10 Amazing Movies Never Released on Blu-ray (or DVD)
Ойын-сауық
It used to be said that every movie, no matter how badly it did at the box office or critically, went to heaven. Heaven, of course, meant physical media. First, it was VHS, then it was Laserdisc, then DVD, Blu-ray, and now 4K Blu-rays; every movie would get some kind of physical media release. After all, rentals and sales were important to a film’s profitability. In fact, some movies that tanked theatrically did so well on DVD that they became perennials, such as Donnie Darko or The Transporter, with the DVD sales of that movie directly influencing the studio to greenlight a sequel and give Jason Statham a legit career as an action star.
Yet, despite physical media making a comeback, it’s worth noting that some of the most popular movies in recent memory have never gotten a physical media release. And we’re not only talking about movies that all but disappeared when they hit streaming. Oscar winners aren’t getting released on physical media. In fact, the only streaming movies that reliably hit Blu-ray are the ones Netflix lets Criterion put out. Still, unless your name is Martin Scorsese or Noah Baumbach, so many HUGE movies, like the theatrical hit Barbarian, haven’t gotten physical media releases, so let’s take a look at ten that REALLY need some kind of physical release

Eh, I can live without "The Gray Man" or "6 Underground" on physical media. But, I would like to see "Glass Onion" get a physical release. I would also like to see "First They Killed My Father" get a physical release, even though that movie wasn't mentioned in this video. That's a really good and underrated, a very dark and depressing movie if the title wasn't any indication.

I'm not trolling, and I liked Knives Out, but I just did not care for Glass Onion. Maybe I should go back and give it another chance...but all the love it gets is really perplexing to me...eh, different strokes for different folks!
The Killer and Extraction 1 & 2 should absolutely be available for purchase.

The way streaming services leave truckloads of money on the table continues to baffle me financially and as a movie fan. Do streamers really want to destroy film collections and preservation while also making less money? Great business plan 🙄

I'm no expert on the business side of these things, but I'm pretty sure the streamers don't directly earn money off of each physical unit sold. They license the movie to separate distributors. Yes, this represents a lot of short-term revenue, but their business plan is specifically focused on streaming. If they believe that licensing everything for physical release will have an adverse impact on subscriber growth, then they're going to leave that money on the table in order to tell consumers, "You have to get the product direct from us. You can't buy it second-hand."

@@ChunAsperEndao many of the traditional studios do license out the physical media rights to places like Arrow Video and Vinegar Syndrome, but they don’t have to. If they were serious, they could develop their own in-house disc production. While this would incur development costs, it’s not as though there isn’t a profitable market. DVD still reigns in places where internet access is limited

I think it bears mentioning that not all that long ago, Netflix still released most of its original content on physical media, if only to make it available both to streaming subscribers and people who were still getting discs by mail. Then not only did they stop doing that; they shut down their DVD Netflix service last year. I don't think it's a coincidence that this closely coincided with their crackdown on password sharing and the sudden prevalence of streaming services removing and writing off their own properties. I'm really concerned about the impact that it's going to have on physical media as a whole, because DVD Netflix represented at least a handful of guaranteed sales for most new releases. I worry that without a rental market to stimulate long-term interest, distributors are going to be a lot less willing to gamble on physical releases, regardless of any perceived "comeback" for Blu-Ray and 4K. And I'm like 95 percent sure that this is all by design. When investors started getting squirrely, Netflix shut down physical distribution to send the message that a streaming subscription will be the only way of accessing new releases. Neither they nor any other streamer wants to make "extra" money from discs. Physical media is a threat to their business model and they want it gone..

I'd buy Extraction 1 and 2 in a heartbeat if they're available on the 4k disc. The compressed Atmos sounded like trash on Netflix. My wish list is Fincher's The Killer. It looked and sounded great on Netflix, but it will be even better on lossless 4k disc. Another wish list is The Tomorrow War. The picture and sound quality are trash on Prime.
Greyhound, the Apple TV + movie with Tom Hanks. Awesome movie, still not on bluray.

Let's hope now that the caviate of when buying something via streaming doesn't necessarily mean you own anything. This is an incentive for physical media to have something of a renaissance (applies to music & games as well)

There is still plenty of downloadable media with purchase. I buy digital when on sale all the time. 1080p (in the case of some old movies, 480). Over 4.5k movies in my collection I can access via my NAS server, without having to rely on the Internet all the time and without having to dedicate a whole room of my house to physical media.

