Movies you're surprised aren't on Bluray yet? - Blu-ray Forum

Norange · 04-18-2015, 06:05 PM

DVD's are a relic today, and most movies have been re-released on Bluray. But not all. Which movies are you surprised about not having been released on Bluray yet?

I'm very surprised that the following movies aren't available yet:
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Wonderful movie, Sandler's best by far.

Happiness (1998)
Dark comedy and drama at its best.

Inside I'm Dancing (2004)
James McAvoy is best known as a young Charles Xavier in X-Men, but this movie from his early career is warm and wonderful.

Savage (2009)
Revengemovie at its best, amongst the best i've seen from Ireland.

Spanglish (2004)
Warm feelgoodmovie, very well made. One of my favorites.

The Abyss

The Abyss is one that is really surprising. Know it wasn't a big hit but The Haunting remake.

The Pink Panther series. Last year was its 50th Anniversary and still nothing bar the original and the Steve Martin films!

Agree with these two, also the Before Trilogy, I know Criteron has them lined up but until I see them announced I'm waiting with baited breath.

I know The Abyss and True Lies gets mentioned a lot but these:

- Panic Room
- The Village
- Mean Creek
- The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

What are they waiting for?

Leslie Dame · 04-18-2015, 07:36 PM

Two Sony releases that for some reason missed the Blu-ray boat:

Wind Chill (2007) - Produced by George Clooney starring Emily Blunt.
When a Stranger Calls (2006) - $50m domestic box office

Alucard64 · 04-18-2015, 07:48 PM

I'm another one waiting for The Abyss but my addition to this list would be Ordinary People.

Gummo, Kids, Ken Park and Bully.

I am surprised that these relatively controversial movies haven't found their way to Blu-Ray.

Heck, add Elephant to that list.

Gummo is still one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen. It's so creepy in a way it's actually good.

I agree with this, great movie and it feels like someone should've released it by now.

And these two. I'm not even a huge fan, but I'm surprised they haven't been released on Blu-ray yet. I'd probably even buy Land Before Time, the childhood nostalgia is strong in that one.
