Physical media may be devalued by some in our streaming-dominated world, but you’d be surprised how many great titles are only available on disc. Also, some titles can be so much more rewarding on DVD, Blu-ray, or 4K UHD, especially when they’re loaded with special packaging and bonus features. With that in mind, here’s a look at all the best films that you can spin starting in November 2023, including the physical debuts of recent theatrical movies such as Oppenheimer, The Equalizer 3, and The Nun II. Also coming to disc just in time for holiday shopping are the 4K UHD debuts of Fargo, The Monster Squad, Barbarella, and Resident Evil: The Complete Collection SteelBook. In addition, two TV series—Justified: City Primeval and The Sandman: The Complete First Season—arrive on disc, the latter of which is welcome news for Neil Gaiman fans who do not subscribe to Netflix.
