Can someone tell me if these Blu-rays are on Netflix? (1 Viewer)

I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this here. Can anyone who is a current Blu-ray subscriber of Netflix tell me if the Blu-rays below are available to rent on Netflix? As Netflix members know, you have to be a Blu-ray subscriber to actually see what Blu-rays are available. And it's really unpredictable when Netflix actually puts a Blu-ray in stock. Some are available shortly upon release. Some take a long time after release. And some are just never available. I subscribed a while ago, and quite a few of these were not available. I wouldn't want to pay for another $20 subscription only to find out that Netflix still doesn't have a majority of these. Can someone tell me if these are available?

As you see, quite a few of these BDs have been out a long time, so I really hope Netflix has them this time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Are the ones you did not highlight not on Netflix then? If that's the case, I'm really disappointed that still only so few are available. Btw, just curious: is Netflix still showing that Blu-ray logo on the product page of The Twilight Zone or have they fixed it?

You only asked if they were available in Blu-ray. As for the non-highlighted ones, most are on DVD but some aren't available at all. There is no longer a Blu-ray logo on Twilight Zone, however TZ is available for streaming in HD.

That is correct. Out of that entire list, only seven were available on Blu-ray, however Total Recall is also available on Blu-ray but I didn't highlight it because it's the old BD not the newer one which you were asking about. Netflix does not carry very many catalog Blu-rays.

Thanks again, even though this is very disappointing news indeed.

Below is a list of BDs that I was able to rent at Netflix a few months ago, in case it could benefit others. Some are movie-only rental copies only, but most of what I have rented were full discs. Bonus-only Blu-ray discs are rarely stocked; we could only rent the corresponding SD DVD bonus disc, if there is one. Netflix does seem to stock a variety of Blu-rays, from Criterions to new studio releases, but you just can't count on them to have everything in a timely fashion.
