<![CDATA[ <article> <p>4K Blu-ray fans, it's back: The Criterion Collection sale is happening right now, with up to 50% off a large selection of 4K discs. </p><p>You can check out the full selection at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/TheCriterionCollection/page/4F5AB2DC-072E-4504-BB71-27711068B8D9" target="_blank">The Criterion Channel page on Amazon US</a>, but below, I've picked nine of my favorite discs from the sale, most of which have featured in our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/tag/blu-ray-bounty">Blu-ray Bounty,</a> where we test the latest 4K releases each month. </p><p>Hot off the presses, <em><strong>K-Pop Demon Hunters</strong></em><strong> </strong>has only been a couple of weeks, but it's already discounted so there's no better time to pick one of 2025's biggest movies. Expect vivid and vibrant colors and a punchy Atmos soundtrack. </p><p>If you're looking for a showcase for 4K Blu-ray's capabilities, then check out <em><strong>Double Indemnity</strong></em>, <em><strong>Gilda</strong></em>, <em><strong>3:10 To Yuma</strong></em>, <em><strong>Godzilla</strong></em> and <em><strong>12 Angry Men</strong></em>. All of these are black-and-white movies that demonstrate superb contrast, showing a great balance between light, dark and gray tones. Each one of these has crisp textures on 4K, with the format breathing new life into these titles: one of its strengths. </p><p>Elsewhere, <em><strong>Frankenstein (2025) </strong></em>is another recent release that has gorgeous picture quality, with realistic textures, powerful contrast and an excellent Dolby Atmos soundtrack that will let your home theater flex its muscles. </p><p><em><strong>Dead Man</strong></em> is another black-and-white title, albeit released in the 90s, that again shows staggering contrast, with deep black tones and fantastic brightness, especially during its daytime scenes. </p><p>Finally, <em><strong>The Breakfast Club</strong></em> looks great in 4K, with bold colors and sharp textures, showing once again what 4K can do for older movies. Close-up shots of characters really show how detailed 4K can be. </p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-9-of-my-picks-from-the-criterion-collection-4k-blu-ray-sale"><span>9 of my picks from
