come with me shopping for physical media | mostly DVDs

[@PossessedbyHorror]

UPDATE: I did indeed already have Unfriended on DVD lol and I found Pulse (2001) on ThriftBooks!

[@SteveK-hz6mr]

Sarah, you mentioned Wes Craven. Have you seen his movie Deadly Friend? It’s a slice of 80s horror cheese. Check it out.

[@ClassicsTv]

Wow Sarah I really like that plus those of the stores I go to get DVDs and Blu Rays for my collection too

[@JebeckyGranjola]

I have an unopened bluray of Ringu 2 and 0 I'd love to send you. If you had a PO box I'm sure fans would send tons of stuff.

[@ashleighmorgan]

It would be so hard for me to remember which movies I have and which ones I don’t with a collection size like yours lol

[@Haleyncasey]

question, do you go to actual stores or do you just buy online on amazon/ebay? Ive always been confused as to why people actually go to stores for dvds?

[@packedentertainment2866]

@@Haleyncasey bro what? Do you just not go to stores to shop for anything? Or is it just DVDs that you feel aren’t worth the trip to go somewhere for them?

[@Haleyncasey]

@@packedentertainment2866 there are a lot of things that make more sense to buy at a store rather than online - some obvious ones like food and clothes. dvds, Im not sure why you would go shopping for when buying and searching for specific movies and shows is so much easier online. You could literally spend like a couple of hours just searching for lets say five movies/shows youre trying to buy on dvd at different stores (and likely not finding anything!) vs. taking like 10-20 mins online just comparing different prices/shipping. So I do find it interesting that people actually shop for dvds- especially people that collect movies/shows thats more than just the current mainstream/most popular stuff.

[@AlexandraAlexis37]

My husband and I have a pretty good size dvd collection probably 100-200 if I had to guess. However my uncle passed away 1yr ago and I choose to inherit his dvd collect, which is about 2,000 😮. They’re currently in boxes, but I’m so excited to have them out one day. He was single, never married, and no children so that’s what he spent money on. I have a dream of potently opening a video rental store one day and being able to share them with others who also miss renting actual movies. ❤

[@geomentaltrickmaster]

Omg I love this 🥹 that’s such a good idea I’d totally rent videos from you

[@ivonne58270]

Please do this! I miss video rental stores!

[@kawaiiwitchbaby]

Wow! Its great that you have those to remember him by! I once found so many awesome movies/tv shows at a library bookstore and it seemed like they all came from one owner who had very specific taste in horror/thriller/BBC detective things. The older ladies that run the place said it was an older man who passed and his family were cleaning out his home.

[@darksider9534]

Damn that's kinda sad actually. I feel like I'd turn out to be exactly like your uncle (I'm single, child free, not married) lol with a massive physical media collection after I die with no one to inherit it 😂

This video just EMANATES cozy, fall, vibes. Felt really comforting!

[@adamlouie1503]

It makes me so happy that physical is resurging in social media now that people are becoming more aware of the dangers of streaming

[@cantkillcliffrose]

What dangers of streaming? You can literally enjoy both. I fucking hate normies and young people getting into collecting and shit. Yall ruined record collecting, but letting Taylor Swift and that fat blonde chick print their shit music on vinyl.

[@bngr_bngr]

Another source for DVDs and CDs is library book stores. Most libraries have them. I usually go to the main branch. They sell them for $1 either a movie or a set. The other day I found some that were still in their original wrapping.

[@MovieGuy0896]

Agreed I hit up all of my local library bookstores, thrift stores, consignment stores, and record stores all the time.

[@LegalVampire]

Thank you for bringing us along for the hunt ❤ Building a DVD collection is also a hobby I love

[@snailflowers]

i work at a thrift store and am always amazed at the little treasures i find in the CD and DVD sections, unfortunately because i work there i can’t shop there so i’m always really excited when other people find and buy them. side note but working at a thrift store where i’m not allowed to shop has really helped with my scarcity mindset when it comes to thrifting… guys there will ALWAYS be another version of the thing you find second hand, if you can’t get it right now don’t fear you will be able to find it again

[@kurtrussell5228]

Don't act like you don't have friends or family come in and buy what you want, it's not even a secret you workers do that.

