It really is a revelation to watch an older movie on UHD Blu-ray after being subjected to the mush that streaming services put up.

Services like Apple TV+ do pretty well on 4K when it's their own flagship content, but none of them care about movies that were shot before digital. They'll serve a terrible automatic encoding that loses all the detail from the original film.

I just bought Lynch's "Lost Highway" on UHD Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection, and this 1997 movie has probably never looked this good in any format. Even the original film prints shown in theatres were second-generation compared to this 4K. It's mastered from the negative and perfectly encoded to preserve the massive film grain in the indoor scenes.
