I have never purchased a digital movie. I've watched tv using cable and satellite in the past, but now only have an antennae hooked up for my local stations. I purchase my tv series and movies on disc. Like my video game collection, I have many series still wrapped in plastic but will be able to watch once I start into my retirement.
My first dvd movie to ever purchase was Waterworld in 1996, one of the first dvd movies ever made. (Still have it.). I've only added to the collection from there on.
My last 2 purchases was 2 days ago for Pixels, and Ready Player 1, still waiting to arrive (Blu ray).
I have a weird compulsion about not placing new orders until old ones have made it to me. But these will be my next Amazon purchases for movies.
These next images are of my movie and TV series collection.
The 3rd shelf from the bottom that has a bunch of movies laying down horizontally are movies that have yet to be watched. Once they have been seen they get moved to one of the other shelves based on Genre. The 2nd shelf from the bottom also have a few horizontal movies, those are ones that I repurchased for a blu ray upgrade or were had one disc damaged where I had to rebuy and entire season. I will sell those or give away accordantly.
The very bottom shelf to the right contains the 23 marvel films that are put into chronological order by the Marvel timeline and I do have 8 unwatched movies there. I just finished up Guardians of the Galaxy 2 last weekend, looks like Avengers: Age of Ultron is next.
In the above image bottom shelf those are empty blu ray cases that I got to replace movies that come with a cracked cases. I also didn't know that Godzilla collection (the first 15 films) was going to be that large, I took out of the shelf to photograph.
Yes I have all of Star Trek, Discovery is not with the others yet because it belongs in my continuing running series section (makes it easier to keep track of what is complete and what is still running).
This next section coming up is my Anime section.
The Dragon Ball Supers are still unwatched, I will probably start all over from the beginning and lead up to those. The ones that are unlabeled on the very top are the Futurama seasons. The packaging that they came in was cardboard and discs are DVDs so I didn't want to scratch them and repackaged them. The original collection box is in storage to protect it. Almost everything else is also unwatched, Fairy Tail and Dr. Stone are some of my latest additions to the collection. Collection 25 of One Piece is scheduled for a May release no word on Collection 26 yet.
This is my large law, investigative, medical, and some misc. shows. One of my favorite packagings ever is the Breaking bad mini-barrel on the top shelf to the left.
Building this collection has become one of my joys in life. What sucks is that some shows are becoming impossible to complete. Law and Order SUV stopped putting out physical releases about 3 or 4 seasons ago. I also can't get the final season of Homeland.
I purchased a custom 4k Blu-ray player that allows me to change to all region formats. I sometimes import movies that only exist on blu ray in other countries and won't play on standard blu-ray players, hence the need to be able to change regions.
I've created a spreadsheet that list tv series and their approximate release dates to know what is coming up next to purchase. I've recently started just waiting for tv series to complete fully before purchasing to make sure I can finish a collection.
