Blu-ray Hunting in the UK goes something like this

I take a trip down to HMV and CEX to see what interesting blu-rays I can find, looking for bargains and deals.

[@ElliotCoen]

Let me know if you enjoy this sort of video and I can film another one soon!

[@michaelhawkins7389]

I love HMV

[@dareale90svlocgamelover]

You should do more of theses videos

[@grkdude405]

We love all your videos, more please.

[@TheFoxxsean]

I loved this type of video and hope to see more

[@thestruths1093]

YES!!!

[@halfbakedmovies]

Please do more of these! I picked up the Criterion Blu-ray of Easy Rider for £5 in cex the other day, couldn't believe my eyes!

[@ElliotCoen]

That’s a bargain! Thanks for watching

[@MovieTalk-gs6vd]

So glad you're doing these, would love to see more Blu ray hunting videos

[@mikestand8067]

Absolutely love this kind of video and would love you to do them frequently

[@brunomachado7279]

Elliott, you're driving on the wrong side!😂😂

[@ElliotCoen]

I was wondering why every other driver honks at me!

[@eggiott]

I've always called it C.E.X :o

[@rocktzar]

Refuse to say "sex" which is actually what it is if you watch any adverts 🤦

[@AduderReviews]

Same

[@syknyk101]

@@rocktzar it's computer exchange and sex begins with an S... don't believe poor marketing.

[@dlb9283]

Nice work. Fresh air at last, I hope you enjoyed your day out.😆

[@ElliotCoen]

The sunlight, it burns 😩

[@hildamontes6146]

Definitely liked this video. So do more please. It's really good to see what's out there and what you find.

[@Crustytheone]

Untold story is a great movie, the picture quality on this one is stunning!

[@MovieAddictMatt]

Enjoyed the video! Wish we had that store in the US!

[@u77750]

Oh wow!!! This was great!!! I haven’t seen a store like this in ages on Long Island. I would love to just go and browse again. Well done Eliot!

[@g_r_a_m_p_i_r_e]

The good, the bad & the weird is a great find…love this one, so much fun

[@svabosvabo3257]

I just rewatched Versus after about 20 years. It's got so much "90s cool" although being from 2000. Love it still.

[@ElliotCoen]

I’m excited to watch it this week. Cheers!

[@Howtch]

This was a really fun video! Thank you for doing it.

[@blu-rayswithnathanjones]

Glad to see the hunting was a success, pal! Thanks for sharing the trip 🤘

[@charlieroome5220]

really enjoyed this format, hope to see more

[@ElliotCoen]

Thank you Charlie!

[@FilmsWithJaz]

Please do more, really enjoyed this!

[@ckybloodyalliance]

Great to see you blu ray hunting in the wild and I enjoyed your pronunciation of 'CEX'. Doesn't 'Kecks' mean trousers? We say 'see eee ex' down south but I'll be sure to say kecks when I visit Manchester. 👍

[@spicemelange]

I'd call kecks trousers too, and im from the North Midlands, not a million miles from Manc! :D

[@indianag007]

Great video. Love this. Please do another one. Thoroughly enjoyed. Best. Andy

[@ElliotCoen]

Thank you Andy, I’ll be making some more soon!

[@indianag007]

This KZbin channel that is amazing and am very happy to have discovered. Keep up the great work mate. Andy.

[@eaglestrikes1]

Great video, I enjoyed this content thank you, lovely presentation as ever

[@ElliotCoen]

Thanks for watching!

[@laurarules3642]

I was in CEX the other day. They seem to have gone the way of charity shops and are charging a ridiculous amount for second hand movies and some with just photocopied covers.

[@saharapage1]

I love you mixing it up. Also I see you're posting more. Glad to see it.

[@Chardy88]

I believe they are my local HMV and CEXs - didn't realise you were in my neck of the woods! Love blu ray hunting videos!

[@shaunwerndley6799]

Really enjoyed your Blu ray hunt Elliot.. hope you do more in the future 😎😎😎

[@12oq]

10:44 I felt ancient at that moment haha

[@cburg]

cool to see my local HMV. Great store!

[@thiagomattar2368]

Great to see you hunting!!

[@ElliotCoen]

Thank you! More hunting trips are coming!

[@modestyblaise4167]

Always fun videos, and nice pickups. You’re lucky to have a lot more interesting films in your CEX than my local one and I’ll be avoiding HMV for a while since being hit with a £650 optician fee. It might have to be a charity shop run, but they’re not usually that great these days. Oh well, luckily the backlog is HUGE at the moment.

[@mauriciogutierrez2145]

Great titles and selection, so jealous, in colombia weve got nothing like these places, im enjoying it by proxy so thanks elliott

[@timneath8727]

I've had some nice finds at CEX, best to buy in the shop than online as they charge p&p £2.50 per item which really put me off. Nice change from the standard video. 👌

[@johnmuff1348]

Yes i enjoyed your bluray hunts and pickups please do more 😅😅😅😅

[@Hartley328]

Love this video idea, one of the joys of collecting physical media.

