My bluray and dvd movie collection, feel free to add your own

[Robstyley]

That's a great collection you've got there Grinchy I share your passion mate. I've been collecting movies since about 2008 when I moved in and settled with my now wife. Around the same time I started collecting vintage. I too enjoy the old skool physical dvd. There's a lot of mainstream films but also some rarities. It's always evolving, sometimes I get rid of a few, add new ones. I keep it loosely in order of genres. We also have a load of kids/family films in the lounge and some box sets like all the James Bond films. There must be several hundred now altogether. A lifetime of films! I built (and painted) the shelves to fit the space and over time it's got covered in various items - figures, props, games and trinkets, souvenirs of life

those shelves look great mate, good mix of stuff, i know some people are snobbish when it comes to dvd, but i love mine, bluray looks good enough for me clarity wise, not made the jump to 4k yet, don't fancy buying everything again for more clarity, i'm happy with what i have

 

[grinchy]

just got these in, 4 disc MCU set for 8 pound, can't grumble at those prices

Also got these few in, first up one for the wifes collection, the sound of music 45th anniversary edition, some interesting special features on this set, again a bargain at less than a fiver

This is a decent disc of a good movie, sure they went overboard in some scenes, but Ricks makeup is stunning on both lead characters

Finally the frighteners, love Peter Jackson and his movies, this is a decent movie with some great fx

 

[grinchy]

So i bought the extended cut of justice league, and really enjoyed it, a long 3 hour plus movie, took me two goes to get through it, but happy i did, the movie being broken into chapters helped

I just ordered the standard version, i imagine they are very different, anyone seen both?

DC have not had as much luck with there output compared to marvel, i got to say i do prefer marvels stuff, but they have had many more movies to get the formula right

Yes, I've seen both and the standard version is very different in look and feel than the Snyder cut but the Snyder cut wins hands down for me. They tried to add jokes and things to the standard version that were unnecessary, but it is interesting to compare the two.

I'll let you know my thoughts when i have seen both, i should have seen the standard one first, never mind

Nice colllection you have, great to see dvd and blu-ray collections

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, there's some great collections in here, just got a new display cabinet, well the wife did and i nabbed it for the collection,

 

[grinchy]

I also went to my local charity shop, and got all this for 2 pound! they are doing ten dvds for a pound, but the girls in there know us and give us the odd deal, we do go a lot

 

[grinchy]

So i bought a few more pieces for the collection, first up Battle Royale special edition dvd set, yeah i know its not bluray but i still like dvds, works for me, 3 disc set with loads of special features booklets and a poster, i've only seen the film once but i remember it being brutal, some cool fx in it

next up the howling bluray steelbook, Howling is a great movie, i had it on dvd so this will be an upgrade, some great fx in this movie

Finally a set of four bluray steelbooks i took a punt on, last minute bid, got the four for 25 quid, i was mainly after the transformers set, the others i'll give a look at, maybe sell them on

 

[Palifan]

Nice1 I think that Howling Steenbok is the 4K copy of it. If it is let me know what the image is like as I might also get that one

Ian

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, its just the bluray edition, not here yet, i haven't upgraded to 4k yet, see what happens

 

[grinchy]

took a punt on this, we love the rock, hope its a good flick

 

[grinchy]

So we didn't like the jungle cruise movie, ended up turning it off, never mind can't like them all
Did a few trades with other bluray collectors, my hobbit bluray steelbook collection is growing

then got force awakens bluray steelbook

Then finally heroes season 4, took a punt on this one, i have the first three seasons on dvd, never seen the fourth

 

[grinchy]

Just won a couple more steel books first up predator, the first movie, and still the best

Also got another one of the trek blurays, slowly getting them together, love the steelbook

 

[Palifan]

Here's my pickups from the last few months of general cult oddness! Some are certainly better than others and some are just to complete a run (hello Rob Zombie's Halloween!), but they all have a little charm to me

Ian

 

[grinchy]

lots of cool titles there mate, very nice!

 

[grinchy]

So i have these coming for Christmas from the wife and kids, my two films of the year, first up Bond, not everyones cup of tea i know, but we really enjoyed it,

Next up Ghostbusters, loved this film, such a decent movie compared to the garbage that was the 2016 version, just a cool movie, this isn't out till feb, so i'll have to wait, but yeah brilliant

Finally one for the steel book collection, the matrix, just in time for the new movie, which is out soon

 

[grinchy]

My last purchase of the year was this 3 disc set, steelbook
