This is an impressively diverse collection of art-house classics, many titles of which I'll bet no-one posting on this thread has seen - Synecdoche New York and The Celluloid Closet being two examples. This release reminds me of the heyday of LaserDisc, when lovingly curated - pricey - boxes were released. Apparently, a major driver behind the LaserDisc releases, was that the heads of the major film studios really liked the format and wanted to have the films readily accessible in their own home theatres. I can see this particular box-set being gifted to Hollywood insiders this coming Christmas.
And for anyone wailing about their own favourite titles not being included in a 4K set - chances are they'll turn up. You might have to look over the pond. The German 4K Howard's End has been available since 2018. It is cheap and looks splendid - by far the best looking version of the film, which has been released to date.