[@marksmoviemenu1290]

Loved your Blu-ray hunting video. Glad you picked up Kim Jee-woon’s The Good, the Bad, the Weird. It’s great, I hope you like it.

[@ElliotCoen]

Thanks Mark!

[@BeersAndBlurays]

Great video. More please.

[@ElliotCoen]

Thanks Lee, they’ll be coming!

[@VengaboysRbackINtown]

I definitely enjoy this sort of thing but what would make it better is if we see more of you out and about walking round etc…maybe grabbing lunch or something too. This way we can pretend that we’re out with you on a nice day out. I don’t have a life or friends of my own so that would be fantastic for me. 😉

[@samglendenning9884]

Excellent video Elliot; would love to see you do more of these Blu-Ray hunting videos in the future’; ‘Inside Man’ is a really solid Spike Lee film; I need to grab the Blu-Ray of it aswell 😀👍

[@ElliotCoen]

Cheers Sammy, I’ll have to do more soon!

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

Our city only had an HMV (music) store in a local mall for less than 2 years in the mid 1990s and it was quite a place with a great selection. It lent such an international cachet to have such a tiffany company in our medium-sized city. Really was sad when it closed.

[@mackchats6520]

So lucky, we had a HMV re-open here in Dublin last year but they don't sell Blu Ray 4K or DVD unfortunately.

[@Dezimondo]

Peeping Tom and Mosquito Squadron look really interesting. Btw awesome video mate 👍🔥💿😃

[@rafficrashid867]

More of this please. 😊

[@spfilmviewers5629]

The Good, The Bad, The Weird is an excellent movie that I'm actually doing a podcast episode on next week. Lucky that you have picked up the bluray, I've watched it via MUBI

[@JoeyEsqueda]

There is not a single store in Mexico carying physical media anymore. I watch these videos with envy.

[@ElliotCoen]

I’m sorry to hear that Joey :(

[@BigPauly]

From what I understand there’s actually CEX stores in Mexico too

[@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk]

I miss walking into a physical media shop like HMV...None of these stores near me,closest one is a 2 hour drive away😮

[@ElliotCoen]

Ah I’m sorry to hear that Marty! I’ve been loving your reviews lately

[@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk]

@ElliotCoen Thanks Elliot,been watching your channel for ages,I'm slowly getting used to filming myself 🙂

[@Steviedan-ts5pz]

Versus is an excellent action movie . Definetly worth a watch.

[@roachman1412]

Shopping online might be convenient but it's nothing like going to the video store in person wish we had this store in the US 2nd video i saw going here

[@chrissoto6331]

Finally a pickups video very interesting pickups

[@nathanthomas5133]

CEX can be good for bargains but i always make sure to check the discs - as they’re 2nd hand I’ve avoided some scratched discs by checking before buying

[@Biollante2kMillenium]

Great Picks! The Versus with the slipcover i got last year from wob for 10€ and it even was still sealed :D The Good, the Bad and the Weird is also a great movie, there are 5 seconds missing in the UK release, but i would not consider that all that bad if you can find it for a good price

[@Michael64425]

Nice video thank you.Not sure how HMV still keep going with those prices ! And CEX there seems to be a lot of variance on individual store prices compared to their online where you can pick up real bargains sometimes on for example World Cinema and OOP products.Its amazing sometimes what people sell.😮

[@RH1812]

Lucky to still have an HMV. Mines now a Tesco mini

[@Bartmanblues7]

Lion King 3 AKA 'The Lion King 1 1/2' is possibly worth a look, so titled because it's about the events of the original film but from Timon's and Pumbaa's perspectives. I seem to recall some interesting interweaving around the original story, a la Back to the Future Part II (but nowhere near as good). I don't think it quite pulled it off but an interesting concept.

[@ElliotCoen]

Well, you certainly intrigued me more! Maybe I’ll have to go back and get it… thanks for watching!

[@Bartmanblues7]

@@ElliotCoen Bear in mind I watched it with my young kids so adjust expectations accordingly 🤣 Good, Bad and Weird is an interesting watch also, enjoy! Great vid. I love browsing HMV, but rarely fork out :(

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

May I recommend cex and second hand stores. Picked up some real bargains.

[@physicalmediaodyssey]

Enjoy The Good, The Bad, The Weird. Entertaining film!🙌

[@1165mac]

I’m recommending Gran Turismo to everyone. It’s a fantastic throwback to 80s feel-good cinema, exciting, emotional, and expertly edited and directed. I’ve seen it four times and haven’t tired of it yet.

[@AduderReviews]

Cex can have some great finds.

[@Redroomantics]

I tell ya, you don’t need Katy Perry’s Part of Me on blu ray but if you ever see her Prismatic World Tour blu ray in the wild you’ll be in for a great time - looks and sounds beautiful!

