Just saw the movie mentioned and every time I do this bugs me :  why can’t I get North by Notthwest in 4K??  Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m grateful to have most of the other Hitchcock movies in 4K, but NxNW is my favorite!  Who do I need to bribe?

 

This year marks the 65th anniversary of the movie.

 

Fingers crossed we get a 4K and a nice premium release.

 

Preferably something similar to what EverythingBlu did for Psycho.

 

North by Northwest and Rear Window are tied when it comes to my favourite Hitchcock movies.

I have no idea if this is real or not, supposedly the popcorn bucket for Dune 2.  I want one regardless.

 

 

 

My son and I always get the special popcorn buckets opening weekend, if they aren’t sold out.

I just finished The Godfather.

 

 

The stars finally aligned—really enjoyed it this time, wow. The final couple of shots... chills. I wish I had 3.5 hours more to watch Part II.

Responses from some who have seen the new transfer: Blu-Ray Forums

Thanks.  I get bummed when everyone is saying 4k restoration then later find out it was just upscaled to 4k.  
 

I love this movie.  I hope it looks as great as everyone says.

It’s such a beautiful movie. I’m not even into guys, but Cary Grant’s suit is the coolest thing ever worn by a male of the human species; give it to me in 4K!

Oddly I never think of it this way, but Pulp Fiction is a gangster movie, right?  Gangsters are crucial to every segment.  Lots of, as Jules says, gangsters doing gangster sh*t.

Wait, you’re giving people grief for not having seen movies and you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction??  You’ve got to watch it next!

So, I didn't do the full top 10 list, and that was my bad. Also, I just recalled some films that are considered gangster movies that I totally forgot to add. So, here is my updated list:

 

1. GoodFellas

2. The Godfather Part II

3. Reservoir Dogs

4. The Godfather Part I

5. American Gangster

6. Le Samouraï

7. Casino

8. Boyz N the Hood

9. The Departed

10. Snatch

I can't handle this bucket design Heywood 🤣 The butter will get all over the spindles, and the more popcorn you eat, the deeper you'll have to stick your arm into this hole, and it's going to get butter and salt all over your bare arm, like what are they thinking

I've only seen it once myself but I have the 4k steelbook. I guess now would be a good time as any to actually open it and watch.

The 4K Blu-Ray provides a magnificent experience for lovers of the film, and is a massive jump compared to previous releases. Now, if we could only get a 4K Blu-Ray for Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight...
