Currently at 434 movies on Blu-ray and DVD. Also a few TV shows and cartoons. 


My VHS collection is somewhere between 300-400. 

At one point, my total collection was over 1,000.

That’s a pretty good sized collection.


I may have 300 Blu Rays, 20 4Ks, 1500 DVDs, 50 or so VHS, and 20 Laserdiscs.

What kind of genres do you primarily collect ?

I've been collecting dvds and vhs for awhile but just got into blu rays when I picked up an all region player a couple months ago. I'm mainly into 70's and 80s horror and exploitation. Love me some blaxploitation. I like classic horror and really anything weird. I've been a big fan of vinager syndrome, severin, and arrow releases so far and I just got the new switchblade sisters from arrow the other day.

That’s pretty much what I collect as well !!! If it’s not something offbeat, I upgrading my favorites. I just got a bunch of stuff from Arrow during their Easter sale. I own “Switchblade Sisters” as well. The original, Rolling Pictures DVD version.

I currently only collect DVD and Bluray. The only real reason why is because I don’t really trust the digital services to much since if the company decides to end the service then you loose your library.

That's why I still collect. I do have a streaming service and pretty much all of the streaming services but I too know at a drop of a hat they can take it all away. They come in handy while on vacation or any other thing in life that requires to kill time. I'll never stop collecting because I've not only been doing it for so long but I don't trust streaming service to keep the stuff I watch (I know there's licensing issues involved.) Not only that but they don't have special features and alternate cuts on the platforms.

I pirate most of the time but I have a small collection of VHS tapes, mostly Pokemon which is the only series I'm actively collecting VHS tapes for. I have a good amount of DVDs too but I wouldn't say I collect them.

Vhs enthusiast here! Having about 400 vhs tapes around. Mostly 80s 90s action, sci-fi, horror, comedy and trash movies. I am also collecting dvds and some blu-rays. I'm not much of a streamer, physical media is my passion since i was a kid. I can't understand people selling off all their physical copies for streaming services. Seeing a living room without any discs or tapes on a shelf makes me sad.

I'm still pretty new to collecting but I've inhereted a lot from family but I still count it. I have around 70 (of my own) DVDs, maybe 150 CDs, around the same for cassettes, 40 of my own vinyls but probably around 500, and only a couple of VHS tapes.

I collect DVDs and CDs, plus I've even burned some blank CD/DVD discs at home. I still have most of the discs from when I was in preschool and kindergarten, plus some new discs as well. Physical media will always be superior to streaming since I don't have to worry about my favorite songs/shows/movies being deleted out of nowhere.

I’m starting to think about collecting physical media again, because of the crazy amount of unreleased media projects nowadays being written off as tax write offs nowadays, getting unfairly cancelled by entertainment companies and not getting physical releases in general. But, right now I collect DVDs, and I’m thinking about starting a CD collection later on.

My happiest dvd/blue-ray purchase recently was Mob Psycho 100!
