It’s time. Time to clear out the old media
Do you keep everything or regularly make cuts to your collection ? Let me know in the comments…
This feels like a big change for me.
From hoarding everything to clearing out a large % of stuff. My habits are changing and my addiction to collecting and accumulating are being reigned in.
DVDs / Blu ray and other physical media will all be taking a hit in an effort to have a clear living space and more clarity of mind.

Crazy how easy it is to regret getting rid of excess stuff. But in the long run, you are better off. Sometimes less is more.
It was absolutely a weird feeling. Despite knowing I wanted rid of them.
Feel better for it now. Seeing the space and my room feeling less cluttered again is like a weight has lifted.
I don't keep movies' or tele shows. for there value, but for the enjoyment they bring to me.
That’s what I want to get my collection back to.
It should never be about the money worth but the worth to the collector. 100% agree
What an interesting feeling to observe and feel second hand. I sold 2000 DVDs in 2012 as I anticipated their value waning. Now in 2024 I'm resuming collecting Blu Rays since they're cheap but I'm sticking to limited collection of around 500 this time. Crossing the fine line into hoarding is kinda fascinating to ponder. The point remains it only has value if it's something you cherish. Having a filter is important.
I need that filter. Too often it’s been about amassing a big collection. But, it turned into hoarding when I realised I was keeping things for the sake of it. Things that wouldn’t be used by me again.
The amount got that bad that I was losing track of the movies and releases I truly cared about because they were buried amongst the mass. Like a needle in a haystack.
I’m trying to limited my collection enough to reflect my personal tastes and for me to be able to enjoy it without the feeling of being overwhelmed
@@PhillwithadoubleL It's a brave move making a healthy change after committing so much to a hobbie. After all it is about the movies you enjoy. Great subjects on the channel. Love rediscovering the collector community.
@@lt.loomis8176 I’ll always be committed to this hobby. Just trying to make sure that the things I continue to own are for the right reasons. I had so many movies that I was just ‘not that bothered about’. For me, I want the collection to reflect me and my tastes rather than them getting lost in the mass of everything in between.
I think around 500 is still a good number. Even watching a movie a day it’s last a good 18 months… that’s without all the new stuff coming along.
I wish I had a Cex near me because the postage kind of kills the bargains
Agreed.
At one time they used to do a combined postage. One postage cost regardless of the number of titles.
When the postage sometimes exceeds the cost of the movie itself it just doesn’t seem worth it. I’m quite lucky really, I work in walking distance to two CEX stores and when I’m home I’m within a short journey away from a couple too.
‘I’ve got piles. I’m going to turn around and show you.’😳
Sorry 😂
Great vid. I've just moved and had a cull of some DVDs I'd be unlikely to watch again. Just donated them to charity as many were worth a penny.
Yep, a large portion of mine went to charity. Got some more to go there too.
Sometimes not worth the time to go to CEX for their worth and what you get back.
I put all my dvds into plastic sleeves and discarded the case.
I’ve done that with a few of them. I’ve been quite selective of what I’m keeping hold of though. So many are available easily in other formats. I’ve kept the ones which are a little more difficult to find.
I had a tough time eliminating my vhs collection. That made it easier with the dvds. I additionally moved 60% of my discs into 100 disc holders sans cases. I have all the unwanted dvds away. Took some to a women’s assistance office.
Did you feel better for clearing some things out ?
Each time I move some on it feels better.
Well done Phill that was a good healthy step forward.
I got rid of alot of dvds recently and theres still more i need to be brutal about. Most of my dvds I'm keeping are comedy series that i just feel comforted knowing i have them to watch if i want to in the future, but probably will never find the time if im honest
Thanks Ashley,
It’s a strange thing to struggle with when I sit and think about it. A lot of these things I’ve not touched or thought about for years and yet when it comes to letting them go it’s sometimes difficult to do.
Like you, I’ve kept hold of some but the majority I’ve managed to clear and feel better for it. Most of what I have kept I’ve put into sleeves to keep the space impact to a minimum.
