Me too.
Do you still collect DVD, Blu-ray, 4K?

But there are some chains out there that sell new and used DVD's like Vintage Stock/Movie Trading Company and Half-Price Books that are mostly in what malls are still around.
Not in my area, unfortunately.
I'm educating myself about Hammer films (i.e. watching them 
), and someone recommended The Reptile. So I went looking for it on streaming and failed to find it for free. Amazon has it available for sale on DVD cheap, so I figger I may as well own it. When it arrived, it turned out to be a Greek issue, made in Greece and shipped from Greece! The cover is, of course, in Greek, but it's, like six words! I thought, shirley "The Reptile" in Greek can't be six words! Got a friend to translate the title, which says, "Death Came From Borneo!" 
I mean, I've seen things retitled for other countries before, but that's a pretty crazy retitle for such a simple original title.
Oh - the film is still in English, so I don't care about the packaging.
(I could swear I ordered the English version. Oh well).

I had found Captain Scarlet (the 60s puppet show) on Amazon Prime, and showed my wife the first ep just for fun. Had some time to kill this morning, so I went to watch episode two. That particular episode is unavailable due to rights issues . Hence why I also have the series on DVD.

I saw a clip for Bridesmaids on YouTube and it reminded me of how much I loved that movie. I bought it on Blu-Ray. That made me want to watch the other Paul Feig/Melissa McCarthy movies, so I bought The Heat and Spy on Blu-Ray (I already owned Ghostbusters) and had a movie marathon.
I also got Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain. I liked the movie, but what I really liked was a streaming movie being released on physical media and I hope we see more of that.

My mom and I just recently moved to our current place in St. Louis, and I just bought these used from Half-Price Books the other day to replace the DVD/Blu Rays I had to throw away b/c they either had s**t on them that I couldn't get off or they had been stepped on and broken (our old place was a mess):
Avengers: Endgame
Captain Marvel
Deadpool
X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Plus, I bought seasons 3 and 5 of Outlander b/c I already have seasons 1, 2, and 4.

as someone apart of the new generation, I am baffled by people's lack of concern surrounding the drop off of physical media. Everything is scatterd and difficult to access. And good piracy is hard if you're not techy. DVDs are great. However, I don't plan to own many dvds or shows. There's no reason to. If you have a library card, you rent them out as you please and I do on a weekly basis.
I do collect my favourite shows and movies. Its small, but right now I have Seinfeld in its entirety, and plan to collect DS9 and MASH as well. Movies are pulp fiction, reanimator, and the austin powers films. I think its only worth it to buy movies and shows you know you will rewatch. I see so many dvd collections collect dust. If you don;t have access to a library, that's another story.