[@snailflowers]

@@kurtrussell5228 lolz i’ve literally never once had a friend or family member go in to buy anything for me nor have i ever set anything aside or hidden anything for them… i have texted my sister on my breaks and said things like “hey there’s a depeche mode CD at the thrift store right now” or “hey there are a lot of good sweaters at the thrift store today” but yeah i don’t hide shit for her to find and if someone else gets to it first that’s fine… i just seriously don’t need anything else. but yeah i’m happy to tell my family that there’s stuff i think they would like at the thrift store but i don’t set it aside for them. the store i work at is REALLY strict about their “no employees are allowed to shop” policy

[@libramoons]

“the cave” secondhand store looks SO cool, if i lived near there i would be there all the time lol

[@blahblahblahstuff1]

Such a fun idea for a video!! Please do more of these for books and/or music too!

[@thejenmath]

Hip hip hooray for physical media! No one in my life understands why I still buy blu-rays and DVDs, but you summed it up. And yeah, nothing can beat their special features. I still love to watch the movie with the director’s commentary.

[@CobyV28]

It's honestly a blessing to see you still collect physical media. It really does make me feel better to know that collectors still love to get as many movies as possible. It's great that movie influencers and fans like yourself help us movie lovers have hope that physical media is not ready to die yet. I still collect physical media to this day and i love my huge collection of movies. Loved this video! Keep up the great work ❤

[@sir.reelcinema]

Back in the 90s when DVDs first came out, they were telling everyone that VHS tapes only have a seven year lifespan. Trying to get people to upgrade it’s probably the same thing. People are saying that there’s a lifespan on DVDs thinking that maybe streaming would be better, however we both know it’s not. 2:42

[@DanielMartActor]

Please keep doing videos like this! I've been collecting movies since i was 12-13 (25 now), seeing collection videos like these is always so comforting

[@cayanne3420]

I love thriftbooks! And I agree, while streaming is pretty convenient, I much prefer having physical media! Just knowing I have this and it's mine, nobody can take it, is a nice feeling. And watching special features is so unique and fun.

[@Meowlo]

The delayed gratification comment is so true. I've been trying to build up my book library with older editions by thrifting more than buying them for a markup on something like pango...and when I manage to hunt one down, it feels like such an accomplishment.

[@averyjennett9810]

I thought I was the only person who loved the movie Before I Fall. SUPER underrated. BANGING soundtrack. Nuanced characters. Bold ending. Loved it.

[@kurdt_patrick]

As a long time physical media collector, it’s way cool seeing the younger generation getting into it. I hope you find your favorite version of “Shutter”. I’ve got a pretty well curated collection of DVDs,Blu-ray, and 4K. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve sold various formats only to repurchase as missing a special Feature from a older version bothers me if I love it…😂😂

[@KarintheninJa]

I am literally salivating at the sight of the size of the selections in these stores. I have nothing like this anywhere near me 😭 I’m now living vicariously through this video

[@talamina]

This is so comforting for no reason

[@xghoulishgalx]

DVDs reign supreme! My collection is somewhere around 4000-5000 - all DVDs because many have never gotten a Blu-ray release in Australia or were the more affordable option

[@armando7060]

Ok but that House of Wax shirt 🔥

[@JaciStarr]

I've always been a fan of physical media, back when I was in college in like 2011 I started transitioning my DVD collection into a Blu Ray collection - that was the one thing I allowed myself to collect as a broke college student... I made it a game of trying to get them for $10 or less. Now I'm super happy to have my collection, especially during periods of time when I couldn't afford internet.

[@patricktaylor2733]

I've been collecting physical media since 1988. I've got more movies now than i even have the storage space for anymore but i don't care because nothing beats owning your own physical copies of your favorite films. It's refreshing to finally see someone who still buys DVDs and isn't a Blu-ray/4k only collector. The Cave and Cursed are both faves of mine. I've honestly never heard of Talk to Me but i might check it out.

[@jem5771]

Cursed is a fun movie that happened to be absolute CHAOS behind the scenes. Worth reading the Wikipedia page on the production.