I have all the shows I like on DVD and I haven't been watching them but down the road you never know if they're not going to be streaming or they're going to be behind a streaming paywall so for me I'd rather have access to them whenever I want and I'm going to start watching them. a lot of the crap coming out today isn't even worth me trying to force myself to watch. I do have a lot of fun with indie movies on tubi though.
@@MediaFeverPitch I’ve kept a bunch of the tv shows at the moment to be fair. There’s a whole other room that holds a bunch of that kinda stuff which I haven’t touched yet.
My Due South collection will be staying that’s for sure… although, they’re all on RUclips… and in HD.
@@PhillwithadoubleL we got to force ourselves to watch the shows we want to watch God damn it 🤣 yeah I can watch the renegade any day of the week. Fuck Hollywood
Hi, just found your channel last night. I've been watching your videos and have been enjoying them, thank you for your time in making them.
I did the same thing with my dvd and blu ray collection last year or the year before. Downloaded different apps that can trade stuff in for cash and used cex. I went in with the mindset of "will I watch this movie again?" And if no and someone would give me something for cash it went. If not I donated them to charity.
Welcome 🙌🏼
Glad you found me and really happy you’re enjoying the content so far.
Have you found that clearing your collection lifted a weight ? I found myself enjoying the collection and collecting more now that my numbers are less. Gave me a sense of clarity
@@PhillwithadoubleL :)I did not know you were in Prometheus either. I really enjoyed that movie.
It has thank you. I think it helped me realise that I did not need a big collection, just movies that I know I would watch. A good portion I brought, watched once, put on a shelf, and never watched them again. Most have now been moved on. I have got a small stack to move on, just DVDs, I think they will end up going to charity shop tbh.
@@MrMRoboto1 most of my DVDs went to charity. I still have a few left to shift but I’m getting through them. One step at a time !
I’m going for the quality over quantity at the moment. Let’s see how long that lasts.
I have a ton of DVD’s that I want to get rid of, most are worthless but I do have a reasonably large collection of more obscure cult/exploitation/horror movies that I will keep hold of. Mainstream movies are very rarely worth anything even on Blu Ray and 4K, it’s only the Boutique labels that hold any value.
I took a bunch of Blu ray to CEX with me. I didnt pre scan them… even some Blu ray are worthless, a bunch scanned at a penny !
You’re right though, it’s mainly the boutique stuff that’s worth anything, maybe the odd title that gets deleted that suddenly surges in value. On the whole though, a couple of years after release and these things are pretty much unwanted.
If you have cult movies they're probably worth something on eBay.
If you have a place that buys DVDs you might get a little bit for each movie. Occasionally also DVDs that I can't get money for on eBay and get anywhere from 20 to $40. Sometimes I sell a few games too so that raises the prize.
Hi Phil, it is sad that DVDs aren’t really worth a lot god knows how much I spent on them back in the day. I still do buy the odd DVD from charity shops & CEX & a lot are still very watchable I recently watched the old Amityville film & the DVD was good. Why don’t you invest in a storage bag? For the ones you would like to keep?! I have culled some as usually it’s the cases that take up the room?! Best of your luck with your cull but don’t be too hard on yourself if it makes you happy you aren’t doing any harm to anyone 👍
I’ve bypassed the storage bags and gone for sleeving some into folders. Little A5 folders sit nicely on the shelves.
I think my collecting in the last has been more about anything and everything. Keeping hold of whatever came through the door. I’m limiting down to just those movie that I personally care for. There’s a ton in my collection that I’m just no longer interested in.
While it’s nice having the option to keep them, I’m feeling better freeing up the space and not being as overwhelmed.
100% agree that dvd is still watchable. If there’s a better alternative I’d go for that if I could… if not then the dvd is fine.
Do you keep hold of most of yours or do you tend to thin them out and trade some in ?
