4K TVs are finally cheap enough for everyone, but there’s no point in upgrading if you don’t get to see some gorgeous new movies on it. To get the best picture possible, you’ll need a 4K Blu-ray player, and a few good movies to watch. Here, we’ve got some of the best, most beautiful Blu-rays you can buy.

This is the first, best Blu-ray you should get if you just want to show off. The BBC team uses state of the art camera gear to capture footage of the most beautiful locations, plants, and animals in the world. It’s not just 4K technology on display, either. The team uses drones, stabilizers, high-speed cameras, and other modern tech to get shots that weren’t possible even a decade ago. The result is some of the most gorgeous cinematography, depicting the wonders of our planet in the most vivid images you’ve ever seen. All from the comfort of your living room. Planet Earth II isn’t intended to be a 4K HDR demo disc, but it works perfectly as one.
It’s not often that an action movie makes waves at awards shows, but Fury Road deserves every accolade. Director George Miller crafted an exhilarating two-hour car chase that, despite taking place in a post-apocalyptic desert, is blasted with color. Unlike most blockbusters, Fury Road is shot largely with practical effects and sparing CGI. Every grain of sand and every scratch on the cars is on full display in 4K HDR.
Disney stayed out of the 4K HDR scene for what felt like a little too long, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 makes an excellent first entry for the company. The title sequence for this film alone might just include every single color HDR is capable of reproducing. When we talk about HDR, we usually talk about brighter lights and darker blacks, but it also gives filmmakers a more nuanced color palette to work with. Guardians shows that off better than most movies, with an array of other worldly locations and characters. Director James Gunn doesn’t leave any part of the rainbow…
