My ENTIRE Physical Media Collection! | Blu-ray, Criterion, Vinyl, and more

Welcome to my physical media collection, where everything is a “classic”, and sometimes there are two of them. Sorry for any camera glitches, also wanted to acknowledge we don't get super into the nitty gritty of 4k vs. Blu-ray, where everything came from, etc., just wanted to group into the largest categories and include everything! Thank you SO much for 10k subs!

I love watching physical media videos because it really reaffirms me that more people than me still collect physical media and makes me love it even more. I've been a fan of you for a while now ever since I discovered your Letterboxd, but for some reason I felt nervous in commenting on one of your videos. I hope your doing well today and keep on the great work, Sydney!

[@SydneyVolpe]

It is a scary time but i do see people being inspired all the time to start their own collection and that’s so awesome!! And I appreciate the support so much, comment or not!!🙌🏼

[@JayPatrol]

You should watch lets get physical media with rob burnett and Deiter Bastian they talk about physical media and whats out now or coming out and share their collection of stuff. You should check it out

[@christopherwarner3390]

Congratulations Sydney on your success on your KZbin, podcast and TikTok very excited for what the future holds for you!! ❤

[@SydneyVolpe]

Aw thanks so much Christopher!!!

[@jakedcolman]

I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time now and seeing the evolution of these videos has been amazing. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, you are the best movie reviewer on KZbin. Your videos are so well made and seeing your passion for movies has definitely grown my passion for them as well. Thank you for making these videos, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we love them and hope that you continue making them and we wish you nothing but more success on your journey. So Sydney, congrats on 10k, and here’s to so many more! Also, awesome physical media collection you got! Those Dune book ends are sick!

[@SydneyVolpe]

Wow, this made me tear up thank you so much for the kind words! It’s so easy to be passionate about film in this community, and I’m glad I’ve been able to pay it forward in some way! Very very grateful to you guys and looking forward to the future!

[@tylercwhitmore]

10K congrats!!! I am so envious of that collection

[@SydneyVolpe]

Aw thanks tyler!!!

[@jasoncase9481]

I’m very happy to see you remain satisfied with physical media for movies in the common Streaming Era.

[@SenorPequenos]

I've bought so many cheap DVDs that I still haven't seen, I just saw a $2 movie and said "yes" I need to bunker down for a week and just watch everything. Congratulations on 10k subscribers!!!! Very deserved

[@ericelrod7672]

I could listen to you ramble on about movies and trinkets all day

[@jarrodbrecht7002]

Congrats on 10k Sydney. 100k is just around the corner. You are the absolute best. I'm still on a social media sabbatical but had to stop and say hello. I have never seen 'Some Like it Hot' or 'Singin in the Rain', both been on watchlist forever, I guess now it's time. Seeing your Licorice Pizza Blu-ray brought back some memories.

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thanks so much Jarrod, I’m so grateful for your support over the years!! I hope your time away has been helpful, and omg i think you would love both those movies!

[@toontalks976]

Congrats on 10k again Sydney! Here’s to a hopeful future in movies and being friends!

[@stetsoncrobison]

[@mistersomeone2102]

Congrats on 10K subs, and great collection as well! Your KZbin success and physical collection are both amazing!! Excited AF for your future!! I've only recently started collecting physical media and oh man I wish I started sooner, but I'm getting there. Some Highlights so far include The Thing, Hot Fuzz, Fargo, Evil Dead 2, Casino Royale, Mad Max Fury Road, Logan, Requiem for a Dream, Paprika, The Raid 1/2, Day of the Dead Blu-rays, Dawn of the Dead, Videodrome uncut version and a Criterion of Cure. I'm only barely getting started but I'm getting the hang of it. Hail physical media! Once again, huge congratulations on 10K subs and so happy you're channel is doing well and growing in success!

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thank you so much!!! :) and damn what a list. I think i convinced myself i had Videodrome once and then discovered i didn’t and got sad. Good movie.

Loved this video! If you're going to be doing "Doctor Sleep" on the podcast - I HIGHLY recommend the Director's Cut, it's a masterpiece and the extra time really makes a difference. I was a bit meh on the theatrical cut, but DC was everything. Also. ALSO. I've never met anyone who loves "Legend" as much as me, so we are now instantly friends.

[@SydneyVolpe]

I always knew you had taste but Legend is kind of the ultimate litmus test, you rock thank you for stopping by!! Def taking notes about doctor sleep✍🏼✍🏼

[@dfcintron]

Agreed! Raid 2 shocked me in how on par it is with # 1.

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thanks friend! Glad we could be part of this community together for so long! Would looove to see your collection omg. And yeah Raid 2 better prepare to get watched

[@BorikenWarrior]

I still have a very large collection of movies on CED and in particular, Laser Disc. I have many special editions with the laser discs, stuff that cost me around $149 to acquire and I can get them today for less than $50. Grrr! I have many that you mentioned on those older formats but these days, I am investing more in Blu-ray discs. I concentrate on older films such as the Ray Harryhausen collections, the original Universal Monster collections and even Metropolis (amazing film, not for everybody). I just picked up the entire original Star Trek collection in metal. I had a Disney account and decided drop it last month. I had it only for my wife who loves the old Disney classics. So what I am doing is buying up all the Disney classics on Blu-ray. I already bought 12 titles the past few weeks and I'll be getting more as the weeks go by. When I looked at the cost, it would be cheaper to get the movies over a short period of time instead of keeping the Disney account open. You pay the money, watch the classic and then what? This way we have it in physical form and once paid for, it's paid for. It's just a matter of economics. Long term, I would love to replace my CED and Laser Disc movies with either DVD or Blu-ray versions. Many of those I know are not available outside of those formats but eventually, they will get replaced. Thanks for the video.

