Shaker Run - 1985

Ruby and Rata - 1990
Chunuk Bair - 1992
Scarfies - 1999
The Irrefutable Truth About Demons - 2000
Tongan Ninja - 2002 (though tbh, it's godawful)

That's on BD but OOP.

Blu-ray versions of Out of the Blue would seem to be available from Swedish sources. Do a search using its scan code number of 7340066930051

How could I forget Jackson's masterpieces Meet the Feebles & Heavenly Creatures (in both cuts thank you).

River Queen blu-ray copies are available, although OOP, for about $26us or 36eur. I have links from my River Queen page at: http://www.nzvideos.org/river.html

Although Meet the Feebles is not available on Blu-ray, Heavenly Creatures is. I have links to sources at my Heavenly Creatures page of: http://www.nzvideos.org/heavenly.html

Would this get a Blu ray release, already. I've been waiting for years and it's my most wanted movie to get a Blu ray.

Was it just the Swedish release on this?

There has been talk about Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles for years now but I've virtually given up hope just like Cameron's The Abyss & True Lies.

Yes, it would seem that the only distributor is in Sweden. DaaVeeDee.com sometimes has it for sale, but not today. They are a US firm that specializes in discs from other countries. Otherwise, do a search using the scan code number of: 7340066930051

Yeah, Bad Taste is a lot of fun! I'm still clinging on to my Anchor Bay limited edition DVD but it would be so nice if we could get a Blu release!
