Just watched Criterion's excellent 4K remastered 1080p BD~V of Mulholland Drive a few weeks ago.....doubtful I'll double dip!

Another series or Box set that should get the UHD 4K treatment

IIRC, not much surround action.

Jeremiah Johnson (1972) BD:
1. DTS-MA 5.1 on this and although it's sparingly used, there are discrete echoes, weather and score in the surrounds. Better than nothing.
2. A great flick that delivers on everything (story, acting, cinematography, etc). A cool script too, probably thanks to John Milius.
3. BD here: Amazon.com: Jeremiah Johnson [Blu-ray] : Robert Redford, Will Geer, Delle Bolton, Sydney Pollack: Movies & TV

Red Planet (2000) BD:
1. One of the 2 Mars movies that can out at the same time (with de Palma's Mission to Mars) back when there was a short-lived run on 2 movies that came out at the same time about similar things (Armageddon/Deep Impact).
2. This has a surprisingly discrete and active surround mix throughout most of the movie.
3. I find it a fun brain-off/volume-up watch - like you stumbled across it late one night on TV and thought, "Yeah, that was alright".
4. BD here: Amazon.com: Red Planet [Blu-ray] : Chuck Pfarrer, Jonathan Lemkin, Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt, Simon Baker, Terence Stamp, Charles J.D. Schlissel, Mark Canton, Andrew Mason, Bruce Berman, Jorge Saralegui, Antony Hoffman: Movies & TV

I am finally working my way through last year's Ip Man 4k boxset of 1-4.
Last time I watched them was in stereo from DVD so the 5.1 and 4k has been a revelation to me.
I am glad I got it, especially for ~$36 USD. A more complete, and fair, review from digital bits:

I finished watching the 4K Lynch Dune last night.
The film itself has never looked better, and the surround does enhance it rather well.

The things I didn't like about it when it came out, I still don't like. I did however enjoy more this time than any other viewing so if this film is your guilty pleasure, the 4K is worth a go.

Right, it's region free, but it's still PAL.

Once we got colour TV and PAL the 'joke' on this side of the pond was that due to the poor modulation scheme used NTSC stood for Never The Same Colour! Curiously all the TVs I have bought can handle PAL 50Hz/NTSC 60Hz (though not all would work with the French SECAM), but as for disc Region encoding

 

[Marplot]

Curious question. I had hoped with 4kUHD that the NTSC v PAL issue would finally be put to rest.
https://www.lifewire.com/why-ntsc-and-pal-still-matter-1847856I don't see any indication of pal/ntsc on my Dune other than the region A for the BR disc
