I find DVD much easier than Blu Ray.
Well there are still some movies that are ONLY on DVD and not Blu Ray, but not many. Blu ended up a very successful format. 4K though is still impossible to find, other than on Amazon.
Where I live, it tends to be more likely that you will find things on dvd than blu - especially when it comes to series, but films too. (The films tend to be the cheaper/lower budget ones though).
For films that are on blu (unless they are the really big budget ones), I'm more likely to find on Amazon or specialist stores.
Our local supermarket has about three shelves of Blu, two shelves of 4k - then about fifteen or so of dvd.
At the specialist stores, obviously there are a lot more blu, but I'd say shelves of dvd still take about twice as much room as blu of any type
We've had a 4K player for about 2.5 years (our old blu-ray broke on us) and we have fewer than 15 titles for that format. Rise of Skywalker was our last 4K disc purchase.
While Blu-Ray is probably the most prevalent in our market, I have found plenty of 4K discs at our local Best Buy and Target. Maybe not everything but enough. Haven't gone into BB since before COVID and the pandemic has kept me away from the section in Target at those times I have to go in. But we own an Apple TV and do plenty of purchases and rentals through that these days. Still, when I do buy 4K discs, I typically buy through Amazon as they are less expensive.

I only own movies on DVD that I specifically want in my archive, and don't want to chance losing access to. Since blu-rays would be duplicating movies, i only but those for the absolute cream of the crop, my favorite movies ever. So I have very few blu-rays.
DVDs are just the current staple for me and work satisfactorily. No need to add another device in to the house.
Disney+ has added an old TV special, The Mousketeers at Walt Disney World, which apparently includes all of the original commercials from when it first aired in 1977. I might have to check this out, I always get a kick out of old commercials.
The first Tim Story Fantastic Four movie and The Wolverine have dropped on Disney+.
Do they have the director's cut of The Wolverine? Because that's the far superior version of the film.
No. Disney+ is only streaming the theatrical cut of The Wolverine.
And Days of Future Past too.
Isn't that the Rated R Version? If so, that definitely won't be coming to disney+. I agree that it is the better version of the film, I have it on Blu Ray, but Disney+ has been pretty clear that they're not going about a Pg-13 rating for content.
I thought you don't like violent, dark comic book movies...
Watching it now. Definitely the theatrical version.
Double boo. I much prefer the Rogue Cut.