This was an easy task for me since my DVD collection was in storage and got stolen! Hope they're stuck with 'em!
The ones worth owning and not likely to be upgradable, I re-got eventually. Really only a handful in hundreds.
Man… that’s the worst.
It shows though, how much do we really want or care about ‘everything’
Many year ago when I got robbed. They left all my movies. Took my Dreamcast and games which I assume would have been an easier sell for them.
Genius trick with the magnetic security tags! 😂 The only DVD’s I keep hold of now are ones that have nostalgia value to me or haven’t had a release on Blu yet.
Hopefully when I’ve finished the clear out I’ll be the same with which DVDs I still keep. I have put a bunch in sleeves and in a folder. There’s still a few in special packaging that I cant sleeve but the numbers are way down.
To be honest, going through them made me realise that there still a number of films we’re all patiently waiting to be upgraded to at least Blu ray.
Oh, and the security tags. I’m actually tempted to see if that trick still works 😂
I think people worry about the money aspect too often these days when selling/donating. "What if I could've had more money from this or that?" And that applies for really anything, games too.
I donated my Halloween 3 dvd and shortly after that I stumbled on some info that it perhaps would have been worth as much as 40-50€
I thought about the potential money loss for a second or two and shrugged my shoulders. I could have got the money from it and then spend that on some other stupid stuff (most likely).
In the end the maximum money gain does not really matter, if the relieving feeling of getting rid of something is far greater.
On a general note, I got tired of upgrading movies, because prices are too high for everything. I changed my attitude and if I have a dvd of a movie that is in my top list and I watch it regularly, I might upgrade it, otherwise not. Will not upgrade movies that are not in my top list. I'll buy most new releases on 4K where available and settle for bluray or dvd for older movies I have not yet seen. Drift stores sell dvds for 1€ a piece so sometimes it's great to get a bunch of movies I have not seen for the price of one bluray.
I think that’s been my problem for not letting things go. The worth. But then because of that the collection just got out of hand.
I agree that it’s better to have the space than be hanging on to things just because of the $$
I’ve stopped worrying too much about the money loss now and just concentrating on adjusting my purchasing habits and also valuing my space and getting the collection curated down to a collection of just the movie I love and will watch again. No more anything and everything.
This video made me almost cry 🙁
Because of all the movies being moved on ?
It had to be done unfortunately. I’m doing my best to make sure a portion of them find good homes.
@@PhillwithadoubleL
Mainly because watching this reminded me that I need to do the same ...again 🙄 yeah, I k ow, stupid to store stuff you dont realy need. Still, sucks to trash dvd ... Around here most places dont take dvds even as donation. Sucks even mote to throw stuff to garbage that are like new 👎
@@DVDhoarder yeah, I’m trying to avoid anything going in the trash. I’ve managed to give away a bunch of region 1 here in the uk to some friends & followed. Still have a bunch more to go but glad they’ve found a home rather than the bin.
The collecting got out of hand and I knew I had to rein it in. Now looking towards a more curated collection. Still a decent solid collection but without the fluff and filler
I am always happy to anti-haul / purge of books and DVDs etc, there are some films I know I will never watch ever again. Some I will sell but many are just not worth it. I would never get rid of ones I have not watched, at least give them 10 minutes etc. DVDs certainly seem not hold their value. Blurays probably get a little more.
I needed to clear as much as possible. Unfortunately spending habits of the past meant buying things for the sake of it rather than for the love of it. There’s still plenty left unwatched in the collection. Just needed to clear the old formats out as much as possible.
I needed that purge / cleansing as I felt like I was slipping into a hoarding kind of mind set and really don’t want to get out of control.
