Own the Classics: April's Must-Have Physical Media
1 May
Summary
- Physical media releases offer permanence for cinephiles.
- April brings classic films like 'Alice in Wonderland' in 4K.
- Notable releases include 'Body Heat,' 'Lenny,' and 'The Delta.'
The enduring appeal of physical media ensures a robust collection for cinephiles, with releases from The Criterion Collection, Kino Lorber, and the Warner Archive Collection. These curated collections offer film lovers the opportunity to own cinematic treasures, providing a stable alternative to the ephemeral nature of streaming platforms.
As the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and summer movie season approach, a selection of classic films is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD this month. Among these are Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" presented in 4K UHD, and Lawrence Kasdan's steamy southern gothic film "Body Heat."
Further enriching the offerings, Criterion releases Bob Fosse's biographical drama "Lenny." Additionally, Ira Sachs' debut feature, "The Delta," an exploration of a young man's self-discovery in Memphis, is now available. Peter Bogdanovich's 1970s comedy "Nickelodeon," starring Tatum and Ryan O'Neal, also makes the list of notable physical media releases.
