Without laboring the point, at least too much 😁, there are multiple reasons that I like physical media (e.g., DVDs, BluRays, etc.). Many of you are probably thinking, "Why are you STILL buying movies on disc!?" Well, here are some reasons why - based in part on a list I saw at Movienerds4 on FB, but this doesn't make it any less true.
1) I miss the days when I could go to a video store and browse the shelves, hold movies in my hand, read the backs, etc., and then choose whatever struck my fancy at the time. Since I have my own collection, I can do this anytime I want.
2) There are no monthly subscription fees to access my collection.
3) There aren't any annoying commercials when I watch my movies.
4) If/when the internet goes down, I can still watch something that I enjoy.
5) My movies will always be there, they don't come and go like they do on a subscription streaming platform.
6) Most movies include special features that aren't available when you stream. BTW, one of my favorite sets of special features is the one that comes with A Knight's Tale.
7) Buying discs and maintaining my own library allows me to support the film industry and, at the same time, keep at least some discs from ending up in a landfill.
8) I love movies!
I'm not saying that everyone should feel the same way that I do about physical media, but these are some of the reasons why I'm a fan.
Happy Watching!!
