Physical Media is a distant memory to many but an important archival effort for others. Streaming Services have been gaining so much ground in the Home Entertainment market thas is making retailers leave.
The absence of physical media creates a place where these services are the ones to choose what can be shown on their platforms, they have the ability to censor or “update for modern sensibilities” depending on if it would give them more money and fewer problems on Social Media.
Mexico’s film history is admired outside the country and fondly remembered with the Golden Era of Mexican movies sadly there are few physical releases of catalog content, particularly pre-2000s movies. During the heyday of DVDs many companies like Zima dedicated part of their catalog to releasing Mexican movies on DVD, of course, in bad quality and sometimes unrestored.
Nowadays, it seems nobody in the country actually cares about these movies. If they are newly restored they go to American companies to put on Blu-Ray or go directly to platforms like Amazon Prime Video where they get hidden with the amount of content that is weekly added.
This article pretends to list all the Mexican movies on Blu-ray made before the 2000s. To be included in the list they need to be presented in their original Spanish language. Movies like La Mujer Murcielago (The Batwoman) are not included. They must also be in the Blu-Ray Region A.
This list includes links to the official pages or to Bluray.com, from there one can search on Amazon or another store.
