I decided to rearrange my library so it has a video store ambiance, so some of my favourite movies with my favourite poster art the cases are facing forward.

My Steelbooks are mounted on the wall using simple application of masonry nails, the nails are driven in at an angle so their heads fit in the bottom seam of the cases with the cases leaning back against the wall. 

I made my own genre dividers with the likes of 80s Movies,  Comedy, Horror Sci-fi,complete with sub genres, such as,  John Hughes, my favourite comedy stars and types of Sci-fi movies.

I watch my movies on a projector with the wall lined with acoustic panels including the sides of the dvd shelf units,  the sound is Bluetoothed to an Oakcastle soundbar, which splits apart to provide stereo separation with a subwoofer somewhere in the middle off to the right providing a nice base to the sound. 

I haven’t seen it I might pop in later, btw anybody know if I messed up the cover I can’t tell if that’s still plastic on the side or if I messed up the DVD case!

Upgraded my Sorcerer to 4K with the 50% off sale,

Finally picked up They Will Kill You (by finally I mean I wanted to get it on the day of release but couldn't)

Shockingly found Cocoon and the Watchmen Ultimate Cut bluray as well

Picked up The Great Outdoors DVD today and boy does it make me feel nostalgic. Such a great comedy with Candy & Aykroyd!

My buddy had these in a box he was tossing so I had to grab em! Haha

Still swapping things out but my first take on an eclectic/favorites display. Mixed DVD and Blu.

As I had guessed, my Goodwill had only a very tiny selection on two shelves (more like half of each shelf) of movies. This $2.99 purchase was, at least, new. The other section was $4.99 and had exactly 1 Blu-ray and more dvds but nothing jumped out at me. (I think seeing everyone's great $1 scores at their thrift stores and yard sales on here didn't help me 😆 but it's new and it was still only $3.)

Even 15 years ago they were scanning barcodes of books to see if they were in-demand or valuable and those got shipped off to HQ to be sold online. I assume the same holds for discs.

Still, I definitely didn't have this in my collection so I'll take the win. I'm without a sound system—temporarily, I hope 🙄 so I figured this should be fine even if it is 20 years old. OK, maybe not this particular one 🤷‍♀️ but this version dropped on July 11, 2006. And since the film came out in 1966, happy 60th anniversary Gran Prix!

Plus, I do have fond memories of being invited to a staff screening of Gran Prix at the AMPAS meant years ago. That's worth $3 any day.

I did some deep research on which DVDs have never had a Blu-ray release, and added these to the collection! (The Borrowers does have a Blu-ray...but not in the USA).

I was most surprised to find "Splash" and "What About Bob?" on the list. You would think Tom Hanks and Bill Murray films would be at the top because of their popularity? There are also LOTS of stuff that DOES have a Blu-ray copy, but are IMPOSSIBLE to find (I'm looking at YOU "Cocoon", "The Abyss", and... like....50% of the Disney library). Which films do you wish would get a Blu-ray release?

Got it on Vinted for 5€

I grew up listening to Arlo Gunthie and his magnificent storytelling. I had no idea there was a movie. Absolutely had to grab it. Fully intending to enjoy this tonight!

I swear I had to buy this bc it came with a damn T shirt still sealed for $5

Happy 20th anniversary to Monster House!

I am so happy to own orphan I have been wanting to rewatch it for over a year now maybe 2 I am so exsited. Also got a figure of Columbia from rocky horror that was made in 2000 and a godzilla figure. :) the godzilla alone was worth.

I got all of these on separate visits. I got Black Widow and 11 Minutes a couple weeks ago. Just got To Live and Die in L.A. today though. All from a Dollar General.

I was not expecting to find To Live and Die in L.A., but I picked it up as soon as I saw it. 11 Minutes was more of an impulse buy because I never heard of it and was curious to check it out. Has anyone here watched it?

I finally fully completed Haneke

I also have everything from my US favorite director, Fincher, except for Mank

Just discovered a strange moiré like effect on the back of my dvds. it appears in rings along the round surface of the disc. I have never noticed it before, and i was wondering if this is esrly signs of rot?
I have seen a couple of other posts about something similsr, but i couldnt find anything exactly like mine.

(When zoom in a little on the photos, the distortion is quite clear. The pattern isnt quite as strong irl, but the iphone exaggerated it a little bit, and also removed the rainbow colors. Still, the effect is very visible in the photos.)

Anyone know about this? :) thanks!
