#NEW MOVIES DVD MOVIE#
No longer do you have to pay $15-20 for a movie on a disc and then find a place for that disc in your home.
Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes, Vudu, and others offer a plethora of choices. The big player these days is streaming, and in theory, it’s a good one. The age of DVDs was a bit of a renaissance for film fans since A) we finally got our movies in the correct aspect ratio as opposed to the days of pan-and-scan on VHS B) there could be a wealth of special features that sometimes functioned like film school in a box and C) there was an easy way to share movies I loved with friends.īut the days of the DVD/Blu-ray collection have come to a close. And yet I don’t regret collecting these DVDs because it gave me a valuable resource and a way to dive into movies.
I started collecting DVDs in my senior year of high school, and continued to collect them throughout college, which, in retrospect, was not the smartest idea since at the end of every school year I would have to pack up boxes and boxes of DVDs to either send home or store with family who lived near campus.
Please note that titles like Wonderstruck, The Handmaiden, and Lady Macbeth are now on Blu-ray, but the larger point remains that studios dragged their feet on giving these indie titles a release on physical media. Note: This Collider original feature was initially published on a prior date, but we're re-posting due to changes in the streaming landscape.