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD is one of my favorite movies

[@AndyKing1963]

About time we got a Criterion sale

[@ElliotCoen]

Indeed, feels like the last one was 2 years ago maybe? They did a 3 for £30 once, that was amazing

[@spicemelange]

Now i feel stupid for not popping into CEX yesterday after visiting HMV. It was literally the shop opposite!

[@lostnthenoise]

I like this kind of video... Get to know a lot of titles....

[@ElliotCoen]

I’m glad you liked! There’s more coming

[@thebolam85]

Wow! Your HMV and CEX have a way bigger selection than mine. Very jealous.

[@ClintEastwood74]

The last time I was in CEX I bought THE LONG GOODBYE £5, FOOTBALL FACTORY £2 & THE HANGOVER 50p 😊

[@Noble3781]

I was going to buy Django recently but the UK release is missing hdr and Dolby vision, so had to import it from the USA which is annoying as I prefer the uk packaging.

[@lse9622]

I’ve bought pretty much all my physical media from CEX I’ve not got much mostly DVDs such as the criterion version of the Irishman, the only blu ray I got was the Warner steelbook of the jazz singer

[@philsimmons5438]

More of these please 😊 Which town did you visit Elliott?

[@ElliotCoen]

This is the beautiful scenic town of Stockport

[@philsimmons5438]

Excellent. I'm in Lymm. Looks like a quality CEX. May have to fight you for some of those titles 😁

[@snakebite69]

Simply excellent Elliot, love the Blu Ray hunting. Was this in Manchester city centre?? Andy H ☮

[@ElliotCoen]

Hey Andy, no this was Stockport, just south of Manchester city centre. Cheers!

[@snakebite69]

@@ElliotCoen Thanks for the heads up Elliot. I used to live in Manchester 94' to 07' and have visited Stockport a couple of times. Still pop down every so often to meet friends. That HMV looks huge and has a great selection. May have to frequent it next time I'm down there. Keep up the great Physical media vids. Love it. Andy H

[@MrKahlerHahn]

The oxford street hmv in London re-opened a while ago, didn‘t it?

[@ElliotCoen]

Yes I believe so! I need to make the trip to London sometime soon

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

The one in Doncaster is still around and the cex store here has one of the biggest selection of blu rays I've seen

[@EBFido1973]

Do more of this, it’s very cool to see what they sell in the UK, and your very lucky to still have store that sells Blu-ray because where I live, Montréal Canada, there’s nothing like that anymore 😢 No HMV or pawnshop that sells rare movies, most of the pawnshop here sells only cheap movies that are not the one that we like 👎🏻

[@rockinchimp]

I love Ark of the Sun God purely because it executes its car chases like an old episode or Thunderbirds

[@kevinsullivan8884]

The good the bad and the weird is so good and so much fun

[@user-dd7gt6ep5l]

I am jealouis when i see such a store.. 10 years orso here in holland the last moviestore closed doors... we can only buy nowadays online abroad 😢

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

Bought in hmv the Rock Hudson Doris Day trilogy £9.99 blu ray. Brilliant value. And criterion collection Magnificent Obsession starring Rock Hudson and Jayne Wyman £23. Bit pricy the latter.

[@oakie007]

Asteroid city now 6.99 at hmv

[@TheGrimmy11]

Would have been popping down to Stockport myself in the morning if you hadn't have bought that copy of Versus. Bargain.

[@asgeiroj]

I thought brits mostly just used the tube, no cars :P

[@marcjohnson3553]

Do those CEX stickers leave any traces?

[@ElliotCoen]

No none at all for me. Some stickers come off more easily than others but nothing a bit of heat can’t solve.

[@kokorospirit5006]

Please do more

[@tommyboi9]

Is that CEX in Stockport?

[@ElliotCoen]

It is!

[@pietroscarpa2384]

So many 4k disc's that I never have seen. I only buy my movies on Amazon and there isn't such a big choice.

[@dravenlee4473]

It's depressing seeing how huge that selection is in HMV. It reminds me of old stores like Suncoast. We have nothing like that in the states these days. There are a few FYEs left but their selection is small and basically double the price. Thankfully we have a lot of used media stores at least but hardly anything where you can buy new now. It's become an online world.

[@jimmydbags1070]

Kex ftw 😂

[@stevemoore1219]

Dont buy rumble in the bronx as its the cut US version

[@ElliotCoen]

Ah I did not know that, cheers Steve.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Just so you know, cex is pronounced sex. 😉

[@ElliotCoen]

I know I know but it’s always gonna be Kex for me. I can’t be telling my wife I’m nipping out for a trip to Sex now can I? 🤓

[@jdslater1]

It’s a 7.2 on IMDb. I’ve never seen a comment that said it’s bad. Done great money at the box office upon release.

[@aidanlynn]

I find HMV to be pretty overpriced. CEX can be good for finding hidden gems.

[@Johnny-kp9bj]

CeX can be great for bargains but deserve to be shamed for their careless method of applying multiple stickers to packaging which often damages artwork or warps cases.
