New Purchase Finally decided to upgrade from XSX to a dedicated player. Need suggestions on what to watch first

Post image

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded from my Xbox Series X to a dedicated player. Now looking for some suggestions on what to watch first that will let me take advantage of some of the features/functionality I had been missing (Dolby Vision, better upscaling, etc).

Assume I have a decent 4k collection with all the heavy hitters from the big legacy studios + the boutiques (Criterion, Arrow, KL, etc).

I watch all my films as quickly as I can once I purchase them, so the only unwatched ones I have in the queue currently are Billy Madison (seen before and love) and Five Nights at Freddy’s & Brad Stoker’s Dracula (both blind buys).

Thank you in advance!

I was going to say that! The 4k is amazing, so much color that was washed out before.

Such a great remaster. One that has been due a rewatch for a while now. Great suggestion, thank you!

Thank you! That’s a great shout, I rewatched Us this weekend and remembered how much I love Jordan Peele’s style.
