only $19 and change.

I am re-watching all the Marvel movies from phase one onwards and really enjoyed the 3 Iron Man movies. IIRC IM3 4K had the best image quality of the three but that is not to say that the first two were bad by any means. I have Winter Soldier to finish tonight. I hadn't watched it in awhile and I had forgotten what a great movie it is. At current pace, I might not get through them all before Endgame releases in the UK in early September. I am pre-ordering that bad boy so hard though! :D

Toy Story 4 is out October 8th. I've read that it was rendered in 4K, but I cannot confirm that. But it did look absolutely gorgeous in theaters.

This is why I refuse to go all digital. Although it's nice when you purchase a movie it comes with a digital copy (most of them do now).
Yeah, it's nice that they include them. My family uses them sometimes. Still waiting on the internet to be fixed, so I should watch more Blu-rays.
Oh, I definitely want this Target exclusive version of Sleeping Beauty. I only have the movie on DVD.

I want The Black Hole but haven't done the club before and am struggling to pick through the movie selection.
Yeah, that movie was fucking nuts looking. I remember being blown away by the water/rain in the opening.
I got Apocalypse Now in the mail today.
I didn't know it was a 6-disc set and it included all three versions of the film in 4K.
I thought it was going to be like Blade Runner: Final Cut where we only got that version on 4K and not the rest.
But I'm not complaining, it was a nice surprise for sure.
The case itself is very nice, especially for a set that cost around $20.
I really love the artwork. I believe Mondo sold posters of it recently, I wish I would've gotten one of them.
I can't wait to watch it tonight, however I do wish I had an OLED TV already because I think a film like Apocalypse Now would benefit greatly from that type of screen. Right now I have a Samsung KS8000 and while it's a very solid TV, it does suffer a bit during dark scenes. I'm looking to upgrade in the near future though so I ain't too bothered.

As much as I love having AN on 4k I wish I hadn't seen it on imax less than a week ago. Now I want a bigger tv and new sound receiver haha.
Got myself the Johnny English trilogy in Germany yesterday, mostly as a present for my stepdad. Curious if anyone knows why the hell the first two have like 15 subtitle languages while the third two has English, German and Italian? It's so odd that all three discs are produced by the exact same company and what not. Yet the third one drops a ton of subs just because? It's so odd that they've seemingly gone out of their way for the first two, yet the third one?
It's a good thing the films are mostly physical comedy, since my stepdad doesn't understand much English and always has Dutch subs.

That's one ugly ass cover, but extremely excited to see this happen. Here's hoping that Gone With The Wind also comes this year for its 80th anniversary as well!The Wizard of Oz is coming to 4K Blu-ray on October 29th!

Just ordered John Wick 3 4k via Vudu's disc+digital. I think they might have run out of initial stock because the option was gone over the weekend.
Looks like more Disney 4K Blu-rays are on the way...
YEESSSSSS! Moana and Tangled will be mine.
Looks like Vizio will be releasing their first OLED TVs in 2020.
Vizio OLED
That's good for all of us as consumers. I really want an OLED TV but I can't justify the high price at this time.

Watched part of Fantasia on VHS, since it's the only version I have. VHS tapes really do not hold up, even on a CRT where they don't look as bad. I really need to get the Blu-ray. Seems like the UK releases are cheaper and region-free, so I might get the 2-Movie Collection soon. Seems like a lot of the special features are only on the DVDs, though, which aren't included in the UK release...but there's some BD-live thing to watch them? Not even sure that works anymore.
I also watched a minute or two of Black Cauldron on VHS. I might order the DVD since it seems like they might never release it on Blu-ray...

Blu-ray.com gave it a great review. I only popped my copy in for a moment to check it, so I can't make any real comments myself, but it seemed to look and sound good from what little I saw.
I can't wait for this terrible design fad to die out. Just the main character(s) against solid coloured background is terrible and I don't get why they keep making more in this style.Looks like more Disney 4K Blu-rays are on the way...