This video was pretty hard to watch. I dont collect physical media but I understand your pain here. I collect sportscards and often many of them are now simply not worth the paper they are printed on. Its very easy to get into that mentality of "well i might as well just keep them anyway" like you mentioned. Its also painful because they do have value to you and maybe to some other collector. But the value is now so niche or low that like you said "the general public has spoken". I think the main thing is that if it causes you mental stress or anguish deciding whether or not to be rid of these items, its actually doing the opposite of what it should be. Our collections are meant for enjoyment. Ive binge watched all your videos as Ive been downsizing my own collection, and having someone who collects something else talk about their stuff has allowed me to look at it more objectively. I have no attachment to your physical media , just as you hwve no attachment to my sports cards. And so its easier for me to now look at my collection with an outsiders lens. Cheers for the great content
It makes me happy that my videos have enough commonality with collectors of various other items that people like yourself can enjoy the content and it gives ‘food for thought’
The collecting has kinda overwhelmed me at points. I love collecting and I love having a collection… it all just got a little crazy at times. I see the same sort of behaviours across other collections, be it movies / games / sports cards / Pokémon… and I realise that some collections can come at a cost.
The taking a step back and considering the collection and my behaviours has helped… although my collection now seems to be becoming less. I’m feeling a sense of relief as those numbers come down. It’s all starting to feel less overwhelming.
Wow my library still has DVDs. I can still sell DVDs to this place called vintage stock where I live. They don't give a lot of money but it adds up if you have a lot of them. And they'll take everything. Charity shops like Goodwill here in the US will take DVDs for free. If it's a movie that I enjoy then it's very hard for me to get rid of the movie even if it's not one of my all-time favorites. Because I know one day I'm going to want to watch it and hopefully it's on streaming if that's the case.
I think it’s down to me being in a small(ish) town. I think if I went to a city I may have found a library that would have taken them (possibly). A bunch just went to charity instead. I wanted to try and get them out of the way as soon as I could. I go through phases of considering keeping to wanting to clear out.
I knew I really wanted them cleared out so they just had to go as soon as possible. I’ve still got some to find homes for but seeing my space becoming gradually more organised again is in a way quite freeing. It feels like a little weight has lifted.
I have a massive collection and like aj, have started to look at what I could get rid off.
Theres no way I'd trade in at cex for 1p and 10p. Would rather donate to the charity shops where tbh I find alot of my dvds still.
Vhs is far from dead and dvd is just not the latest trend anymore.
I don't think it will have the same nostalgia revival as vhs or cassette, records but think it is worth keeping some of them.
Ones that have not been released or upgraded to bluray 4k
I don't collect bluray4k as I have more than enough and think dvd is fine for me.
I do understand the need to declutter, believe me i understand.
Streaming is great but I like to have choice and also hate the fact that whatever you watch is stored on a database to see whats popular or what they can recommend to you.
Sometimes its good and you're recommended something good.
I just feel we are less likely to find anything on streaming platforms like netflix and Disney that is not for mass appeal.
You tube is great for weird shit, despite the ads and freevee too.
Yeah, the value is why I took a bunch to charity. Didn’t seem worth it to run to CEX for pennies.
I’m curating my collection down to give me back some of that space but there’s no way I’d get rid of all of em. The movies I care for, generally I’ve already upgraded from dvd. I have sleeved a few dvd but most are now gone. I think there’s still a few more in another room but that’s a job for another day.
I’m fine with streaming for some things but you are at the mercy of the providers.
I do also purchase digital from iTunes and so far… haven’t lost any titles. So far !
The digital purchases have mainly been down to convenience for when I work away from home. Very handy to have a library available to me when I’m on the go !
@@PhillwithadoubleL I guess a laptop is more convenient than lugging around a crt and dvd player😄I just cannot justify paying for content in digital form even though dvd is, it feels more mine.
Guess thats just me, I get your reasons. Whatever works for you👍😎
@@sparkstron73 if I’m working away it can be months at a time. I have the iPad as one screen but I also take a Roku streaming stick which I plug into TV in the hotel rooms or apartments.
I think that time working away is what kinda influenced my use of digital to some extent.
Not everyone is going to have the use of digital like I have but it certainly highlights a couple of benefits.
But… still can’t beat that physical product though.
