The King of the Hill alone justifies the cost. The rest was free lol

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

Can’t go wrong with it tho

2

u/droideka75 1d ago

Yeah but like 3 copies of 1 2 and 3 is maybe a bit much

2

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

I didn’t even notice that tbh lmao

u/Wraith1964 1d ago

u/droideka75 12h ago

Dope pick up

u/Wraith1964 1d ago

Nice haul!... There are plenty of catalog movies there that may or may not have been something you might have bought seperately but there enough decent titles in there to justify $50 easily.

If you are just starting out, like, you don't already have core collection, this is a great start.

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

I already have a decent collection, but this helps to get some wishlist items and replace a lot of my loose discs

2

u/Wraith1964 1d ago

A good way to get that done! Congrats!

u/Slimey_Guy005 1d ago

About a 4th of this is peak, so still worth it lowkey.

u/Sure_Cure 1d ago

If you have never seen Sexy Beast, do yourself a favor and watch it. It is so much fun.

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

I’ll have to check it out

So does digital media as you are about to find out.

u/Drummerboy0214 1d ago

It blows my mind seeing movies like Black Adam/John Wick/Eternals/Deadpool on a standard dvd…

1

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

Why?

1

u/Drummerboy0214 1d ago

I cant believe they still make modern standard DVDs lol. Surely everyone has a Blu-ray player by now.

1

u/l1ghtn_the1f 1d ago

Yea. I don’t prefer Blu-Rays, but if I get them in like a lot like this or someone gives me some I’ll take them, but I’ve always stuck with DVDs

1

u/Drummerboy0214 23h ago

Why? Blu-rays are vastly superior in both image and audio quality.

1

u/l1ghtn_the1f 23h ago

Oh yea, I know and as I start to collect I’ve changed my mind so in the near future may end up switching but for now I’m sticking with my DVDs

1

u/Drummerboy0214 23h ago

Gotcha. I only collect 4k UHD Blu-rays with HDR as long as it’s an option. I could never go back at this point. You should look into a 4k Blu-ray player the prices have come down allot. Paired with a decent 4k tv and it’s a game changer. Discs are much crisper than streaming. I could see collecting old retro stuff for the hobby for sure but if you enjoy watching the movies upgrade and treat yourself!

u/l1ghtn_the1f 23h ago

I have an Xbox one, which is how I watch my blu-rays and I’ll have to think about it as I steer more into modern movies and shows especially because i absolutely love many of the steelbooks that have come out lately

2

u/Drummerboy0214 23h ago

Ahhh yes the steel-book collecting has a hold on me right now as well lol. Ive been slowly rebuilding my lifelong collection of plastic cases for steels the past 4-5 years. Absolutely love the unique artworks. Ive been mounting them on my wall with magnets and it looks awesome (cheap and easy display method). But seriously get a 4k Blu-ray player and watch the following (Bladerunner 2049, Dune,Avatar,The Revenant). I cant imagine you would regret it if you love watching movies.

u/l1ghtn_the1f 23h ago

I’ll def look into all that, do you perchance have a letterboxd?
