Top 7 4K Blu-ray Discs to Buy on Prime Day Sale

I’m a huge fan of 4K Blu-rays because, as much as I enjoy streaming services, nothing beats the quality of physical media. That’s why I’ve been collecting more discs lately. In fact, it was my New Year’s Resolution to start a ‘4K Blu-ray Club’ and watch a new or classic film every month.

I was worried that physical media might disappear, but it seems like there’s actually a growing number of 4K Blu-ray titles available now. Like vinyl and CDs, it looks like 4K Blu-ray has a promising future for those who want the best picture quality.

The good news is that it’s Amazon Prime Day, and there are some fantastic deals on top titles. Here are a few of my recommendations, and if you spend over £80, you’ll get £20 back for next month.

– Blade Runner: 2049: was £24.99, now £19.99 on Amazon
This disc is often considered the ultimate test for high-quality audio-visual systems. If you have one of the best OLED TVs and a great surround sound system, this movie will really show off what your setup can do. I still remember watching this movie in a Dolby Vision-certified cinema in New York City. The visual impact of this film has stayed with me, and this 4K format is the next best way to experience it.

– The Martian (Extended Edition): was £19.99, now £16.98 on Amazon
The Martian is an outstanding movie, as its high audience and critics’ scores on Rotten Tomatoes reflect. The 4K Blu-ray version enhances the film even more with its high dynamic range (HDR) re-grading, making the colors and brightness really pop.

– The Greatest Showman: was £19.99, now £16.98 on Amazon
Even if you’re not a fan of musicals, The Greatest Showman might surprise you. I was skeptical until I watched a key scene in a custom-built cinema room recently. The soundtrack alone is worth it, and the visual direction is superbly matched to the music. It’s beloved by audiences, with an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, despite its critical reception.

– Forrest Gump: was £19.99, now £16.98 on Amazon
Considered one of the greatest films ever made, with six Oscars to its name and a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Forrest Gump is a must-watch. The 4K Blu-ray version includes an all-new Dolby Atmos sound mix for a truly immersive experience, especially during the Vietnam scenes.

These are just a few of the great deals available on 4K Blu-rays during Amazon Prime Day. It’s a fantastic time to add some quality titles to your collection and enhance your home viewing experience.
