I like Dark City, I have the (now OOP I believe) EIV blu ray. Not sure I see any need to upgrade. Much as I like it I don't think I've watched it since owning on blu.

Yeah, mine seemed the same. But there's a lot of folks that couldn't play it any more. At least there's an Arrow back up option. I should also mention that whilst I obviously have tons of respect for Dark City, this is one of my wife's blu rays and if she's happy with our current copy, that's currently good enough for me.

EIV are one of those labels where there seem to be issues with discs now, as in not playing. You may want to check yours out. I must admit i don't ever seem to recall Dark City mentioned but others certainly have.

I'll give it a spin later. The disc was in the player about 8 months ago and appeared to be fine. I didn't actually sit and watch the film now. Can't remember why I put it in now.

'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' (1966) - Available as both 4K UHD (UK$35) and Blu-Ray (UK$30)

Release date: June 23

"With the two preceding films in his "Dollars" trilogy having unleashed a boom in Euro Western productions, Sergio Leone knew that his concluding chapter would have to top them all. Armed with his largest budget yet, Leone created what is, for many, the final word on the subject - a violent, picaresque epic presented with operatic scope and intensity, with Clint Eastwood donning the iconic hat and poncho one last time.

A partnership between two scoundrels, Blondie (Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) goes awry, only for fate to intervene in the form of information about a cache of stolen Confederate gold buried in a graveyard. Each possessing a different clue to its location, the pair are forced into a distrustful partnership. However, the gold is also sought by Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), a ruthless mercenary with his own twisted code of honour. Thus begins a desperate pursuit amidst the mass destruction and absurdity of the American Civil War, culminating in an iconic three-way standoff inside the graveyard.

Mythic, cynical and endlessly entertaining, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly brings Leone's grand sense of dramatic scale to its apotheosis. Arrow Films is proud to present this landmark Western in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled, featuring both cuts of the film meticulously restored in glorious 4K, and a wealth of new and archival bonus materials."

'Road House' (1989) - Available as both 4K UHD (UK$25) and Blu-Ray (UK$18)

Release date: June 2

"Patrick Swayze stars in one of the defining films of the 1980s: Road House, a neon-lit action extravaganza with riveting fight scenes and possibly the coolest protagonist in American cinema.

In Jasper, Missouri, the Double Deuce might be the roughest bar around, where fights break out every night, drugs are dealt under tables and the staff skim off the top. But there's a new sheriff in town: professional cooler and martial artist James Dalton has just been recruited as head of security and begins to class up the joint by roundhouse kicking ruffians and firing bartenders with sticky fingers. Soon the Double Deuce is turned around into the hottest club in Jasper - but Dalton's exploits provoke the ire of Brad Wesley, the local crime-lord who maintains a vice-like grip on the town.

Featuring a star-studded supporting cast including Sam Elliott, Kelly Lynch and Ben Gazzara as the nefarious Wesley, Road House remains the undisputed champion of 80s ass-kicking action!"

'The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3' (1974) - Available as both 4K UHD (UK$25) and Blu-Ray (UK$18)

Release date: June 9

"Strap yourself in for the edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that wrote the rulebook on high-stakes heist movies - Joseph Sargent's 1974 masterclass in relentless suspense, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

Beneath the streets of Manhattan, on an afternoon like any other, four armed men hijack a subway carriage, demanding a $1 million ransom within an hour - or they'll start executing their hostages. Upstairs, in the New York Transit Authority's control room, world-weary transit cop Lt Garber (Walter Matthau) is forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the cool, calculating "Mr Blue" (Robert Shaw), parrying the demands of both the hijackers and the city's authorities as the clock counts down to the fateful deadline.

One of the seminal New York crime films of the seventies, shot on location and oozing period detail and authenticity, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three boasts pitch-perfect performances, pitch-black humour, an unrelenting pace and an unforgettable score by David Shire. Oft-imitated, never bettered, this rugged gem of Hollywood heist cinema remains a perennial classic of the genre - and one hell of a ride. Gesundheit!"
