Top 10 favourite 90s films that haven't been released on Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

We already have a 60s, 70s, 80s thread, so I thought to start one about 90s.

Most of my favourite 90s films have been released.
Some other ones (in chronological order):

Stanley and Iris (1990)
The prince of Tides (1991)
White Fang (1991)
Free Willy (1993)
The Three Musketeers (1993)
True lies (1994)
Iron Will (1994)
Wilde (1997)
The prince of Egypt (1998)
Angela's Ashes (1999)


Also would like new restorations of Terminator 2 ,Bram Stoker's Dracula, Farewell my Concubine, the theatrical cut of JFK, and English friendly (with English subtitles) Blurays of Cyrano, Raise the Red Lantern, The Sheltering Sky and Little Buddha.

OK, I'll chip in with:

Doc Hollywood (1991): One of MJF's first post BTTF efforts and a pretty decent one too. Oh some of my fellow Christians complained about the total lack of a church in the small town of Grady but this was quite a entertaining story. And I have yet to mention the full-frontal of Julie Warner coming out of that lake. Wonder how much they had to pay Julie to get into that lake in the first place?

The Three Musketeers (Disney, 1991) Second this one. Even though there are better Three Musketeers films out, I'm a bit of a sucker for this one. Plenty of "pirate-style" adventure, Tim Curry and best of all, Rebecca DeMornay (who lights up any film she's in). Have the DVD but a well-done Blu would look real good. Oh I also did rather enjoy the 2012 remake with Gabriella Wilde (heart-stops).



Star Trek, Generations, Director's Cut if one exists (1994): If there is a Director's Cut for this one, I'd be very interested. Probably because this is probably my favorite post-TOS-characters movie. Of course no one knew the level of suckitude the franchise would descend too (Nemesis) but for me at this time, it looked real exciting.


Six Days, Seven Nights (1998): Harrison Ford & Anne Heche team up for one of the better films of 1998 not named after a famous shipwreck. However I still wanted to kick David Schwimmer's ass for the whiny-wimpy way he played his character.

I'm still waiting on these 90s gems:

Addams Family ValuesBrady Bunch Movie, The / A Very Brady SequelConeheadsDeliriousDracula: Dead and Loving ItDrop Dead GorgeousHot Shots! / Hot Shots! Part DeuxIron Giant, TheNaked Gun 2½Naked Gun 33 1/3

It's 10 titles, if you don't mind the two double features.

P.S. Oh! Also Cool Runnings (1993).

Would definitely buy PRINCE OF EGYPT. Kind of surprised it hasn't been made available on Blu yet. It did much better than SPIRIT which has recently been released on Blu. I think the parting of the Red Sea scene is great. I have made many people watch that.

I show it to the kids in my class during Passover. They always get a hoot out of that part.

I thought The Naked Gun & Hot Shots were already out on Blu, it looks like you have to import Hot Shots, but it's multi-region.

"The Prince of Tides" is neither about princes nor tides. Discuss.

Seconded on Cool Runnings (1993). Wonder what's holding up a Blu release, I mean it is Disney and Disney is pretty well known for getting quality Blus out on their live-action titles and.....
.
Oh
...
...
Wait.
...
...
Shucks, nevermind.

First the disclaimers. I could list a lot more than ten films but I'll stick to that quantity. Some of these are available in other regions, but my list pertains only to Region A releases. I've probably listed all of these titles from time to time on the HTF; but what is one more time? In no particular order:

The Sweet Hereafter
Lone Star
Princess Mononoke
Microcosmos
Black Robe
One False Move
Eve's Bayou
Lost Highway
Gods and Monsters
Romeo is Bleeding

- Walter.

In the film, "The Prince of Tides" is the title of a book of poetry written by Savannah and dedicated to Tom.

Yes, The Mirror has two faces would be great too!


I'm searching info on the Finnish Sabrina Bluray but I can't find any.

Was it cancelled?

Candyman (1992)

Secret Garden (1993)

A Little Princess (1995)

I'll chime in with a few:


Captain Ron (1992): Kurt Russell and Martin Short kill it in this one.


The Three Musketeers (Disney, 1993): For some odd reason, I just plain enjoy this Disney-produced telling of the story of D'Artangan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Oh and whoever the actress is that D'Artangan kisses in the pub was killer beautiful. I also enjoyed the 2011 remake.



Six Days, Seven Nights (1998): Why this is not yet on Blu is beyond me. One of Harrison Ford's best later efforts and his acting chemistry with Anne Heche was excellent.



Three Men And A Little Lady (1990): Pair it with Three Men And A Baby (1987) please.


Cool Runnings (1993): Disney keeps sleeping on the job with its live-action Blu releases, early films as well as more recent efforts. One of John Candy's last films and his most serious role.

Val kilmer's The Saint. I'd like to see a se that includes the alternate ending that was used in sneak previews.

A Brighter Summer Day (Edward Yang)

Satantango (Bela Tarr)

Through the Olive Trees (Abbas Kiarostami)

Lovers on the Bridge (Leos Carax)

Moving (Shinji Somai)

Before Sunrise (Richard Linklater)

The Puppetmaster (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)

Taboo (Nagisa Oshima)

Raise the Red Lantern (Zhang Yimou)

Hana-Bi (Takeshi Kitano)

Well, after the many replies in the 80s and other similar threads, I started to think that noone is interested in the 90s.

Thanks for your politeness.


I can't imagine what you would say if i had bumped a day old thread!

This was just 5 hours after the last post.

Val kilmer's The saint should be on Blu ray.
