These are the films I enjoy which I consider to be arthouse/experiential films. In order to be considered they must a) have a non-linear/subjective storyline, b) strong imagery, and c) not made for mainstream audiences. If anyone has suggestions for other titles I'm definitely open.

Includes sequels, remakes, prequels, reboots, spin-offs, loose sequels/remakes, etc.

The following is a list of films that never received an official release in their uncut form, or "director's cut" if you will. While it is widely known that director's rarely have "final cut" on their film, they hopefully get to release their preferred version out of the material that was shot, without interference from a studio or the MPAA. This list includes films in which a director completed their preferred cut of the film, but this version was ultimately compromised to obtain a specific rating or appease producers. In some cases, the cut footage was lost, but in others, the footage exists on some home video releases in other countries or the money has not been spent to re-insert it back into the film. Some of these films received uncut releases on VHS in the US, but I've included all films that have not received an uncut release on either DVD or Blu-ray in the US.

Most of the information gathered to populate this list was taken from the trivia section on IMDb, Wikipedia or movie-censorship.com.

This is a growing list so if you can think of a title I left out then feel free to leave a comment and I will add. When a film is added or removed it will be noted here:

US releases only

The following is a list of horror movies that have never been released on blu-ray in the US. This list does not include movies that were on blu-ray but are now out-of-print. Some of these movies have never even received a DVD release in the US so a blu-ray release would be a significant upgrade.
