      Almost anyting is available on Blu-ray. In some cases DVDs are available and more than good enough.

      F.e. Meet the Feebles was a very low budget production, where the source material is below DVD resolution.

      Here you can order Alien Space Avenger (DVD):

      https://www.twistedanger.com/alien-space-avenger

      Operation Condor also had some Blu-ray releases in A + B regions (plus a lot of DVD releases)

      Unfortunately, Operation Condor is now OOP ever since Viacom bought Miramax. The Iron Monkey is also OOP ever since the acquisition. It's a shame, I've been meaning to pick up both on blu-ray.

      Oddly enough, some "newer" classics, cult or otherwise have yet to be released on blu-ray. Panic Room, True Lies and The Abyss have shockingly never been released on blu-ray in any format. They've had a rumored blu-ray/4K release for some time, and it still hasn't happened yet.

          Mosquito 1995 scene is too much especially 3:27 mark, I saw this scene when I was 6 years old traumatizing would not wish any kid to watch mosquito 1995 those mosquitos are huge size of a mountain lion. Those that can stomach click on watch on youtube.

                  Because Blu-ray never supplanted DVD. Yeah, there is a lot of VHS content that never even made it to DVD. But it would be more likely to make it to DVD than VHS.
                  Blu-ray is not niche, but it's not the earth-shattering success of VHS and DVD. Ultra HD Blu-ray is niche. It's more mainstream than Laserdisc and some other formats, but it will never reach Blu-ray levels, let alone VHS or DVD.
                  Digital distribution seems to be the mass market successor to DVD.

                      Here's a movie that I own Indiana Jones Raiders of the lost ark on blue ray it's 8.4 on IMDB I really loved this movie.

                      Another amazing movie, A few good men. IMDB has it in 7.7 Favorite quote "you want the truth? You can't handle the truth!" Uncles made me watch this movie

                      Powerful emotional scene

                          Digital killed BluRay. People are tired of upgrading, from VHS to DVD to BluRay then 4K, soon 8K will come.

                          BluRay is over kill in capacity that was designed for a shitty MPG2 codec h264 and h265 are far better compressions and take up less space for same quality in the digital world at 1080p.

                              I guess I don't know where to get Digital except the 4k Blueray + Digital combo? But most older movies before 2000 finding them in the next format 8k and Digital only will get harder. :(

                                  Streaming services lol. Lot of people don't care about ownership anymore because they already bough their favourite movies several times. don't forget their was VCD in between VHS and DVD lol. Glad that didn't last long the quality was shocking unless you wanted 3 or 4 discs for one movie lol.

                                      I recommend American History X for a lonely watch rental didn't know It's 8.5 my uncles had this movie , Movie is about a White supremist that goes to jail because he killed people I like that robbed his truck , the movie is not for anybody, its way to deep and hurtful emotional movie click watch on youtube on own risk Minorities don't watch this movie. Even though I'm a minority too but I can stomach it but it's a disgusting movie I will not want to this movie hate Neo Nazi but the story was too intense It glued me . My uncles are minorities don't know why they had this but I don't want to own this movie, Though the story is deep.

                                      Also recommend Resovoir Dogs 8.3 on IMDB
