Just sold a lot of movies and PS4/PS5 games on eBay. To get some funds to replace our ancient Blu-Ray player. So I bought a new 4K player - Panasonic DP-UB820-K. Can you guys recommend some awesome 4K movies that are worth the purchase?
I currently have in 4K:
Die Hard
Jaws
Saving Private Ryan
The Fifth Element
Gladiator
Alien
The Thing (Kurt Russell)
Indiana Jones collection
Viewed reviews on these movies before purchasing them. My TV supports eARC and so does the player as well as my sound system. TIA!

Of course I do! 1GB fiber optic actually ran straight to the house. I like to watch movies when I want to and not "IF" they are streaming or not. Makes for a nice day off. Yes, we have Netflix, Paramount +, Disney, Amazon Prime, Max, ESPN +,etc. You sound like my wife. I do NOT pay for 4K and it is just a little thing I wanted to dabble into to see what it is all about - nothing more, nothing less.

Streaming 4K is heavily compressed. The end product is pretty decent given how much information is lost, but uncompressed 4K discs are better.
Edit: to stream uncompressed 4K@60, you’d need 12Gbps of bandwidth. Most people don’t even have 1 Gbps.
