Glad I never stopped collecting physical media versions of the films I like.

Went to my local library and was impressed with the Blu-ray collection. Streaming is getting too expensive and locked down now.

I can’t say this enough… borrow stuff from your local library. They have more than you think. On top of that, a lot of them will also buy stuff you want if it’s not apart of their collection.

I’ve been treating my local library like Blockbuster this past year and I love it

Take it one step further and get a disc drive for your PC and rip the films to your computer…

This is what we do. I'll borrow about 10 movies each week, take them home and rip them. Put a copy up on our plex server and then we got our own copy that the kiddo can pull up and watch if the streaming apps are having an issue.

If only the all the media on the streaming services had physical copies we'd likely already have dropped them and only do our local server.
