Hunting for physical media is one of my favorite pass times. Very comforting

My husband and I have a pretty good size dvd collection probably 100-200 if I had to guess. However my uncle passed away 1yr ago and I choose to inherit his dvd collect, which is about 2, 000 😮. They’re currently in boxes, but I’m so excited to have them out one day. He was single, never married, and no children so that’s what he spent money on. I have a dream of potently opening a video rental store one day and being able to share them with others who also miss renting actual movies. ❤

I love physical media soo much. I’m probably one of the only 17 year olds collecting horror movies

It makes me so happy that physical is resurging in social media now that people are becoming more aware of the dangers of streaming

Another source for DVDs and CDs is library book stores. Most libraries have them. I usually go to the main branch. They sell them for $1 either a movie or a set. The other day I found some that were still in their original wrapping.

This video just EMANATES cozy, fall, vibes. Felt really comforting!

i work at a thrift store and am always amazed at the little treasures i find in the CD and DVD sections, unfortunately because i work there i can’t shop there so i’m always really excited when other people find and buy them. side note but working at a thrift store where i’m not allowed to shop has really helped with my scarcity mindset when it comes to thrifting… guys there will ALWAYS be another version of the thing you find second hand, if you can’t get it right now don’t fear you will be able to find it again

“the cave” secondhand store looks SO cool, if i lived near there i would be there all the time lol

Thank you for bringing us along for the hunt ❤ Building a DVD collection is also a hobby I love

[CobyV]

It's honestly a blessing to see you still collect physical media. It really does make me feel better to know that collectors still love to get as many movies as possible. It's great that movie influencers and fans like yourself help us movie lovers have hope that physical media is not ready to die yet. I still collect physical media to this day and i love my huge collection of movies. Loved this video! Keep up the great work ❤

Such a fun idea for a video!! Please do more of these for books and/or music too!

[thejenmath]

Hip hip hooray for physical media! No one in my life understands why I still buy blu-rays and DVDs, but you summed it up. And yeah, nothing can beat their special features. I still love to watch the movie with the director’s commentary.

[DanielMartActor]

Please keep doing videos like this! I've been collecting movies since i was 12-13 (25 now), seeing collection videos like these is always so comforting

I thought I was the only person who loved the movie Before I Fall. SUPER underrated. BANGING soundtrack. Nuanced characters. Bold ending. Loved it.

[cayanne]

I love thriftbooks! And I agree, while streaming is pretty convenient, I much prefer having physical media! Just knowing I have this and it's mine, nobody can take it, is a nice feeling. And watching special features is so unique and fun.

[KarintheninJa]

I am literally salivating at the sight of the size of the selections in these stores. I have nothing like this anywhere near me 😭 I’m now living vicariously through this video

[xghoulishgalx]

DVDs reign supreme! My collection is somewhere around 4000-5000 - all DVDs because many have never gotten a Blu-ray release in Australia or were the more affordable option

[Meowlo]

The delayed gratification comment is so true. I've been trying to build up my book library with older editions by thrifting more than buying them for a markup on something like pango...and when I manage to hunt one down, it feels like such an accomplishment.

Cursed is a fun movie that happened to be absolute CHAOS behind the scenes. Worth reading the Wikipedia page on the production.
