A couple of people contacting Sony will fall on deaf ears. Sorry to say it, but it will accomplish nothing.

I forgot about this movie; its actually quite good. Great performances all around. I'd probably pick it up if ever released.

I watched the DVD two months ago.. I love the movie more every time I watch it. If they ever release it on Blu, I'll preorder it in a lightning speed!

One that should've been out on Blu-ray already. Love this movie.

Indeed. Hard to believe this far into the format, we are still waiting on this title. Compared to some other stuff already out on blu, I just have to shake my head.

My gal has BPD and so this is a movie that I can relate to personally. Surprised it's still not on blu.

How is a beloved Ryder/Jolie vehicle from a major studio not out on Blu-ray after all this time?

[Puppet35]

Ok

I wouldn't be surprised if Ryder's fall from grace years back affected the BD's chance back then. She was essentially exiled from Hollywood for over ten years. And now that she's back to respectability (thanks Stranger Things), Sony doesn't really release catalog titles anymore, except maybe a Choice Collection one now and then, and an occasional anniversary release for bigger films. It could end up with Mill Creek too perhaps. I'm not sure if it'd be a title on Criterion's radar.

Yeah, she apparently has bpd as well like her character in the movie. The funny thing is, my main celeb crushes growing up like Ryder, Ricci, and Jolie are all reportedly bpd. The crazier 'bad girl' chics with a reckless attitude and a wild streak have always been the type that I fall for despite how much they can emotionally drain you with all the hot/cold and constant I love you/please die type of attitude that they give you on a daily basis.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony releases this soon. Either late this year or next. It seems they keep releasing random titles so I have hope this one of those (another being Panic Room)

[Knrsa333]

I want this on blu ray so bad

Not surprised that GI is still not on Blu-ray. It's a superb film & one of my favorite '90's movies, but seems very underrated & underappreciated these days. You don't hear much discussion regarding this. However, here's hoping this gem will reach Blu one day. Though the DVD out there is acceptable - it would be nice to see this film remastered in HD.

Re: the conversation about BPD, after seeing GI multiple times - I am not convinced the W. Ryder character in the film was mentally ill. My strong impression was that her parents committed her to the institution because of her "radical" ideas - which were obviously similar to the way a lot of young people felt in the late '60's. Though this was before my time, I do remember hearing about the protests against the war (which was very unpopular at the time), the drug use, etc. - a lot of the younger "hippies" were rebelling against the older "establishment", and that came through very well in the film. I feel that WR's parents in the movie disagreed with her thought process & were trying to control her by institutionalizing her. But, I don't see her character as mentally ill - unless I'm missing something.

To me, that was one of the entire points of the movie - WR's parents (who represented "the establishment") were committing her because her ideas posed a threat to their very conservative lifestyle. Just my .02

After watching the film again it’s a shame that So y hasn’t released this on blu yet.
They’ve been re-releasing movies lately and it doesn’t make sense to me since there’s known stars in this like Jolie and Ryder, the director is getting more popular (Indy 5!), and with people caring about female representation this film checks that box.

I really hope it gets a release soon. This and Mangold’s debut film Heavy need to be on blu.

[HipsterTrash]

Seriously with Sony releasing more and more films occasionally, this should be getting a blu. Fingers crossed.

Wait, wasn't this already remastered? It's in HD on iTunes.

[MuffySimba]

I cannot even remember if I still own the DVD. It's definitely a film I would buy on Blu.

I am surprised this has never been released on Blu-ray before by Sony. Considering Jolie won the Oscar for her performance and she was amazing in it.