[@alib6615]

Heck yeah! I have bought physical media more than once if an anniversary edition comes out or a special edition comes out and has AMAZING special features that the old version did not have. Also, kudos to the studios that put awesome artwork on the Blu Rays and DVDs. I was a child of the 80s and a teenager of the 90s, so I have never stopped buying physical media. Loved this video!!! Thanks, Sarah!

An enjoyable tour and I am envious that you have a great store like 'The Cave' - that was awesome. As I am now 75, my ability to walk around is not what it used to be.

[@hebihebineko]

if you think about it, people probably spend like about 150€ a year on a single streaming service... you could pick out the few movies and shows you usually watch secondhand and save tons of money, and never really lose your beloved pieces of cinema and TV.

[@chrryblssmz]

in the UK we have a place called Cex and the shops are so tiny compared to The Cave! they usually have a very small World Cinema section where I occasionally find foreign horror gems but it's usually just a place they dump all the workout DVDs lol. DVDs are so nostalgic for me (I only vaguely remember having VHS tapes) and I will always collect them ♡

I lived in Sacramento back when Dimple Records was open and I loooved shopping there! Hearing you mention it brought back so many memories ☺️

OMG I love this! My best friend lives on her own now and cut down on streaming services since they're expensive and she's looking to get a DVD player and stock up on DVD's! personally, as someone who is a Millennial and studying film, I love the idea of keeping physical media still. I think it's the nostalgia for me!

[@Xmasonfieldingx]

The way u edit ur videos is so visually appealing

[@moviefreakjps]

I wish I had some places with the used movies around here. I used to go to Half Price Books when I lived in the city. Sold off most of my laserdisc collection when I was in a bind, but the manager was so happy and was telling a worker what they were lol

[@chriswebb5852]

Hunting for physical media is one of my favorite things to do. Along with drifting for clothes and other home decor items. It's always really satisfying when I find a really cool Fox set or a collector's edition of something, add a second hand store, that way I know I have something special.

[@cinemacreep]

I Do this all the time, I am a horror VHS collector and FINDING IT IN THE WILD is the best part. It's easy to buy online but when you find that one obscure film you've been looking for in a thrift store its the ultimate rush! Its also a never-ending treasure hunt! Also that House Of Wax shirt is sick!

[@taylorn9361]

I grew up in a physical media collecting household and I built my own collection. But, I sold a lot of it for extra cash in my early twenties, which I regret. I’m trying to get back into it! Thanks for taking us along with you

[@kelceybear4478]

i love love love physical media. theres something so comforting about a physical copy. i miss movie stores so much 😭

[@Thirdeyeddeer]

Arh yes! Just like books, and cd's, I would much rather just have everything physical. Think it is both because thats the way I grew up; but also because like you mentioned: not all streaming servicec have the things you're specific looking for Also, it is so rewarding to go hunting for old media and books

[@Mesa37122]

Fun video idea, I'd watch more of these! Hunting for second hand media (mostly books for me) is one of my favorite things to do on weekends when I don't have plans. DVDs/Blurays that I'm working on collecting are all the seasons of Buffy, X Files and Bob's Burgers. It is just too expensive to have all the streaming services every month and most of my Hulu watching was just rewatching which feels silly to pay a subscription for each month.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

The Cave is the best! Erie Loch is the man!!!

[@Badusername2000]

Im a giant proponent of physical, 1 just because i like holding a thing, and 2 obviously with how dumb these media companies are being you kinda need physical media so you dont your favorite shows and movies

[@Jennilynne]

Right. You never know when something will leave a streaming service and not reappear. I have plenty of movies and shows that aren't available on any and haven't been for a long time. Also sometimes the version streaming isn't the same as the one available on dvd. Due to inability to get rights to music or censorship.

A lot of Op Shops around where I live do 50c DvDs so even if I don’t find anything on my wish list I will always buy a bunch random ones that I normally wouldn’t take the chance on. Anything I like stays on the shelf and then the ones I’m not keen on either go to friends or get re donated. Way cheaper than renting through a streaming service and normally way more variety.