I would definitely get all those on Blu-ray if available....Also hoping for 1. Greyhound 2. The Highwaymen 3. Spectral 4. Mosul 5. Bird Box 6. The Tomorrow War
Bizarre that extraction 1 & 2 aren't on dvd. those movies are awesome!
There is one movie that should be on the list, and it wasn't even made for streaming on any platform like most of the movies on the list, I'm talking about the anime movie The First Slam Dunk which originally came out in theaters in 2022. Not only is it still not out yet on dvd and bluray, but it's not available to stream either(I'm referring to the option where you pay 20 dollars just to stream a movie).
Don't Look Up!
Absolutely agree with this list, I'd buy 8 out of 10 of these, plus Charlize Theron's The Old Guard, and Gal Gadot's recent Heart of Stone. They should keep their streaming exclusive 'window' about at year's length, and afterwards release it on disc as subscriptions then would be minimal for them, much more in physical sales.
Red Notice and What Happened To Monday are a few I'd add. Maybe even the Army of Thieves and Army of the Dead. Oddly enough Netflix released The Man From Toronto onto DVD after it came out. It's a terrible movie but they released it. Was that a NF exclusive?
I was surprised to not see The Ritual or Hush on this list!
If they released those action movies on physical media 6 weeks after the streaming release I'd bet both 6 Underground and Gray Man would hence sequels in the works by now.
Looking at the bright side, streaming services is remastering movies people barely ever heard of to 1080p, but were never on DVD and Blu-Ray. Even Captain America 1990 were remastered to 1080p. Anyway. True Lies and The Abyss is finally coming to Blu-Ray and 4K UHD worldwide next month. Aliens finally gets a 4K release too.
I would totally buy the "Extraction" flicks and "6 Underground". Keeping these exclusively on streaming is why I tend to not subscribe and just stream everything online. I'm not contributing to the death of physical media. Plus, 95% of everything streaming services make is complete shit. Yeah, Disney and Amazon, looking right at you.
3:47 Ryan Gosling is already popular even before The Gray Man.
It's not that horror fans necessarily love physical media, it's that horror movies get butchered on TV and even sometimes when streamed.
I just checked & can purchase every single one of these films in physical format here in the UK 😊
It's a crime that Barbarian isn't available on Blu Ray but The Boogeyman is...
Outlaw King isn't the sequel to Braveheart, it's Robert the Bruce that's the sequel. They are both about the same guy at the same time.
You say this but I can think of one at least that hasn't been released on DVD "Through the eyes of a killer" for one
It will probably be more common with streaming
Sweetheart 2019, streaming only and a nice lil gem of niche tropical horror.
all great but I feel like triple frontier is sooo underrated. great filum.

The sea beast. The Magicians Elephant. Leave the world behind. I'd scoop these up if I could.
Army of the Dead for sure would be my top pick.
You mentioned Scorsese. Where is the "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" blu-ray?
Off the Netflix movies i have seen are not many that become classic plus the series are not muts beter.... Only the Blue Eyed Samurai is a great cartoon serie. May be it will be beter but i find the real feelings of movies you only feel in the cinema. I am a collector of fine action, war, western and martial arts movies 🎬🎥 around 3000 and more coming. Greetings from the Netherlands 👍
_Josh and S.A.M._ has never gotten a DVD release, let alone Blu-ray. Let Kino Lorber or Shout! Studio do a Blu-ray release
Army of the Dead, saw it in the theater. Has a prequel and possible short seriesi n the works,
The King I felt was the better of the two medieval Netflix features. But I can only base this on the versions I’ve seen. Outlaw King had some great costume design though. But yes, Netflix should certainly be offering and marketing blue Ray orders for their films and shows. Why leave all that money on the table!? I’ve even wondered they don’t have exclusive theatre releases for their movies with some kind of special offer for their subscribers.. it’s a shame they are so set in their ways Extraction 1 and 2 would absolutely be on my shelf and I would have watched Extraction 2 in the cinema
Barbarian ❤ Great horror movie It. Vs jeeper creeper
I will never understand how films like Dolomite is My Name or Glass Onion or especially Barbarian aren't on home media right now. If there were any other streaming films that deserve a home media release, I'd say The Tragedy of Macbeth and Da 5 Bloods

Oddly Barbarian was a theatrical movie, not one made for streaming yet it had no physical releases. Typically theatrical release movies get physical releases. Especially with how popular that one was.
I have wandavision on blu ray, I hope they make more
I haven't seen any of these, because I don't stream. For me, If there is no theatrical or physical release, the movie simply doesn't exist
Not technically a film, but I'd love to see winding refn's too old to die young on physical media.
Need a physical release of Hulu's Palm Springs, one of the best romantic comedies of the 21st century. 6 Underground? That makes me want to profusely vomit.
Black summer would be nice

The way it should be: Streaming = Theatrical release. After six months the movie should get a physical release.
The age of downloading has begun (again), better, cheaper, no several streaming costs, no protection.
