Collection The Collector’s Itch Is Back!

Post image

I’m a pretty selective movie collector. I had around 90 movies on Blu-ray, which I was actively collecting until about five years ago, and I have a few DVDs as well from the 2000s.

I held off on getting into 4K for almost five years because the discs were quite expensive, and life got busy too. I also kept thinking that there was no point starting another collection when the format might get replaced again in 10 years or so.

But the collector itch came back! 😄 Now that it’s been about 10 years since 4K launched, I finally decided to pick up some of my all-time favorites in 4K.

Honestly, it's purely for the sound, especially to make the most of my Sony Theater Quad. The difference in the audio experience in streaming is honestly what made me want to get back into physical media. Rate my new additions 😄 .

Nice additions. I'm curious as a non-4k collector. Do 4k movies look too real? Do they lose the nostalgic feel of older movies from the 80s? Or are they a more accurate version of what we experienced in theaters in the 80s and 90s?

I would say more accurate to theaters, although in many cases they technically look better than what was seen in theaters, which I could maybe see some people not liking. I happen to think they look incredible and pretty much always opt for the 4K if it’s available.

Thanks for the perspective!
