Catch-22  — 4K 04/14/26

We remember plenty of movies that got chalked up as failures, yet now seem more interesting than most new Oscar nominees. Mike Nichols’ ambitious anti-war epic, from Joseph Heller’s satrical novel, impresses greatly in multiple ways, with a dream cast in quirky, imaginative roles. Alan Arkin’s Yossarian is an airman, a sad sack everyman. He wants to survive his combat posting, but the Army Air Corps seems determined that he become a battle statistic. Paramount’s new 4K encoding is a beauty, and the extras include an all-time favorite commentary track, an audio discussion between Mike Nichols and Steven Soderbergh. On Blu-ray from Shout Select.
