Wojo 2,453 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Wow. I never even attempted to finish upgrading all my DVDs to Blu-ray. Though I am starting to rip them into MKV so I can whittle down the physical presence. I will start buying 4K only when it's the only option.

I like owning the CDs and movies that I love. But seeing pictures like this makes me not want to buy any more physical media at all.. talk about accumulating a lot of CRAP! BTW, when is Jaws 4K coming out? I have to buy that one for the third time in my life... bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Years ago, I owned more Harry Potter copies than any sane person would ever have bought.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I will get War of the Worlds on blu when it comes out. I wont be purchasing War of the Worlds the SS version There is nothing boring about either film and the 1953 version is a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The novel is great. Of course, the best version of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS was released in the summer of 1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 OK, so I went for Jaws 4K. In the LE Blu-ray there was a little booklet that - despite all the fluff marketing texts - I really liked it. Since I wanted to upgrade without throwing it out (it’s attached in the hardcover packaging) I went for the LE of the 4K as well, since it comes with a complete copy of the same.

Thor 7,478 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 None. As opposed to my CD collection, my physical film collection never really got off the ground. I bought a few sporadical VHSes from the mid 90s to the early 2000s, then gave or sold them away (probably some 50 in total). Then I started buying the odd DVD, but some years back I had to stop that too (guess I have about 100 now; maybe less after I gave away a whole bunch to a local flea market). Blu-rays, I guess I only have 2-3! Some of it has to do with money, some with space concerns (I live in a tiny one-room apartment). If, at some point, I get rich and own a big apartment/house, I might want to try proper film collecting again. Whether that is 4K UHD or whatever is the latest technology at that time. But I doubt it will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't own a single 4K film, and my TV is only 2K. 3 minutes ago, Thor said: If, at some point, I get rich and own a big apartment/house, I might want to try proper film collecting again.

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I never bought any movies in VHS, although I guess I was the target group for the Star Wars OT re-release when it came out, I had friends who bought them. When the DVD format was introduced I invested in a home theater system and I guess I had an ok “library”, maybe about a 100 discs. A handful of them I updated for the BD format, but not many. When Netflix and 4K came around I through out all my DVDs, keeping only the BDs. That’s why, for example, I don’t own Star Wars on physical media anymore. But having lived in three eras of buying movies - DVD, BD and 4K - I have the feeling that from now on I’ll be buying less and less “new” movies. I’ll just keep buying the same old movies that I grew up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The Star Wars trilogy and Jurassic Park I have on both VHS and DVD. The SW trilogy is widescreen and pre-SE! The Bridge on the River Kwai, Casablanca, and To Catch a Thief I have on both DVD and BR. Add to that several more Hitchcock films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I am thinking of buying the Hitchcock collection on 4K, there are movies I haven’t seen in spite of considering my self a “movie buff”, and I guess they’re all movies you can come back to now and again.

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I see this contains the premiere home release of the uncut Psycho! I didn't even know that all the releases so far have been cut. I have the 14 disc Hitchcock BR collection, which can be found quite cheap, but the quality of the transfers are hit and miss (not to say a mess). rough cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