I went alone to an empty theater to see The Descent , no one would go cause they said "oh another cave movie?" Dog soldiers is a big fav though so I just went alone. I was very happy I did :) such a great movie. Our libraries are full of shelves here, also they sell used ones! I look on fb market place for dvds so try there? there is also dvd selling fb groups. It is still valued I promise !!!
my collection is worth everything to me as I curate it to hold the films and music I really love! yes it is a lot but I also have a room that is pretty much just shelves for it all. like yours really but no slant so I could go up higher.
I’m enjoying the curating of the collection now. Feels good to be moving on some of the lower grade movies and duplicates.
I saw the descent in the cinema too. The screening I was in was pretty busy and still remember that reaction to ‘that moment’
Love Dog soldiers.
I was quite surprised the libraries weren’t interested. I’m sure the charity shops will be happy with what I dropped in though.
I’ve found a collector for some other bits so glad they’re going to someone who cares enough to collect and take care of them… which maybe sounds kinda weird. I’m sure you understand though !
More power to you. It's a tough process. I've cleared out a lot over the past five years (mainly because one has to space out because it becomes overwhelming sometimes). Originally cleared out completely VHS stuff. Later Between my Movie, TV series (both DVD and blu-ray) and CDs (music and audio plays) at it's peak was well over 4000 pieces on discs. Some I sold and made money, some made little, and a solid third I gave away. However curating to what I like and gaining space was like a breath of fresh air. Granted I still buy and collect, but it's a lot less than I use to it's pretty much either a 4k to upgrade or something that previously never been released in the US that I've been waiting for. Currently between all 3 Movies, TV, Music on disc I'm at 1300. Would a lot less if some of the TV shows would be released on blu-ray instead of DVD. TV on DVD is too many discs, takes up a lot of space, and quality isn't as great as blu-ray, but what can you do if there isn't another way to watch? Sorry for the rambling. Cheers to you though it's a tough process, but worth it. You should feel proud and stronger afterwards.
Feel free to ramble all you want !
I know I’ve mentioned in a previous video but I’m feeling like curating the collection down actually helps me enjoy the collection a little more. It somehow allows me more time to focus down on those movies I truly care about rather than being slightly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of everything else.
Collecting the way I had been, I had been getting more and more but spending less time with individual releases. Missing out on some of the extras I had previously been looking forward too.
Although I may miss out on some titles I’m actually finding more value in those I pick up now that I know I 100% want in my collection.
It’s a process. I need to continue with it but even with this first step I feel as though a weight has lifted.
Ive been snapping up DVD from charity shops lately. The upscale on some of them is good enough for a watch. If its something i really enjoy then ill look for the 4k
Plenty of great titles are stuck on dvd for the time being
Yeah,
As I was sorting through my lot, there are a bunch which haven’t moved on from the DVD format. I’ve sleeved those and kept hold of them in a folder… for the movies I really like anyway.
I’ll still pick a dvd if it’s a movie I really want and it isn’t available any other way but it’s pretty rare that happens now.
Dude, my VHS, my Beta, my laser discs, my DVDs - I *MAKE* space in my library for physical copies.
All those happy to perpetually rent digital copies online can fill their boots.
If it’s a movie I care about. 100% physical media is king.
You still have Beta ? Good on ya. Do you still have a player too or are they more for your collection ?
I remember my old top loader Betamax with the push down buttons. Remember changing to VHS and being amazed with the plug in / wired remote control 😂
@@PhillwithadoubleL DUDE!! ✊✊✊ That's epic. They aren't dead formats while we're still using them 😁✌️
P.S - one functional beta max player. It is treated like fine china
P.P.S - oh, the days when the remote was connected to the player via a foot long wire 🤣
My movie collection consists of only movies I have seen and want to watch time and time again.
That’s what I need to take my collection back to. I’ve no idea when I stopped collecting like that and just started going for anything… or not just selling straight away if I’d made a blind buy and didn’t really enjoy it.
