Hi, my name is Joey. I have been collecting films for around 25 years now. I've curated a collection that sits at 1494 films currently. All genres are represented from essentially every era of Hollywood. I have a decent amount of foreign films thanks in great part to the Criterion Collection and other boutique labels.
I sort my collection by my preferences. Criterion and A24 occupy my first shelf. Then my favorite directors which I own the entire filmographies of are next: Those directors include Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wong Kar-wai, and Park Chan-wook. I am close to adding Billy Wilder to the favorite director section, just a few titles short. Then it is alphabatized blu-ray and then DVD. I do have some laser-discs in storage but do not have a current working laser disc player. They are hard to find in working condition these days.
Shout Factory recently started issuing some hard to find movies from Hong Kong. I am carefully selecting as many titles from this series as possible.

I started much later. During Covid I decided to upgrade the whole basement set up: 65 inch LG 4K, Dolby Atmos surround sound, 4K player and then from there it just made sense to start buying a few discs and that has turned into 554 blu rays or 4Ks. I also have a ton of eras and languages covered. The Criterion and Kino Lorber half off sales are huge and I have a ton from the Warner Archive. I’m just now trying to get a better system for organizing them. I have a Letterboxd list with them all. I have my criterion’s by their label number and all together. Sorting my KL and Warner by alpha and then I guess everyone else alpha as well? Not sure yet. Nicer box sets are on display with some other movie and sports memorabilia/items.
The collecting hobby has definitely taken off in the last few years and more and more boutique labels are putting out amazing editions. I love it even if it’s sort of insane.

Looks awesome. I've got the Jaws Lego set as well. A bunch of little Disney collectibles too because my kids loves that. My display is kind of in a middle state right now though. I got a nice space for them but I've outgrown it so I need to do some rethinking and I guess plan for how big it's going to get. Those Hong Kong Shout Factory include the John Woo stuff, right? That is what I really want.

Several years ago before streaming was big (or atleast before I started to stream, I might have been late to the game) I started buying some dvds so I'd have something to watch when cable was down (for a bit I had satilite cable and when it would storm it would go down) I mostly stopped when I started streaming but I need to start buying some more in case of whatever. I likely don't have NEARLY as much as you guys but I have
The Goonies
American History X
The Last Samurai
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Batman Begins
Idenity
I am Legend
Jurassic Park Collectors Edition which is the first 3 movies. I also have Jurassic World (both were gifts)
The Last Castle
Cloverfield
Donnie Darko
I also have season 1 and season 3 of Stargate SG-1 (gifted)
looks like I need to finish my LOTR trilogy and The Dark Knight and buy some other good movies

Was that yoda lego a set or something you made? I ask since my nephew really likes legos and I thought he might enjoy it. I bought him this one for his birthday. Maybe one day I'll buy him the Millennium Falcon one.

We downsized our physical movie collection a couple years ago. I amassed a very large collection of DVDs when I lived in the middle of nowhere Maine. I only had rabbit ears for public TV and no internet/cable/Dish for the whole time I was out there. I'd stop at the Movie Gallery almost weekly and buy 5-10 of their $5 used DVDs and watch them throughout the week. Eventually the cases became too much, so I put them in the large flip binders.
I had a garage sale and put the whole lot for sale for $50 and someone bought it. I'd guess it was about four to five hundred DVDs mainly films from the early 2000s.
I still have a couple working DVD players and maybe 50 movies still. A lot of Pixar/Dreamworks stuff that the kids enjoyed. Band of Brothers, All the seasons of Dexter (wife wouldn't part with them), a lot of Christmas themed movies and then a handful of random handful of action, comedy and horror that only get put on when the internet is down.
I couldn't tell you the last movie we physically purchased. It's been years at this point.

You know i searched every thing on collecting and the Criterion thread didn't come up but that is a perfect place. I don't want to start something that already exists ya, know
It was a set. It is out of print now BUT I've also done this build and it is really similar although Yoda isn't exactly Grogu

i have a vhs tape of in fishermans advanced smallmouth bass from about 1985 i think and it features al lindner now that is back before old al found god and made half of his fishing show about bible verses and stuff and i think he even swears at a bass or two and maybe takes the lord name in vain in this one so it is one of the best because it helps you understand the evolution of the man into the legend that he is today take that to the lake bank bromigos

It’s all good, that wasn’t too active so this is more all encompassing

Currently watching it on Amazon. Only on the first season. Hitch is a funny host!
I sold the last of my physical media when we moved in 2021. I had a couple hundred CD's but only like a dozen dvd's.

Hoard physical media. There is zero guarantee that streaming providers won't as a collective collude and say we'll stop providing access to this product for whatever reason. Or just that the one I have loses the rights to the product I want and I need to play whack a mole to continue watching. They can't remove my actual disc.

Yep and if you bought it digitally, you don’t own it. You have the right to license it from the company and that could change in the future.
