Sorry but this isn't much of a deal. I just nabbed The Fugitive in UHD for the exact same price a week ago.
These companies deliberately withholding 4k UHD and pushing HD copies is pretty pathetic considering there's no additional manufacturing costs involved. Literally just trying to sell customers an inferior version of their product for the same price, no doubt so they can get you again later down the road and upsell you.

All are in standard definition except Life of Pi?
I see them all as HD as well. If you're not seeing them at that price, maybe one of the posts from another thread might help:
"Not seeing $4.99 prices? It is because you have a video credit balance like me.
FYI Amazon has an intentional "glitch" if you use the website to purchase these $4.99 or other video deals. If you have an existing No Rush delivery credit balance, you will NOT see these $4.99 prices or other deal price in their $7.99 or $9.99 deals category.
The only work around is to go to the Amazon Prime app on your phone (I use Android) and purchase them there. I just purchased several of these $4.99 movies on the app. On the website they show up anywhere from $7.99 to $12.99. Once I used up all my credits, the website now shows all these $4.99 deals at that price......"

I uninstalled and reinstalled Amazon Prime app and Amazon app in an attempt to purchase, but Amazon was not allowing any way to buy on their apps. Really strange. I never purchase using the apps. No problem with pc. Even though Amazon keeps causing problems with the higher price.
When going through checkout, Amazon gives the impression you will be charged a much higher price or higher credits. But the end checkout shows $5. And often I will have to wait half an hour before I can make another purchase using credits because the next movie price is artifically jacked up, but resolves downward after the half hour resolves.
Nothing in Amazon's "prime shipping credit" policy explains any of this. So they are doing it intionally. I've contacted Amazon a dozen times and they have no explanation.

Ditto. Tim Burton's best film, IMO.
