BYE BYE BLU-RAYS JUNE 2024!!! | Cleaning Out My Physical Media Closet!

[@Themartinezjoeshow]

I do it yearly as I always run out of room. I purged 2500 titles last year . An this year ran out of room again so took out 900 2 months back. You always have to curate your collection for new releases and films you want more

[@MoviesSue]

Damn Joe, that's alot of movies!!!

[@Themartinezjoeshow]

@@MoviesSue the bigger the collection the more you take out. So for me it's alot but needed space

[@BrRrii-bg9en]

Wow i would of loved to see you purge those movies 😮

[@NicholasVargo]

20:43 Actually it was Two of a Kind that destroyed Olivia Newton-John’s career. With Xanadu, it takes about nine or ten viewings to fully grasp it. If nothing else, the music is sensational! That DVD Steelbook of The Departed on the other hand is worth keeping because it has the Scorsese on Scorsese documentary. No Blu-Ray or 4K release of The Departed has that extra.

[@MoviesSue]

I don't keep things because of special features. Just my preference.

[@PhysicalMediadude]

Did the bullmoose that the steelbook crew go to close down? I saw in one of Dave’s recent videos he said it was his last trip at that location? Nice video!

[@MoviesSue]

Thanks! The store just moved locations!

[@sgrabtune3950]

Xanadu is one of my favorite movies I've seen it over 20 times. It's a little different but I love it the animation part in it is really good & so are the songs Gene Kelly is great dancer in this movie. Some people love this movie some people don't. I know it's not the best movie but it sure is interesting. Olivia did a bunch of these songs in concert all the time & fans love the tunes. There are even songs on the soundtrack by The Electric Light Orchestra that are really good and they do some of their songs in concert too. I only have it on DVD but my copy comes with the soundtrack on CD as a bonus.

[@JeffDuperron]

Magic is a freaking awesome song

[@donatrandom]

Nice yeah I sometimes just switch out the dvd to the Blu-ray & keep the dvd steelbook

[@Trekapedia]

Man I was gonna ask if people could purchase some of those so ty for letting us know what you’re doing with them lol! The Crow has been one of my favorite movies ever since it came out in 1994 and I was gonna see if I could get it from you. Still can’t find the 4K though hearing your story about getting it and seeing your review gives me hope I can get it soon! Awesome video and ty again for the content Sue. Keep up the great work and I love seeing you do videos like this and can’t wait for you and the crew to get together again soon!

[@kevinheasley279]

In order to help save space when I upgrade I make combo packs. For instance the departed is only 4K. I took my departed blu ray and combined it with the 4K to make a 4K / blu ray combo. I don’t like when the 4ks do not include the blu ray copy as well. I did same with American Sniper 4K and Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3. For some reason only Beverly Hills Cop (#1) was 4K and blu ray combo. I do the same thing with blu ray and dvd versions of same movie. Helps save space and allows me to still keep all formats of the movies I truly love.

[@OldMan_PJ]

I just purged Blu-rays that I've upgraded to the 4K by selling them in a garage sale this past Saturday. Even though some of them are worth upwards of $10 on Ebay it's just not worth the hassle, I don't even care if a reseller bought them, spread the wealth.

[@terminator2judgmentday30th4]

I was so happy when I started my blu-ray collection back in 2015, I cleaned all my VHS tapes and DVD's and put the blu-rays on the shelf. But now, 9 years later, I'm watching how Sue say goodbye to her blu-rays and this just makes me sad. :( Crazy how time flies now, I have to start all over again, but this time from blu-ray to 4K I want to watch high quality movies too.

[@namrockjr5515]

My OCD would kick in and I couldn't put a bluray slip on a 4K

[@mattchamberlain3005]

Same, all Blu rays and 4K’s MUST TO SEPARATE 😂😂

[@MoviesSue]

Funny enough it doesn't bother me. I want to save the slips!

[@Bluehawks206]

Why not? I do it if the 4k art sucks. I have great holographic 3d Slips that are DVDs and I put Blu-rays and 4Ks in them.

[@ralfwalter3923]

I've been purging due to double-dips. Interestingly, not all 4Ks are necessary imo, and I've been opting to keep the Blu-Ray over the 4K because the 4K lacks in special features, over-DNR or the film just is not any better overall in 4K. 4K is not the be-all-end-all IMO. Many are not very good. The others I have dropped are dupes with alternate artwork or even films I realize I'm not going to watch more than a few times. It's a journey for everyone collecting/watching film. Cool video.

[@MoviesSue]

Thanks for watching!

