Love to hear which ones I have that you love and others that maybe I should have but don't yet. If this were 20+ years ago I'd try turning this little collection into a tiny rental store. Oh well, instead I can be the weird guy who still collects movies.

I saw some great titles. One of my favs, Near Dark, is in there but not my favorite, Bottle Rocket.

I've almost bought Bottle Rocket during so many Criterion sales, shamefully my eyes always end up on some shinier criterion and sadly my criterion budget is only so big... one day, one day...

#11 I wasn't aware Dogma was ever released on Blueray.

In the long long ago of 2008 (and apparently 2012 as well) it was put on blu ray. I got it in a triple pack with Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Weinstein wants a bucket load to sell distribution rights of Dogma so it's currently in rights hell/purgatory.

There's something about browsing shelves for books and movies. I am fortunate to have a public library within walking distance that has an incredible selection of movies and music. Check yours out too!

'Zombieland' made it. You're good. As a fellow collector (for the eventual Jellyfin or Plex server), I am beyond envious. Stellar collection!

Thanks! Slow and steady, been building the collection since 2009.

I don't see Pulp Fiction. But Reservoir Dogs and Snatch are there so...it's probably in your DVD player.

I have the 4k, it's next to Punch Drunk Love. It's almost my favourite film of all time, top 5 for sure.

You have my fav (Fifth Element), but I didn’t see Shriek, If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th. It’s (in my opinion) the best spoof movie out there.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Haven't seen Shriek, sadly it's not on blu ray, my only dvd exceptions in the collection are Futurama, Simpsons and South Park due to nostalgia.

Keep the physical copies! Digital is only so you can't let your friend borrow a movie, but also to put all used media stores out of business

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I give my digital copies to friends who can't afford to maintain a collection or have dvd's or blu rays. Sadly that's most people i know.

I haven't made the full jump to blu-ray. But only because my dvd collection is about the size of your blu ray, I am just that bit older than you

I started with dvd, but almost exclusively burnt dvds from rentals at blockbuster and such, actually bought less than 10, but at my peak I had over 1500 movies or tv shows burnt to dvd. I still have to 8 to 900 in dvd binders of films I've yet to get on blu ray, but admittedly dvd binders aren't as nice to show off as shelves of dvds or blu rays.

This is why I keep it simple and alphabetical, I definitely have the urge to reorganize, separate the tv and the 4k and then maybe a section just for Criterions and... and you can see why I keep it alphabetical.

I'd recommend Throughly Modern Millie. It has a young Julie Andrews trying to make it in a mans world. It's a comedy/musical set in the 20's. Which has had a lot of people I've recommended it to hesitant to watch it, but they've all throughly enjoyed it at the end. None of them even realized it's 3 hours long until it was over. Some parts maybe haven't aged well, but it's all tongue in cheek and I think self aware? It also has Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing.

Thanks for the recommendation, might try to track it down, kino released it on blu ray just over 2 years ago.

My, how Blockbuster has changed!

A low key goal when I started was to have a better blu ray collection than blockbuster. When they went out of business my dream came true in the worst way. I still ache to browse a video store's aisles at 10pm on a Friday night.

And is Shit Together on blu ray or 4k? I'd love to check it out.

Nope. No UHF or Run Ronnie Run.....bummer

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

UHF I'm trying to find used, can be a pricey purchase, but is one I'm planning to get. Run Ronnie Run is sadly only on DVD. I think I have it burnt on DVD in my mr show section in my DVD binder, I rarely have reason to pull it out these days.

I've got that one on dvd, blu ray and 4k... sadly, no VHS

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Nice! I didn't know it was available on VHS.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yup! DVD was only introduced in 97, wasn't until the early 00's that studios slowly stopped offering vhs versions. The last vhs released was a history of violence in 2006. Also, I wasn't serious, I don't really want it on vhs. I've got ET on vhs and that's enough for me. Though I'm looking to add an HD DVD as a piece of history. Used place near me has a couple for sale, then I need to find a... laserdisc.

Mystery Men, Them, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Mean Guns, Hardboiled

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It pains me to not have Mystery Men, may get the 4k soon. I've got a burnt dvd of Manos and that's probably what that film deserves, Hardboiled is under K with the Killer in a double feature set and I can't say I've heard of Mean Guns.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Mean, guns is one of the most violent, zero bloodshed movies ever. Everyone seems to be full of cream. All of the blood effects are after the fact.

For what sounds like a very American film, it is ironically only available on blu ray in the UK, Germany and France. Germany really likes it, has had 3 blu ray releases there since 2015. Sadly unlike 4k discs, blu rays are region protected, so I'd need a region free blu ray player to watch those releases. Stupid capitalism.

Correct on all counts. The criterion side of my collection will never be as big as I'd like, just can't afford to collect'em all. At this point I'm waiting on Eraserhead to get a 4k release. Either I get the 4k, or buy the old blu for cheap off someone upgrading to the 4k. One day I will climb the Holy Mountain.
