Been collecting for a few years, almost all from local yard sales, thrift shops, library sales...I love the treasure hunt feeling and randomly finding good things for so cheap.

But... almost 1000 dvds in, I'm starting to see so many of the same discs out there, and it's hard to find the movies I really, really want.

At what point do you bite the bullet and just start getting exactly what you want from Amazon or Ebay or another source?

Was so happy to get the transformers the movie 40th anniversary. Mostly because the dvd one i own is over 20 years old and need a new copy

I thought finding Steven Spielberg's first feature film was a nice find, but then i did a Google image search of the shelves and asked Google which videos in used condition would sell on ebay for over $15. It identified a few duds, but i think it gave enough hits to give me a profit from my hobby.

I’ve authored (programmed) thousands of commercial DVDs replicated into millions of copies, for record companies and movie studios you recognize.

For example, Silence of the Lambs for Criterion.

I won’t mince words, I fucking hate eco cases. Picking up a title and feeling it flex and squish in a light grasp really kills the sensory aspect of the DVD experience. On titles I’ve thrifted that I especially enjoy I have swapped the disc and cover into sturdier cases from movies I like less.

Does anyone else do this? Does anyone know any good sources of cheap sturdy replacement cases?

Seems to be a collection of the feature film discs from the Ultimate Edition set. But… Why did it leave out Tomorrow Never Dies? Who was its target buyer? And most importantly… why does it exist? (I’m genuinely baffled and intrigued at the same time 😅).

My family and I used to have tons of DVDs when I was a kid, and I wanted to get back into that. What do you guys think?

What movies do you own on DVD and you are sad that that never got a Blu-ray release?

For me it's Adventures of Pluto Nash with Eddie Murphy, Encino Man with Pauly Shore and Sean Austin, Freddy Got Fingered with Tom Green, If Looks Could Kill with Richard Grieco, In The Army Now with Pauly Shore and Andy Dick, and Son In Law with Pauly Shore and Carla Gugino.

With a shout-out to The Distinguished Gentleman with Eddie Murphy. I don't own the DVD, but it's 1 I look for whenever I go thrifting, but would also love to see a Blu-ray release of it.

Bit the bullet and ordered online and got a good deal on vinted after finding the other two at goodwill a couple weeks ago

Found a couple of more DVDs in the $5 bin to add to my collection. I got Pacific Rim 2-Movie Collection and The Year Without A Santa Claus Deluxe Edition. I also happen to come across The Incredible Hulk complete series on Blu-ray for around $50 while looking at box set sections. I looked it up on Amazon to compare prices, and it was no longer available except from 3rd party sellers with the lowest price being around $70, so I snatched it up immediately.

Hugh Jackman gives what may be a career best performance here, and the rest of the incredible cast give it their all too. Villeneuve and Deakins do incredible work together to make this movie a joy to look at. I just wish it had a 4K Blu-ray available!

I’m feeling indecisive today and I grabbed far too many of my favourites this week to know what I actually fancy watching tonight

The only delivery was my backer copy of Legend of the White Dragon. Everything else I bought from McKays in Nashville.

I’ve been looking for The Descent for a while and so happy I finally found one in good condition.

Love me some dvds for pre 2010, wideacreen a must.
