Columbia Classics 6-Film 4k Blu-ray Collection Details & Highlights

Columbia Classics 6-Film 4k Blu-ray Limited Edition

The Columbia Classics 17-disc collection arriving on June 16, 2020 features six films on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time. The titles include Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Dr. Strangelove (1964), Gandhi (1982), A League of Their Own (1992), and Jerry Maguire (1996).

Most of the films have been fully restored from the original negatives for this collection, and all are presented in 2160p (4k) resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR10). New Dolby Atmos soundtracks are also provided for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Gandhi (1982), A League of Their Own (1992), and Jerry Maguire (1996).

New bonus materials presented in this collection include theatrical trailers (Gandhi), unused international prologue (Lawerence of Arabia), international teasers, trailers, and TV episodes (A League of Their Own), and an episode of the “Here’s The Thing” podcast, hosted by Alec Baldwin (Jerry Maguire).

Along with plenty of previously-released bonus materials from each film in the collection, there’s also an exclusive DVD featuring the Mr. Attenborough and Mr. Gandhi documentary plus excerpts from the rare 1975 Columbia Pictures 50th Anniversary TV special.

A lot of folks are calling the curation of six classic films for Columbia Classics 4k Blu-ray collection a bit odd. But, another way to look at it is the titles may appeal to a wide audience. Regardless, the films chosen for the collection all play a significant part in film history.

Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection Vol. 1 has a list price of $164.99 and includes a total of 17 discs (a mix of 4k Blu-ray and Blu-ray). See details below on each film.
