Pick your poison between the 3 UHDs or maybe the remastered Shout! Factory Blu-ray?

Best Video:

Italy Eagle Pictures 4K Blu-ray has consistently mediocre encoding + no original audio. StudioCanal encoding is better a lot of the time, but is terrible in others. Shout! Factory 4K Blu-ray has good encoding but wrong colour space

20th Anniversary UHDs

Video Notes:

Better than the original 2019 4K Blu-ray, but there are a few shots with heavy DNR that look worse than the old 4K Blu-ray. The 2024 France StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray has a better encode than the 2024 Universal 4K Blu-ray (but forced France subs)