'Thin the herd' as I did; if you have the more advanced bluray edition, sell the other older edition.
Doing just that. I did a video on doubles previously. Kinda shocked myself how many duplicates I had.
My local library is having a clear-out this weekend, books and movies.
If theres Blurays there i may go mad as ive heard the prices are pennies.
I still have DVD vovered in dust that i almost musicmagpied in lockdown but 1p/10p and a bunch not on it, i just threw it all back in the back of the cupboard 😂
Its totally weird as im such a techy guy, always have been, but streaming is an utter mess.
My options were blurays for pennies or £1, or sailing the high seas again like the 2000's.
Equipment outlay, blurays work out cheaper 🤷
I’ve done that in the past with my DVDs and some blu ray. Scanned on music magpie and then ended up boxing and keeping them in the attic instead. I’ve come to a point now though. Rather than trying to store them I just wanted them out of the way. If they were up in the attic for years untouched then they might as well not be here. I’m glad of the clear out now. Despite failing at doing so a couple of times in the past.
I’d be tempted to visit a library doing a sale like that. I just have to be careful, in the park the habits have been licking things up because of the price rather than it being a movie I actually wanted in the collection.
Everyone keeps saying that digital streaming is the way to go but I say well I wouldn’t be too surprised when the shit hits the fan and all digital media libraries wither be music, movies or tv shows that they have accumulated all those years ago have vanished they’re wish that they haven’t thrown away the things the physical media stuff.On the other hand streaming entertainment is great if traveling around if you want watch something or listen to something on the go!
There’s pros and cons to both I think. If it’s a movie I love I’m keeping physical. Everything else, I don’t mind digital and understand the risks of potentially losing things.
The portability of digital is a big one for me. Have my digital collection literally in my pocket wherever I go (depending on the internet situation)
Keep strong my friend.
Let it go!
Step by step, it’s on the way out.
I’ve already moved on to sorting through some Blu ray and have another load ready to go. Feeling a sense of achievement with it at the moment.
just donate ones you hate dont chuck it in the bin unless the disk is total fucked.
That’s what I try to do.
Most things were donated / given away or traded in. I like these things to go on to another life and get use somewhere else if possible.
I think we are the last Generation that will buy physical Media very few of the Next Generation won't carry this on. Like my son he the Netflix generation. When I go to HMV or CeX I always say to myself what am I doing. And I think when you're asking that question it's time to stop
You’re right David. Pretty sure we’re the last generation that will care so much about physical media. Same with my kids, they’re monsters and don’t give a damn about physical.
I think there might be a slight resurgence like with vinyl but I think generally most of the public will be fully into the digital. It’s so convenient.
Amelie 4k is coming this year
🙌🏼🙌🏼 I thought I’d read it somewhere. 100% will be going in for that.
City of lost children is a 4k temptation at the moment for me too.
Great show. Nice to see that it's not just me who is a hoarder of hundreds of dvds and Blu-rays. 😅
You’re not alone !
There are lots of us out there.
I may be getting rid of a los but like any crazy collector. I still got loads left that I’m keeping !
I can't bare to part with any of my dvds, maybe ones I've got on Blu-ray too ? Likewise I have many I haven't watched yet and some of mine are still sealed too. I try to cut down but Amazon is too easy. Complete Westworld for just £28 getting delivered this afternoon... oops 😬
@@austinryan7054 I got tempted by the matrix trilogy (again) from amazon on 4k the other day.
It was a struggle to start parting with the DVDs but a couple of days after. It’s nice and refreshing seeing the space forming and the clutter reducing.
