My father in law surprised us with shelves he made for our collection. So happy for them to finally have a real space to be displayed and wanted to share

Which case would you pick? I have the extended cut of Windtalkers and have both the blu ray case w/ slip cover and the DVD directors box set. The second picture is one part of the DVD set opened. It’s bigger but better artwork?

200$ but I wanted most of these in 4k so it worked out. Even came with a certificate so that's neat. I've been busy but I saw the opening DDay scene for SPR and it was gut wrenching. Really appreciate the 4k upgrade so I can see stuff I dont remember seeing in the background.

Got back into collecting physical media back in February and this is where I'm at so far. I got about 250 Blu-ray/4K

plus a couple more boxes of DVDs. Most of my blurays have been purchased used. I have also managed to get 2 4K players and a Blu-ray player. This all started when a buddy of mine gifted a copy of Akira 4K Steelbook. I'm pretty proud of where my collection is.

Just watched the classic. I am a big fan of the legacy. But now I'm not sure - the classic is up there at the same level.

Also the special edition has so many bonuses too, probably takes more than the movie duration lol, gotta watch all that now

Not to mention the design of the disc in the blue single color with the "3D" text

I'm so glad I got into this 😍 🥰

Just got into collection blu rays 3 months ago so far this is my collection ! Thoughts ? And what do you guys recommend buying next ?

I'm a big Sandra Bullock fan (don't judge me, lol)

I have almost all of her collection on Blu-ray except one.

"While you were sleeping" was produced and distributed in Australia on Blu ray in a region free format. They are available on Ebay, but at absolutely crazy prices.

Anyone know where I can get a Blu-ray copy?

Thanks.

Sky High has officially entered the OOP territory as of this week and is now one of the most expensive and rarest! Do you own the disc?

I’ve used criterion 50% sale
Prime day sale
B&N sale
For most of these
Was able to pick up most of the blu-rays from a local movie rental place that was selling extra copies

I normally find a movie here and there at garage sales, but today had the best I’ve ever found. There was still another few boxes of movies that I left behind.

Zia had a buy 3 pre-owned get the 4th free.... I couldn't stop 😭 i hit up 3 locations... man what a haul tho

Gonna try and see if I can get two movies in before I pass out asleep 😴.

 
I popped each movie in to check out the visual quality and make sure it works before return periods expire.  Below are my initial impressions from the early scenes.    

Anaconda (1997)

Fine to moderate grain.  Heavier grain comes in the night shots, of course.  Natural looking picture, with bright HDR highlights at time.  Things like artificial lights can go pretty bright, but fire is really the star here and looks fantastic.  Generally good detail and nice and sharp, though some shots are softer with either being slightly out of focus, or a glamour shot with JLo seeming to have a bit of a soft glam filter.  The CG is obviously CG, but holds up better than I expected.  A lot of the snake shots are actually a practical effect/prop, so you can spot the difference when it is a CG snake, but its not egregiously bad or anything.    

Anaconda (2025)

A more subdued HDR grade as far as peak highlights go, but it is a generally bright and colourful movie.  It is a very clean presentation, with a slight layer of grain imposed over the digitally shot image that softens things just a little.  It remains sharp and detailed.  Contrast is put to good use.  Great skin tones and natural colour.  Warm Palette.  This is a very attractive looking disc.    

Super Mario Bros

 
The initial impression when the movie starts is not great.  Soft shots, no HDR.  Give it a minute though and you get some very nice details, which varies from shot to shot.  One shot, particularly close-ups can have a crazy amount of fine detail.  Others are slightly out of focus and have less detail.  Grain is very, very fine in some shots, light in others, and occasionally moderate.  The image is bright and colourful and has good contrast, depth and dimensionality considering it is SDR only.  Skin tones are healthy, colours are natural looking.  I’d love to see what HDR could bring to this film, but its good for what it is.

This is another SDR-only 4K, but the upgrade over the standard blu-ray is easily apparent.  This came from a new 4K scan and looks great.  Unlike the old blu-ray, the image here is more stable, has better contrast and colours and is from from DNR.  Fine grain is in tact. There are some specs and flecks in the scan, but it’s not terribly distracting.  Apparently, there are a couple of quick flashes around the 57-minute mark that go to a black screen instead of the image that is supposed to be there, so if that bothers you, then I guess avoid this release, but, personally, I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t read about it and the rest of the movie is a clear upgrade.