[@oz5507]

I recently purged a lot of my DVDs and blu rays as well. I have the same departed steel book. I decided to keep it just because of how cool it looks. I don’t have many steel books in my collection but the ones I do have i decided will remain in my collection

[@andys8483]

I also have a 'purge' every 2 to 3 months... mostly books, console games & blurays. I am in the UK 🇬🇧 & rather than go the eBay route, I cash them in with a couple of second-hand companies. Sometimes, I just get pennies or items may even get rejected when you scan the barcode & in this case, I take them down to my local cancer charity shop. I haven't yet made the jump to 4k yet & even if I do eventually purchase a 4k TV at some point, I won't be upgrading all my regular blurays... maybe only a handful of my fave films.

[@wardripj88]

A really fun and underrated part of the hobby!

[@Dontuween]

I do the same thing, although for me, I sell some, others I give to family & friends. Once in a blue moon, I donate to my local library.

[@williambearden8716]

Yes there is a 4K release of the Great Escape

[@Movie_Collector_Maniac]

Yep, thanks to Kino Lorber. I also own the Criterion as well and will keep it.

[@roachman1412]

I would keep the departed dvd steelbook it looks good

[@PS5Pro2024]

I feel like edward scissorhands get a 4k Treatment

[@MoviesSue]

As far as I know, it doesn't have one.

[@deadpoolfanatic1802]

Actually the Salem Bullmoose is moved now. Technically now have you trade on at a different location.....

[@MoviesSue]

Ok but it's still Bullmoose, so I'm not understanding your comment?

[@deadpoolfanatic1802]

@@MoviesSue what I meant was Plaistow is olny 10 Miles away from Salem.

[@KBLovesMovies]

I will start my October watching with IT (1990) if you agree to as well!

[@MoviesSue]

Deal!!!

[@mamabluray3343]

Sounds good !

[@BrianSmith-lj6ug]

I do see some collectors that have totally lost control on KZbin.Enjoyed video.

[@MoviesSue]

I don't judge anyone for how they collect or what they do. I just do what's best for myself.

[@Movies_Books_scouting_Autism]

the ones im getting rid off are brokedown place with Claire Daines mindcage with Martian Lawernce the minute you wake up dead triple threat zodiac with Robert downy jr jake Gyllenhaal and mark Ruffalo and other 15 movies i did not care for

[@blakegullickson726]

Love these videos

[@MoviesSue]

Thanks for watching!

[@noelmaldonado7124]

Xanadu great movie.

[@MoviesSue]

Happy you enjoy it.

[@ClarksMediaArrangements]

Can we get the breakfast club on 4k? Anyone else agree?

[@MoviesSue]

Rumor was it was on the way, so hopefully it still is!

[@ClarksMediaArrangements]

@@MoviesSue I hope so I own the dvd, the blu ray, and the criterion blu ray but I gotta have it on 4k.

[@candacecherry2846]

Hay Susan sounds grate girl

[@davidbyron6981]

Where do the old movies go you getting rid of

[@MoviesSue]

If you watched the video, you'd know the answer.

[@davidbyron6981]

@MoviesSue oh didnt hear it must of missed it. Ty

[@patricklena9062]

And the flip side to that coin, is, if you get rid of something and then it goes out of print and it is highly Wanted, then you could have gotten twice as much for it. Just impatient, rather than downright unloading it

[@MoviesSue]

I don't really care about getting top dollar for something. I just want to get rid of it.

[@6324jorge]

Whoever said your collection had to be all 4K or Blu-ray there are a lot of movies out there on DVD I will never ever see the light of Blu-ray or 4K limiting yourself to collecting besides the DVDs are a lot cheaper

[@MoviesSue]

No one told me my collection had to be a certain way. Obviously my decision.

[@patricklena9062]

Sounds like you need to take a trip to bullmoose. And get some more store credit The new store should be open any time now in Plaistow

[@MoviesSue]

Yes, exactly what I said in the video!!!!!!

[@cianeck6993]

I may never fuIIy quit on ALL of my BluRay movies or their cases. I know some people may disIike them because they are in pIastic (at least when they compare them with steelbooks ..that can scratch easily haha) 😅 ..but BLUE is my main favorite color and I still like them (the normal cases of the blurays). And I already said in the past that NOT ALL the movies needs to be in 4K or watched mainly in 4K (some are perfectIy fine just as BluRays too). Or at Ieast that is how I feel (and maybe some other people too). Unless you are like in that term for gamers / gaming side: A ''graphics wh0re'' 😅 (who cares especially about the graphics ..how great are the graphics). I had my moments of being a ''graphics wh0re'' too in the past 😅 ..but it happened rather with some video games I really love (gameplay wise too tho) ..and wanted them to also look great. But I understand Sue when she said that some of her 4K movies also comes with a bluRay disc in the case ,,so I can get rid of the case of a movie who had only or mainly the bluray disc there ..because I have the 4K + bluray discs version in some other case already''. If I had something like in her example.. I wouId do the same. 😁
