Best of the Year: Timeless Legends & Epic Classics

Experience cinema’s greatest masterpieces as never before. Timeless Legends & Epic Classics showcases iconic films in stunning 4K, from Kurosawa’s legendary Seven Samurai to the suspenseful thrills of Ronin and the gritty sci-fi of The Terminator. With enhanced detail and vivid clarity, these restored releases celebrate the artistry and enduring impact of some of the most influential films in history. Dive into this essential collection and see these classics in a whole new light.



Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is a monumental achievement in cinema, and its debut in 4K for the first time ever, courtesy of the BFI, is truly exciting. One of the greatest films of all time, it has profoundly influenced directors from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg and inspired remakes like John Sturges’ The Magnificent Seven. The film follows 16th-century farmers who, facing repeated attacks by bandits, enlist the help of an elderly, masterless samurai (Takashi Shimura). He assembles a band of warriors to defend and train them. Featuring standout performances by Shimura and Toshiro Mifune, superb camerawork, and expertly crafted battle scenes, this action masterpiece is now presented in a stunning 4K restoration. The BFI’s limited edition 2-disc set includes a book, postcards, and a poster, making this release a must-have for cinephiles.

Ronin

Robert De Niro leads an ensemble of Hollywood heavyweights in this late '90s action thriller that stands the test of time. Directed by the legendary John Frankenheimer, the film masterfully combines the adrenaline of big-screen action with the intrigue of a spy caper. The plot revolves around the mission to retrieve a mysterious briefcase with undisclosed but invaluable contents. Despite their skills, the handpicked team is soon entangled in a web of mistrust and betrayal, causing their meticulously planned operation to spiral into chaos. This cinematic gem oozes style and remains a must-see, making it a deserving candidate for this 4K restoration.
