Six films make their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut in the new Columbia Classics Volume 5 deluxe 4K disc set: more details here.
At the top end of collectable boxsets for the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format is the terrific range of Columbia Classics collections. Each of the boxes contain six films on the 4K disc format, as well as a deluxe book. Furthermore, the majority of films that have appeared in the sets haven’t enjoyed an individual release. Not so keen on that aspect, as it puts a sizeable financial barrier in the way of owning some films on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
For the minute though, I’ll concentrate on the latest set, Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection Volume 5, that’s now been confirmed for UK release.
The six films chosen for inclusion this time are All The King’s Men, On The Waterfront, A Man For All Seasons, Tootsie, The Age Of Innocence and the 2019 take on Little Women. Some absolute corkers in there, each of which is making its 4K disc debut. Each of which also comes laden with what sounds like a hefty collection of extra features as well.
You can find more information on the release, and order yourself a copy, right here.
As for the release date, the UK will be getting the set on 21st October 2024 (it’s just been delayed from the end of September). Some of the previous sets in this series have sold out altogether, some remain available. Not saying that to do any kind of hard sell or anything, just passing along the facts.
The official synopsis for the new boxset release reads as follows…
Celebrate 100 years of Columbia Pictures with the fifth volume of the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection! Featuring six award-winning masterpieces, including three Best Picture Academy Award® winners, now debuting on 4K Ultra HD. With hours of special features and an exclusive 80-page book with unique insights and production detail about each of the films, go deeper into these classics than ever before.
Not much more to say, and as this site doesn’t work on bulking articles out to hit a Google-baiting wordcount, I’ll pop off now. Thanks for reading.
