If you have 1/2 hour+ to kill, it may be worth your while to peruse AmazonUS' current sale. Buy 1 for Amazon's current sale price and get one at 50% off ... this includes UHD4K, Blu~Ray, DVD. box sets, Playstation and books. You'd be shocked at what kind of bargains you might get but it's painstaking.

Snatch and Escape From Alcatraz ordered; shame Bullet Train is still silly expensive.

I just ordered this one yesterday so really looking forward to it now. :)

I recently got a chance to watch a couple of 4K discs I've been looking forward to: Blade Runner 2049 and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Both had superb Atmos soundtracks as I'm sure most of you already know. I was pleasantly surprised with how good Ghostbusters Afterlife turned out too (script-wise). That BR2049 might be my favorite disc in the collection though, wow!

Yeah, that Blade Runner sequel was awesome. Great sound design and some alarming lows.

Hope you'll enjoy TRAIN TO BUSAN as much as I did. I kept putting off watching it but was glued to the screen from the moment the credits started. Extraordinarily great! I watched it in Korean with English subtitles [Korean track is in ATMOS].

I have Blade Runner 2049 in 3D ......Immensely enjoyable!

Oh wow, I really wish I had picked up one of those early OLEDs. So weird how they just abandoned 3D in the US.

Thanks for the soundtrack tip on Busan!
 
I absolutely love this film. This is the Korean Blu-ray Uncut version I just bought, upgrading my cut DVD. A bit expensive ($35.00 range plus oversea postage) but worth it for me. A whole village, and a coming of age boy obsess over a struggling gorgeous widow in Italy during WWII. Women hate her, the men love her. Monica Belluci is stunningly beautiful and incredibly sexy. (I may be gay, but I ain't blind!)

I should've listened to timothyperson regarding the UHD4K remaster of Michael Mann's HEAT. It's WAAAYYYY too dark. Glad I only paid $8.99 for it. It really deserves a new remaster. And my LG OLED TV and OPPO 205 is a stellar combo and never had this problem before ... Oh yes, with Disney's UHD4K remaster of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Another title that needs to be redone!

Good job it was only a cheapie! Yes indeed; way too dark and pretty much a complete washed-out colour mess over all. At least the previous BD, taken from the 4K scan looks perfectly fine in terms of colours and brightness.

With ALL their money, Pete, Disney who is now handling the 20th Century Fox film catalogue, as well, should find a new mastering house. Do you have EMPIRE STRIKES BACK on UHD4K ...... As dark as HEAT and it's my favorite film in the entire Star Wars franchise! That one I did send back to Amazon for REFUND!

Nah, I haven't seen Empire on 4K. I heard it was a dud and so avoided it!
 
With the upcoming SDE Atmos BD~A release on Concert for George I did some research and really wanted, as well, the FULL Concert for George BD~V and just discovered that Craft Recordings, a subsidiary of UMG's Concord Records released not only a 2 RBCD version of the complete concert but two remastered BD~Vs as well, one being the FULL concert and the other the theatrical version [DTS~HD MA 5.1/LPCM STEREO] And here is a 2011 review of the original BD~V:
