Boys (1996) - Blu-ray Forum

Dustin Putman · 02-06-2018, 12:10 PM

As of today, Feb. 6, Boys is available on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Any other fans of this underappreciated mid-'90s Winona Ryder-Lukas Haas romance?

Excited to receive my copy today and see it in HD! A *great* soundtrack, too.

Movie was a mess, and clearly was cut down for a PG-13. Seeing as they're not going to ever release the original cut, I've never had much interest in revisiting it.

There is a new audio commentary with writer-director Stacy Cochran on the Blu-ray. Hoping she will maybe talk about the original cut.

Although certainly imperfect, I've always had a soft spot for the film, and it takes me right back to 1996 when I see it. I also like the chemistry between Ryder and Haas.

I have the same soft spot but not enough of one to pay $20 for it.

Doesn't look too good...

Never seen it but always had a big crush on the 'crazy' actresses like W. Ryder and C. Ricci. May explain why I ended up with a bpd gal.

So, how's the picture and audio quality? As bad as this site's review claims?

When you’re not likely to see it get any better on BD, and it’s on sale from Kino for $4.99, I personally don’t sweat it. But no, it doesn’t look great.