I’ve not really missed the ones that have gone… yet. I may do after some time but at the moment I’ve not missed them not being there
@@PhillwithadoubleL Have got Matrix trilogy on separate dvds and the box set of everything (which I haven't even opened). On Blu-ray including the last sad entry. Can't persuade myself to go to 4K on them all, even though I do love them and watched them on TV a few weeks ago 🤔
@@austinryan7054 haha. I love that. Exactly what I do… have the Blu ray on a shelf but end up watching on TV. 😂
I’ve not upgraded the matrix movies from Blu ray… but I do have them 4k on iTunes. If the mood strikes. Although I did get tempted for the trilogy on 4k last week when Amazon had it for £16… but I’m on my 30days no physical media thing so didn’t pull the trigger and order
Love the vid Phill
My collection as I’ve said before is only grails and stuff I can’t live without mainly tv seasons if we counting actual discs and I’ll never stop buying them on dvd! All hail dvd!! Film on blu ray tv on dvd I just have a rule haha I’ll be honest I bought a trrrabyte hard drive and put all my other films on there all catogorized into genre and streams through the house honestly life changer
Thanks man, felt weird trying to film on the iPad but I don’t think it did a bad job for the little I used it.
Still feel kinda weird about clearing so much out. I’ve gone from a weird regret to a relief, like a weight off my shoulders when seeing the space clearing a little. Still a few more steps.
One thing at the moment. With doing the 30 day challenge of not using or buying any physical. Handling all these movies makes me want to watch some, making that challenge that little bit more testing 😂
@@PhillwithadoubleL maybe get through some of you back log lol literally what am trying to do with some of my games you used your iPad? Same mic? I thought the sound was funny in the beginning could just be me but other than that nah it was fine
I’m still on the packing side of things as I’m pretty sure my job is coming to an end so I just packed up my racing sim rig if you ever feel like you got a lot of stuff Yh….don’t haha I’ll invite you for the weekend luckily I’ve had the foresight to keep all the boxes and delivery packaging to everything so that’s made it so much easier
And as for collection value I don’t really know all I could tell you is when I last checked my vinyl with Discogs it was up in the 7 grand area but that the top end and you gotta find someone willing to pay that first
@@theknight8668 that’s one of the biggest issues with selling, finding the right buyer.
Some of the other items I’m clearing out it feels like it’s the choice of taking a lower amount or waiting it out to find that right buyer.
To be honest , all the talk I’ve done around collecting I’ve actually thought about touring others collections. Might start off a little more simple with a live stream or something first.
@@PhillwithadoubleL or get viewers to send in pics of their displays do a “rate my display” kinda thing haha you’d have to wait for mine tho as I’m planning on building a display so badass it’d score 10/10 everytime
Are those films from 2000 era to today (2024) any good?
*Can you re- watch any of the Films from the last 25 years*?
It's mostly all sizzle and _zero steak_
Get rid of the rubbish like (Thelma and Louise and Tom Cruise junk)
Keep the ones you have re- watched several times.
*Only Keep* the DVDs that are *out of print*
But
Most of the titles your showing are _common as muck_ .... Except manure helps the environment :)
Stay Happy.
Mr p Decker
I agree. The titles I’ve gone through and shown you can pick up in some way or another quite easily and added to that. Most, I can’t see me rewatching again.
It was a slight sting to clear out so many at first, now… I feel better for it and don’t feel like I’m missing anything.
Hi Phil 2 personal reasons i bought a lot of region 1 DVDS at the time were being in a PAL Country ( Australia ) the 24 vs 25 frames speed up annoyed me and many of those region 1 were far better versions than the Region 2/4 discs. Regards I find I am collecting a lot fewer Movies these days and only the odd series from time to time
Hey Trevor,
I’ve been picking up fewer and fewer movies over the last couple of years. This last few months has been more about considering what I’m holding on to and why.
Me collecting region 1 in the past was more about getting that release early or getting the better editions in terms of extras. Some region 1 DVDs still never actually made it to UK shores.
I’m trying to cut down what I buy so I can enjoy more of what I do buy… found that the collecting habit of buying too many became more about the next thing rather than that one thing you had in hand. I want to bring my focus back to the movies that I care about.
Hello Phill I'm not sure if it's just me and my poor hearing but i find your videos to be really quiet. Your voice is very soft and i have a hard time hearing what you're saying. Otherwise, love the videos. Thanks.
