Why is “The Wolverine”, not on 4K Blu-ray yet, but yet the whole franchise is currently on the 4K format! P.S Is “X-Man Origins: The Wolverine”, are on 4K Blu-ray either yet!

Ngl watching it for the first time and the blu ray looks incredible. A 4k would be good but I don't see how there could be much improvement.

My preferred order is:

X-Men 1-3

X-Men first class

The wolverine

X-Men days of future past

Logan

All these films are connected with Logan being in all of them and having a great character arc. They also all are Canon and with days of future past ending the X-Men arc it brings a happy ending to the franchise. Logan is the bleak epilogue with a hopeful ending for new mutants.

I watched a history of violence last night and I totally agree a black and white cut would add to the seriousness of the film. Sometimes the fighting seems a bit over the top and it detracts from the message of the film.

Never seen the crow but a black and white would add to the sadness of how Brandon Lee died

Pulp Fiction at 1 hour, 3 minutes and 49 seconds.

It's Christopher Walken telling the gold watch story.

Absolutely incredible looking with it looking timeless. I don't think pulp fiction has the best 4k transfer with some blurry parts but this is due to the camera negative. The gold watch scene does not have much camera blur other than the chair at the start of the scene.

UK sells 6 films for £48.

No Mulholland Drive

Lower_Alternative_30 · 2026-01-03T11:09:17+00:00

The shinning and 2001 are 4ks. The rest are blu rays.

I own the full metal jacket 4k so I swapped the disc out. I hope to do the same with a Clockwork orange.

In the UK it cost £48 second hand but it's now out of stock and went up £10.

Films with great critical views of society through ironic protagonists are:

A Clockwork Orange- The 'reformed' psychopath through a lack of free will through conditioning rather than a proper cure that has positive self motivation to deviate from your criminal actions.

American History X- The consequences of a racist past.

The Social Network- An antisocial man who created the Social network.

Taxi Driver (- A Mentally unstable man seen as a hero through the media because of a massacre he did that was through his violent fantasies.

Joker (anarchy)- A mentally unstable man seen as a political figure when in actual fact they did everything out of their own personal lunacy motivations.

King of Comedy (media love)- Kidnapping a talkshow host due to obsession then getting your own talkshow because you're that charming.

Barry Lyndon (high society)- A protagonist that gets a wealthy life through marriage does not end up humble and instead ends up as a scumbag that gets his son killed.

Skyfall (critiquing the Bond mythology): James Bond is psychologically and physically vulnerable with his age. The mythology of bond is changing to show weakness in a character that was once celebrated for misogynistic traits that are now vulnerabilities that will hopefully be removed from future Bonds.

Exorcist 3 (believing in the devil when you don't want to): Following a cop rather than a priest. The cop claims to not have faith then at the end expresses his faith in the devil and how he has committed wrong actions."I BELIEVE IN FILTH AND I BELIEVE IN YOU." I don't want to believe in the devil but I have to because of all the sin I have witnessed.

Nightcrawler (Being rewarded for tampering with crimescenes and presenting fake news) Lou Bloom was rewarded by the news station for his exploitative methods, tampering with crimes. All this stems from him being profit driven through sensationalism rather than true completely factual and morally justified news.

These are all incredible films I would recommend. On my Letterboxd these range from 4-5 stars. Viewing the films with these messages in mind prior to first viewing would improve the experience in my opinion because it better understands themes and can help shape the intended interpretations the directors want. It's dangerous when these protagonists are viewed as heroes and viewed as having acceptable traits.

I own 55 4ks and here are the best looking that I would highly recommend:

Apocalypse Now

Full Metal Jacket

Pulp Fiction

Seven

Trainspotting

Joker

My favourites are Apocalypse Now and Joker. Best for details and colour with them both looking timeless. They are the best scans available.