[@moviesyesterday9269]

Started watching your content last year through TikTok & as someone who loves film & film criticism it really makes me happy to see someone thrive in this medium the way that you have. Keep going because you’re doing such an amazing job & I hope I can make a 10k subscriber video someday of my 400+ movie collection🙂

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thank you so much!! And umm i think you should make it right now!

[@lemonperson4459]

Thank you for showing your collection. Glad to see other people collecting physical media.

​@@SydneyVolpe You've got incredible taste in movies, looking forward to watching the rest of your stuff

[@Daniel_Plainview5]

Congrats Sydney! Love your videos a lot and would love to see more content like this that isn’t about new releases! Do you ever consider doing videos where you discuss movies from a particular filmmaker, time period, or genre? For example, I’d love to watch a video where you share all about your love for PTA and his movies. Or it could be something like “my top ten criterions”. I’d love to see you keep branching out in general. Congrats again! Love the content.

[@twentyeightstudio]

great collection! thanks for the videos!

[@SlipMaker]

This is the third physical media haul from a channel I like that I watched front to back despite my personal collection just being a zipper DVD case with Wonderfalls, Galaxy Quest, and all the Ratchet and Clank games. Also, huge congrats on the milestone!

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thank you!! And wow, that is a small but mighty collection. But yeah PM videos are weirdly entertaining, it is the only time i will watch something really long lol

[@scottdieckhaus8635]

First of all, I just started watching a few of your videos this week. Quite fun. As a Laurence Fishburne fan myself, I wanted to recommend “Higher Learning” if you have not seen it. In addition to him, the movie also stars Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, Omar Epps, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Connelly, Michael Rappaport, etc.

[@SydneyVolpe]

Thanks so much for watching!! Will add it to my list sounds awesome✍🏼

I've been following your content for exactly 2 years and I'm very happy about your evolution as a creator I love what you bring to the platforms and it was wonderful to watch you grow I'll never forget when you commented every week on the episodes of the third season of The Boys!! I've already gotten emotional but congrats Sydney!! For the 10k😅🙌🏻🤍

[@SydneyVolpe]

I can’t wait for the new season of the boys!! Thank you SO much for being here for so long. Always makes me smile when i get a comment from you.

[@willdebeast21]

Congrats on 10K subs!! Great collection - I also love the steelbooks and Criterion Collection, so I try to stick to those "premium" sets now and avoid normal blu-ray/4k boxes since I think they're made of cheap plastic where the discs tend to fall out :(

Congratulations on 11K, keep up the great work! :)

Don't comment much but congrats on the 10k Sydeny! Found you on LB when I joined the platform and have been following ever and just wanna say keep up the good work! Also yea I am kinda the same boat, I love physical media, but as a high school (I just graduated from high school) I barely have any money to buy my own movies on physical so yea its difficult:< can't wait to actually start earning.

[@SydneyVolpe]

That means the world thanks so much! Congrats on graduating, but yeah i had to stick to eBay and facebook marketplace for a while haha but thrifting stuff can be so fun! Either way you’ve got time!

[@justheretocommentokdontwan685]

I own so many it's hard to count, for storage reasons though I get rid of the cases and just keep the discs, which isn't a great practice for a collector, but I don't have the space and it will make moving with them easier, I also buy 1000 disc metal storage cases rather than have them on display, not ideal but I just don't have the room

[@SydneyVolpe]

That sounds like a nifty strategy though!! I can only imagine having that many!

[@SidneyJenkins1973]

Hired to Kill is an okay low budget action film from Nico Mastorakis. If you like Van Damme or Seagal movies you'll probably like it. Arrow also put out another one of his called The Zero Boys that I would recommend. Great to see a younger person who loves The Warriors. It is one of my favorites ever as well. I've heard a lot of "It is so boring" from the younger generation.

Just discovered you; great presentation - you came across much less nervous than you said you felt. I always fail to prepare enough but I struggle through... and you had a new subscriber the moment you said *Blade Runner* was your favourite movie... and you share my love of _John Woo_ and _John Carpenter_ too! I'll not go into the huge number of other movies you have I'm a big fan of, we'd be here all day... I'm lucky enough to own a lot more titles (that I can't fit on shelves), a lot of which we may not agree on, but your and my favourites seem to have a big overlap 😀... and, even with a full catalogue of my collection on my phone, I still make errors and have unintentional doubles; I have too many intentional ones too 🤣 Oh, and I _Love_ those *Dune* bookends! Obviously congratulations on the 10K subs... you seem to have kept adding more exponentially.👏

Hi Sydney! I'm curious, what determines if you get a movie in blu-ray vs 4k?

Ambulance is a masterpiece without question. His movies may not be for everyone, but Michael Bay is a master of his craft. He really pushed drone cinematography forward with his work in Ambulance.
