I guess I'm super old-fashioned, but my movie collection consists of 95% DVDs and 5% Blu-Rays. DVD quality is still perfectly fine in my book. I'm very close to the 1000 mark which is really exciting. I love having physical copies of all movies that I like and I pray their manufacturing won't end anytime soon.
I wanna see how many DVDs our collections have/had in common: 1) Cinderella (1950) 2) Halloween (2007) 3) Friday 13th (2009) 4) Sleepy Hollow 5) Finding Nemo 6) Mulan: Don't ever under any circumstances watch 'Mulan 2'! It's atrocious. 7) Knocked Up 8) Sword in the Stone 9) It (1990) 10) Pretty Woman 11) Aristocats 12) The Land Before Time: Still makes me cry every time I watch it. 13) The Little Mermaid: A freaking masterpiece! 14) Mary Poppins 15) Twister 16) Nightmare Before Christmas 17) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003): I love that movie! 18) What's Eating Gilbert Grape 19) Aladdin: King of Thieves 20) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 21) "Another Harry Potter Movie" 22) Aladdin 23) The Mask 24) Liar Liar 25) From Hell 26) Adaptation 27) Green Mile 28) Dances With Wolves 29) There's Something About Mary 30) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
I used to be like you and only value my Blu Rays, but I developed a new found appreciation for DVDs. Sometimes there's just a nostalgic quality to them, and you don't need to watch the movie in HD. It depends on the movie, but it's almost like a less extreme version of appreciating VHS tapes.
Why collect to get rid of them? A high amount of the population already hates DVDs so why should the collectors who appreciate them fall into that category?
Great collection John! You have more DVDs than I thought you would. It was nice seeing this collection one last time. This was like seeing the original Star Wars one last time on VHS. The end of an era.
I keep em in dvd binders. Streaming changes all the time, so a movie or series is available one day and then it’s not. I refuse to pay 4-5 bucks to rent a movie online, and it’s good to have physical dvds when the internet goes out.
The man. The myth. The legend. Magical and mystical collection, my dude. Ive finally almost replaced all my dvds with Blus at this point. All that I care to anyway.
I loved watching your old flick trip videos where you would go from store to store to find these movies. Great Videos. Highly enjoyable. Been subbed to you since pretty much the beginning. Good to see you're still making vids
I would love to go on a roadtrip with you and you do all the talking, no one can accuse you of being boring. Love your descriptions and your impersonations.
90% of my collection are blu rays 10% of my other collection are DVD's I do miss the days when DVD's were revolutionary and owning 1 DVD for like £20 - £25 brand new was considered by many to be a luxury. Nowadays in 2020 they're like old items that everyone throws away like old clothes. I do own some DVD's that are like special collectors edition with the beautiful artwork. Some other DVD's are older movies that I grew up with like the Matrix movies. The DVD's are still available in many charity shops that I visit once a while to see if anything special is there. Shockingly enough I don't own any 4K Movies as of right now. They're just soo extremely overpriced, I just don't want to waste a lot of money when the Blu-rays still have great quality picture.
I use to love this channel. I miss the personality. I lost interest in movies cause I had a kid but man I use to watch your videos all day. Glad to see your good
Good to see you do a DVD collection vid. Very retro. I still collect the format myself (or did before Covid-19 anyway), having only upgraded to Blu ray last summer. DVD served us well. It was such a huge step forward from VHS.
Fun fact about the movie Shocker, I remembered the movie because of you and Stuckmann talked about it on a Halloween video special. It triggered the memory of final TV fight. Hey I saw you on TV!!! I was may be 6 or 7 yo at the time my parents were watching it. And Today you mention the movie in your DVD collection
I still own all of my DVDs. I've started upgrading to Blu Rays in recent years and I only get 4Ks if there is a store exclusive that I like, such as a Best Buy steelbook or Target exclusive. I'm not a 4K fan. I just want the movie and the bonus features. The DVD and BR quality is good for me.
I still keep my DVD's because I love DVD's, especially their original releases that I prefer (which were released long time ago back in the 2000's decade). 😌
I cleared out my DVD collection a while back. Kept a lot of the ones that just weren’t worth upgrading to Blu-Ray, but got some CD books to put them in to clear out the shelf space.
Bill and teds excellent adventure is out on bluray, here in Australia they released it in an old VHS box, it came with postcards, a t-shirt transfer and a mini poster :) so cool
RE your Superman collection - "I sort of secretly enjoy the Richard Pryor one." As do I, John. You're the first other person I've encountered on the Internet willing to admit to liking that one.
Man the Mark Wahlberg impression is getting better every time dude ! Another great vid ! You have some great classics in there ! A mans dvd / blu ray collection can never go wrong with a majority 1980’s slapstick John Candy films in there ! Keep the vids coming John 👍🏽💪🏼
Some fun stuff here, John. Keep the DVDs you love and that you won't upgrade to Blu-ray/4K. For example, Explorers - classic kids movie and there is no blu-ray anywhere in the world. I have a six year old now (though I didn't when I first started watching your channel!) and have shown it to him multiple times, along with Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, Goonies etc. That's why you keep those editions.
@ 28:57 Super Mario Bros. movie and Jurassic Park came out around the same time in theaters. I was 7 years old at the time, and wanted my father to take me to go see the Super Mario Bros. film but he said "no we are going to see Jurassic Park." GOOD CALL.
I have about 10 dvds left which are ones I can't get on Blu-ray still. Everything else has gone. I also got rid of alot of my blurays last time I moved so I now try to keep my collection to my core favourite movies only as it got out of hand at one point and I don't want to go back there again
The Sean Penn Bad Boys flick was worth watching just to see the head guard from Shawshank getting bashed with a pillowcase stuffed with full soda cans.
The only DVDs I've kept are either old school collector's editions, and movies that don't have a blu ray release (The Village, Be Kind Rewind, Homicide etc.)
Both the Bill and Ted films are on bluray. There is a standard edition for the first film and a special collectors editoon for both films in a mini box set from shout factory.
11:30 okay John, yeah, they play A Christmas Story every year, but when I watched it, the network cut out everything. The network cut out the part where he actually gets the gun, the part where he shoots his eye out, and the Chinese Diner scene. Also… 16:39 I love Sling Blade. One of my favorites.
