How big is your movie library?
Before iTunes and downloadable media, I amassed about 500-600 DVDs. Honestly I appreciate the new technology, as I have multiple family members with iPads that also get to enjoy my library.
582 movies and counting... |

We are up to a bit over 1200 blu ray/4K titles.
Streaming is really convenient when the movie we want to watch is available. But there is no replacement for physical media IMO, particularly when viewing on a larger screen and/or in a dedicated theater with good audio. The lossless audio on blu rays is really worthwhile for many movies. You don't have to be an audiophile.... err fool, to appreciate the greater bit depth. Streaming in a good theater is largely lifeless by comparison but I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. We built a dedicated theater in the basement with a 165" screen, 4K HDR in a 7.2.2 setup. (final .2 is discreet Atmos height channels) Having physical media really makes it sound incredible and is very immersive/engaging. Scott

I ripped all our dvds and converted anything else non digital to digital years ago and put on drives. Between series and movies it's hundreds. But I've deleted alot of shit movies and series we never watched.

Virtually none - I rented DVDs for years when that was popular - now stream most movies I watch. I watch a LOT but I don't own. Why? Don't see the need to watch something again once I have seen it - with the rare exception of some concerts or classic movies I love.

Streaming.....I’ve heard about that. Unpossible on DSL.
If I’m lucky, I’ll record a movie on Direct TV and then watch it later, fast forwarding thru commercials. |

Have a few terabytes of movies/t.v. series saved on external drives. Got rid of physical space taking DVD's and such years ago.
But the answer to the OP is, literally thousands of movies. |

I have about 128 that I'm selling on FB for less than 50 cents apiece. I'm selling it as a lot for $50 to take them all. Don't know if this link will work:
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...code=undefined Wife and I kept over 100. |

One day I'll burn them all to storage for safe keeping but just 10 4k movies eats up 1T
I think a big benefit to owning media is that at some point in the future, what you may want to watch/hear will be unavailable; or "available at an extra price." I only buy movies that I want to watch more than once anyway. If it ain't good enough to watch again several years later, it probably wasn't a good movie worth buying. I kinda hate that we are becoming a society of renters without ownership. Some things make sense to rent, others, I want to own; like my cars. Scott

when I decided to sell all my laserdiscs & players... I copied every disc to Super VHS. It's about 400 lines of resolution... close to a standard DVD (but lacking digital audio).
Once my SVHS deck dies... that's it for that particular part of my collection. |
