algroth Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Kinda inspired by a convo I was having on another thread with Amentep. Do you guys collect films in any physical format? If so, feel free to share them here! Be it as a list, as pics or else. Feel free to comment on other people's lists too. Living in Argentina, it's pretty hard for me to get my hands on releases that are interesting, of good quality and accessible price-wise. Usually I'm limited to asking people who travel abroad if they can receive a few Amazon orders of mine. Either way, here's what I own... On blu-ray: Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Alien The American Friend Army of Shadows The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Batman Begins The Battle of Algiers Black Narcissus Branded to Kill A Brighter Summer Day Children of Paradise Citizen Kane A Clockwork Orange The Dark Knight Don't Look Now The Double Life of Veronique The Earrings of Madame de... The Emigrants / The New Land Hara-kiri If.... Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion Ivan's Childhood La Jetée / Sans Soleil Kwaidan Last Year in Marienbad The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Marketa Lazarová Paris Belongs to Us Persona The Red Circle Sansho the Bailiff Seven Samurai The Seventh Seal Solaris The Sword of Doom Vengeance Is Mine Five films by John Cassavetes The Complete Jacques Tati DVD: 300 Angel Heart An Autumn Tale Away from Her Babel Battleship Potemkin The Bicycle Thieves Big Bang Love Boogie el aceitoso Brazil Brothers El bruto Charlie Wilson's War Children of Men The Departed Dead of Alive 2: Birds Dr. No Election I Election II The Elephant Man Flags of Our Fathers The Hitcher The Hourglass Sanatorium The Host The Human Condition Inland Empire Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Leonera Letters from Iwo Jima Magnolia Moonraker Mulholland Dr. My Own Private Idaho Nazareno Cruz y el lobo The Night of the Living Dead No Country for Old Men Octopussy On the Way to School Othello (double program: Welles & Buchowetzki) The Purple Rose of Cairo ¿Quién dice que es fácil? Quixotic The Saragossa Manuscript Schindler's List Sling Blade The Sun Sunshine Tomorrow Never Dies That Obscure Object of Desire There Will Be Blood Three Colours: Blue Viridiana The Wayward Cloud The Wild Bunch The Wind that Shakes the Barley The Whore and the Whale Yesterday Once More You Only Live Twice Three films by Hiroshi Teshigahara Pigs, Pimps and Battleships: Three films by Shohei Imamura Late Ozu Carlos Saura's Flamenco trilogy The films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (El topo, The Holy Mountain, Fando y Lis) Most of the DVDs I remember getting from the rented bin at Blockbuster, it's the one thing I miss from the place now that it's gone. But yeah, this is it for the most part for me. 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have hudnreds. I'm not going to name all of them. Some of them I haven't even seen yet but saw them and they were cheap so I grabbed them. Avatar is just one example of that. L0L DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Blarghagh Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have two large moving boxes filled with cheap discount DVDs in storage. Not sure why I keep them. Haven't touched 'em in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Like Volourn I got 100's but mostly DVD and less than 10 blu-rays. Simply becaue I don't have a multi region blu-Ray player, so not buying any movies in that format “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

ShadySands Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I don't own any DVDs or Blu-rays I used to have a huge collection of DVDs but I lost them one way or another when I was in the military Kinda sad but I don't mess with any physical media anymore Edited February 23, 2017 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've gone mostly digital as well. I have about 30 movies that I keep in the RV, mostly baseball and kids movies, and then a few special ones that I keep for myself. That sounded wrong, I meant like Deadpool and Evil Dead. I've gone digital with the 'special' movies, of course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Kinda sad but I don't mess with any physical media anymore I don't either. Its almost a nuisance to me if I cant access it from my phone/tablet. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies of the kids you keep in the RV? >_> And yeah, some collections can certainly be too big to list down. I wish there was greater availability for films over here, but you often have to pay a boatload for pretty dire stuff.

Gfted1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It would be really cool if I could stick a DVD in my PC and upload it to my iTunes library like you can with music CD's. I was never so happy as the day I uploaded all my CD's and then threw them out the window.

Nowadays I mostly listen to stuff off of my CD collection than online, and I really dread thinking of getting rid of them some day.

I was never so happy as the day I uploaded all my CD's and then threw them out the window. Ripping and encoding BluRays is especially a hassle, especially when you consider that a single BluRay can often have as much as 70GB worth of content...which makes it so that, unlike music where you can just keep stuff in a lossless format (flac or alac or even wav), it's just not very practical to not re-encode it. It's just so much more resource-intensive and time-consuming than music to do video. ...Especially if you want to do it right. Doing bit-perfect copies of CDs is even a little bit of a hassle, but still nothing compared to BluRays. Edited February 24, 2017 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I just stream or download stuff. I've gone digital with the 'special' movies, of course.Let's be honest, almost everyone has and no one pays for that stuff. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have thousands that I haven't got around to watching. I've placed them into an Unwatched folder with sub folders (genres) , so if I want to watch a Western, War, Action, Sci-Fi, Drama, Horror movie, I can click on the folder and pick one. I then transfer that movie into my 'Watched' folder which also has the same genre sub-folders. Easy to keep track of what movie I've watched and what I haven't seen.
