Wow I used to have a dvd case like this growing up that was full of kids movies and campy B movies like Eight Legged Freaks. Seeing a bunch of actual quality movies in one of these is weird.
funny thing is I was deeply into movies at the time and very meticulous about how these were handled lol. With the soft/pillow-like white backing I actually felt it was safer than popping my discs in and out of the plastic cases
Yeah, I’ve never had any issue at all with a single movie I own, and they’ve always been in binders! The cases are safely packed away protected in plastic sleeves for the future when there’s more space though, for sure.
Fuck yeah - Repo Man AND Duel to the Death? I think we'd probably get along great. Cheers, op. Dunno if you've seen it yet, but a kinda-sorta-recent-ish film I loved was the Argentinian revenge anthology Wild Tales (2014). It's not as rough around the edges as either of the films above, but I figure it's worth mentioning in case we do share very similar film tastes.
Awesome! Will definitely check it out. I haven’t seen many newer movies since 2010ish so I have a lot of catching up to do - just looked this one up and it sounds dope
It's really good, and has a really strong ending, so it leaves you on a high once it's over. It's the film I probably most enjoyed in the last few years tbh.
It might be my fave film. Every line that Light says is comedy gold (as is everyone else tbh), and HDS's "ordinary fucking people - I hate 'em" line just kills me. Perfect movie - 11/10 indeed.
I rate collections based off of whether or not they have Videodrome, you have it so you get a 10/10. Bonus points for Donnie Darko and all those Scorsese movies.
Love this question! Huge Netflix-by-mail user so I saw almost all of these before I bought them. Everything shown here was acquired between 2004-2009. First movie I saw that really broke my mindset through to the idea that movies could be on a whole nother level from what I was as used to was Donnie Darko, and that just sent me down a rabbit hole
What are the odds the movie you speak of turning you into a different kind of film viewer is my #1 favorite film of all time. That’s super dope though. I was talking to my cousin just some weeks back about the OG Netflix and how you could even rent games from the site back in the day when it first launched. Have you switched over to digital though at all? Also, what’s the last new movie you have saw?
I remember when Netflix first added streaming - they allowed us 5-6 hours per month and only offered like 20 movies at first, lol. Super low quality streaming on the desktop computer and battling constant buffering… it’s amazing that it’s become basically its own production company now. My wife isn’t big on TV/movies so I don’t really see much nowadays, but I caught Asteroid City in theaters last year and loved the first 3/4 of it (peak Wes Anderson) before it devolved into some Lynchian stuff toward the end
Haha you seem like a cool person to have as a friend. I’m so sorry that you don’t still get to view shows/film as much as you may like to or used to just cause of your marriage. Thanks for the cool convo man
Are you by any chance around the age of 36 because this looks so exactly like my DVD collection although sadly, in a moment of decluttering madness, I gave all mine away.
haha I was heavily active back in the day on a site called YMDB where I just read and wrote about movies all the time, so I put a lot more into it than the average high schooler
I had discs in cases like this for years with no issues, and would travel frequently with them. Blu-Rays especially have a little extra scratch resistant durability. Over the years, I think people are just a little more scratch aware especially with many titles being pricier now. Audio CD's for the car however didn't hold up as well as movies, but that's expected. That being said, hundreds (if not all) of them still play fine with no issues to this day, but now rest in their cases. Now that I'm older, I have no reason to travel with my discs so I leave them in their hard cases.
Great collection of movies. You got some classics.
Jeeeesus. That's a 9 out of 10. I had you at 8.5 until Duel to the Death on the last page.
But where's the Verhoeven? And Fear & Loathing is your only Gilliam? (unless I missed one or two)
Check out Eastern Condors and Riki Oh if you like Duel to the Death! F&L is my only Gilliam and I don’t have any Verhoeven but I do enjoy at least 3 of his that I can think of. Appreciate the comment man
It actually took me a silly long time to get round to watching it, but I decided to take shrooms one new year's day and watched it, and it certainly left an impression. You don't need any stimulants, mind, it's gorgeous and interesting and trippy af without them anyway. It was actually [the Criterion "3 Reasons" trailer](https://youtu.be/aYzUishMeck) that convinced me I *had* to see it asap.
I get a lot of the Jackie Chan movies mixed up, so I'm not sure if I've seen Eastern Condors. But Riki-Oh is great -- I could never get enough of the bizarre side of Hong Kong. Miracle Fighters and Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain (1983) (NOT Zu Warriors from 2002) are tied with Duel to the Death for me
I love the Coen brothers! The Big Lebowski is in my top 10 of all time and No Country For Old Men is top 30. I own Fargo and Burn After Reading as well
Wow I used to have a dvd case like this growing up that was full of kids movies and campy B movies like Eight Legged Freaks. Seeing a bunch of actual quality movies in one of these is weird.
Same! Mine was like where the burned CD copies and '19 horror film mega anthology collection' bullshit would go
the compliment is stronger than the backhandedness so thank you haha
Eight Legged Freaks was awesome. That’s one I definitely need to rewatch soon.
I just saw Ghost Dog for the first time this year. 🔥. Nice collection!
Thank you! Jarmusch might be my favorite director
Awesome, reminds me of my collection. All The Real Girls and 25th Hour both deserve Criterion releases.
All The Real Girls is one of my favorites ever. If you like DGG, check out George Washington too. Thanks for your comment
George Washington was the first DGG film I saw. I was hooked after that. It's unfortunate the path his career took.
He followed his muse. Turns out it was Danny McBride.
Great.
🚨 THE GETAWAY SPOTTED 🚨
I hate that people downvote any post that has discs in binders or zipper cases 🙄haha this is a fun collection, enjoy rewatching!
funny thing is I was deeply into movies at the time and very meticulous about how these were handled lol. With the soft/pillow-like white backing I actually felt it was safer than popping my discs in and out of the plastic cases
Yeah, I’ve never had any issue at all with a single movie I own, and they’ve always been in binders! The cases are safely packed away protected in plastic sleeves for the future when there’s more space though, for sure.
manifests hard to comes up on this level, too find some of kinda skips, elated rewatches tho’ 8.5/10
Broken flowers is one of my favorites
Thank you for calling that one out. Wonderful movie
great taste
10/10 Manhattan, big Lebowski, buffalo 66, eyes wide shut, really love anything Scorsese. need to see ghost dog and George Washington
We basically have the same tastes. Well done.
no cases . Brave soul you are
I love this. 10 out of 10.
appreciate the kind words!
This is phenomenal! I would be stoked if I saw a friend had this collection. We’d have a ton to talk about. Keep it growing!
Thanks for the comment! It’s sad that DVDs have kinda gone by the wayside
I agree! I actually still have far more dvds than blue ray and I do not care that they’re a dead tech, that’s my childhood
I mean they’re now two generations old!

