If you’re a movie buff, then you know what a difference image quality can make to the viewing experience. The advent of 4K resolution has allowed people to experience movie-theater-like images from the comfort of their own homes. Some movies, in particular, can only really be appreciated with a high-tech screen. If you’ve just upgraded your system, grab the popcorn and enjoy one of these favorites.

What to Watch in 4K

1. The Martian (2015)

For those who’ve long harbored fantasies of taking to space, this film starring Matt Damon deserves the 4K experience. You’ll witness the precise level of detail put into creating an authentic visit to Mars. The visual effects are stupendous, featuring rich desert hues, outstanding rock formations, and other highlights that brought the Red Planet to life.

2. The Joker (2019)

Gritty, dark, and observational, this was one of the most hyped-up films of 2019. Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the grim and iconic character has been widely lauded by the entertainment industry. On a 4K screen, the darkness looks even more pervasive and rich thanks to the deep colors and vivid cinematography.

3. Back to the Future (1985)

In this longtime favorite film starring Michael J. Fox as a young time traveler, Marty McFly takes a trip back to 1955 in an iconic DeLorean, encounters both his mom and his dad as high school students, and grapples with the possibility of disappearing from existence altogether. Can he prevent Biff Tannen from destroying his future? It’s perfect for a popcorn movie night with the family—and many of the special effects hold up even to this day.

4. Deadpool (2016)

This is what you get when you combine Ryan Reynolds, some serious fight scenes, and an iconic soundtrack. Among the biggest films of its year, it rated highly with audiences for its successful balance of both superhero action and intense comedy. It’s the inventive use of makeup, coupled with the memorable special effects, that make the movie even more impressive.

5. Jaws (1975)

If you don’t mind jumping out of your chair every now and then, then this ‘70s classic is the right choice for your next movie night. The beloved film is a timeless cinematic favorite that essentially defined the summer popcorn movie. In 4K, the visuals—including the rush of shark teeth soaring towards the screen—is shocking and awe-inspiring.
