Cas says:Says a lot about the quality of films this year that virtually the entire top 10 is made up of older re-releases.
If this was about the actual best discs for p/q and audio then the list would look a lot different.Although some of the latest releases provide hard-to-argue-with demo material, there's something quite special about a native 4K Dolby Vision rendition of a classic masterpiece
Not purchased to Many UHD discs this year , a new display and spinner though has given me a taste once again . So cheers @Casimir Harlow As I will treat myself to Alien , Iron Man , Casino and Angel Heart . Not watched the latter since VHS days so will be like watching a new film.
I know I've said it before , many times but a film such as Alien crud out for a 3d object based mix . It has such a great soundstage that would be greatly enhanced with an Atmos or DTS X mix. The landing on LV426 inside the cockpit for example has always been a favourite on the sound front .
The US version has slightly raised blacks...Joker’s not released yet I don’t think. I’ve heard very good stuff about Angel Heart’s UHD from various sites
Cheers Cas
The ones that blew me away this year were Alien and The Shining... couldn't believe how good they look.

Personally I would have put avengers end game in there as well.
Thanks for the list though Cas, hope you had a great Christmas.
Really annoyed I missed Don't look now on release as it’s twice the price now on eBay.
I’ve never seen it, but this format sounds like the one to finally see it on.
Hopefully will get a cheaper version released .. may have to go digital as it’s nearly 1/4 of the price (come on suppliers, we are trying to keep this format alive!)
Some great titles Cas, we watched The Shining last night and it looked stunning.
Apoc is a classic and bar a few noisy grain scenes in the sky, I thought it was a gorgeous transfer.
With Jaws having a 2019 cinema release I really hope to be reading it on your 2020 best of UHD list!!