I changed mics because of the volume. Must be an iPhone thing… I’ll see if I can boost it up in the editing. Hopefully when I move across to better editing software I can manage it a little easier. Currently doing everything on my phone which isn’t the best for checking levels etc.
improvements will be made though… hopefully !
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll work on it. Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Yeah I think dvd is similar to the VHS collection which is pretty dead. But fret not blu ray & 4k will stand the test of time as its better/higher quality than streaming & you have a bunch of extras. Both things the dvd and vhs lacked that's why they became obsolete.. Pretty much
Making sure now that I’m only getting and keeping the movies I love. There’s a whole lot of trash movies that I got rid of in this cull. A majority I wouldn’t have watched again.
I remember couple of VHS with extra features. Although they came on another VHS rather than on the same tape… definitely remember a release of usual suspects which had the VHS with audio commentary
Yeah, it's odd. Get rid of stuff, but you get a sense of relief as well . £20 trade is better than nothing 👍
Yeah, the following day when I was back in the office room there was a feeling of a weight being lifted as I started to see some space / impact.
That £20 will be handy when I finish my 30 days no physical media challenge !
@@PhillwithadoubleL Absolutely..I brought a DVd from Music Magpie last night 😂 I really need to stop collecting them now ☝️
@@MattVs_Movies well… it all depends on the movie and the content you’re after. DVD can still have a place for some titles. I kept a bunch because I’ve not upgraded or can’t upgrade.
Will have to do some research on some of the titles to double check but amazed that some still aren’t upgraded.
@@PhillwithadoubleL yep, it the collectors editions I like. Standard ones I just pick up if 20p watch once and donate back if I enjoy the film can always upgrade
@@MattVs_Movies I wanted an edition of Flash Gordon for the longest time. A particular edition that had audio commentary by Brian Blessed. Think it’s since been on the latest release on Blu ray but it’s just an example of some treasures which dvd can still hold.
Can pick up some real bargains on DVD too. Think the lack of interest generally means you can get them for pennies or even free.
How much will cost to ship to U.S. for those region one?
Unfortunately more than the discs are worth.
For the box I think it’ll be around £60 (which is around $75).
I think individually it’s around £10.
A silly price when compared to the actual disc worth.
That stinks. Sorry about that from a guy in the US.
@@popculture3394 I thought about finding someone US based to see if they wanted them. Just doesn’t seem worth it to anyone either the super high costs. Shame really.
@@PhillwithadoubleL yeah. I was willing to pay it but not that high. I know I most likely have doubles but our libraries are pretty big on DVDs still
@@popculture3394 shame it’s silly money. Nice to know they’re going to a collector if they go anywhere. Although I think I may have found a uk based collector for them now 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Way to go!
Step at a time. This was the first of likely a few drops offs as I sort through the chaos.
Slowly getting some floor space back and feeling better for it !
Dude. I collect region 1 DVDs!!
You’re on Instagram right ?
I’ll send you a message shorty and see if I can get em to you.
@@PhillwithadoubleL I am mate.
I take sòme dvds of you if you have detroit rock city or super troppers 2 or list what you dont want cheers
I’ll let you know shortly. Send me a DM on one of my social media channels and we’ll see if I got anything left for you.
Some may be given away in a future live stream too.
Thanks friend
You held onto your DVDs too long. I was culling mine prior to even getting into blu ray in 2010. Anything that's not still stuck on DVD is basically worthless. Though you seem to have it worse over there in the UK. In the US there are trade in shops that will still give at least $1-2 per DVD, no matter what it is or how common. The only DVDs I still have are ones that have never been upgraded by anyone.
Trying to get mine down to the same. Only holding DVDs for things that haven’t upgraded. You’re right though, too many of these lot I kept hold of for far too long.
In a way it kinda felt like getting rid of them somehow meant getting rid of my identity.
i'll tell u one thing than needs trashing; this video.