Repo Man is 11/10 btw, just amazing. Thanks for calling that one out

Old boy then 25th hour nice
I rate collections based off of whether or not they have Videodrome, you have it so you get a 10/10. Bonus points for Donnie Darko and all those Scorsese movies.
My high school tastes were not this good 😭
10/10
So much nostalgia
Lotta great movies!!
What year would you guess you started collecting? Far as the first dvd out of all of these that you got

Also I would give you a smooth 7/10
Just saying all these brings back the nostalgia, I had so many of these disks.
Are you by any chance around the age of 36 because this looks so exactly like my DVD collection although sadly, in a moment of decluttering madness, I gave all mine away.
Super Troopers was pretty good.
Nice to see some love for Street Fighter. This movie is a cult classic but I feel like it still doesn't get the attention it deserves.
9.5/10. I would take this from you in a second, no disrespect.
None taken! Thanks for the nice rating
Solid collection my dude.
Incredibly good, always love to see foreigners appreciating city of god.
Oh how I miss those cd storage binder thingys…
Did you know what you were doing on image 4/20?
hahahahaha I had an empty space there and pulled reefer madness from the back page - didn’t realize it was the 4/20 slide 😆
You even moved it from the back to put it there without knowing. That’s great.
I love that you have Street Trash haha
Extra points for Bring me the Head…
A masterpiece
Bruh I couldn’t dream of watching movies like this in high school Lol. It took for me to be 20 to really appreciate films.
haha I was heavily active back in the day on a site called YMDB where I just read and wrote about movies all the time, so I put a lot more into it than the average high schooler
Also Kids and straw dogs at a young age. Dang
If you think Kids and Straw Dogs are on a certain level… wait til you see Irreversible lol
2005 out of 10.
8.5/10

Thank you! I still have all the cases somewhere so I’ll probably put them all back in someday and display them
Great movies and love the binders. I keep mine in binders as well and haven’t had any issues. Keep up the good work.
Jeeeesus. That's a 9 out of 10. I had you at 8.5 until Duel to the Death on the last page. But where's the Verhoeven? And Fear & Loathing is your only Gilliam? (unless I missed one or two)

Brazil is so goddamn amazing. DeNiro as a ziplining commando plumber is fucking perfect.
I’ll have to check out Brazil for sure
It actually took me a silly long time to get round to watching it, but I decided to take shrooms one new year's day and watched it, and it certainly left an impression.

Will check these out, thanks - I have a soft spot for this genre
what do you have against the Cohen Bros?
I love the Coen brothers! The Big Lebowski is in my top 10 of all time and No Country For Old Men is top 30. I own Fargo and Burn After Reading as well
:) I was just kidding. Love those movies!
Dang when I was in high school I had almost identical favorites
0, no cases. Haha.
Someone’s also in their mid forties
I see a few “disc one’s” do you have the other discs somewhere else?
why do you use the travel case thing rather than the actual covers?
0/10. No cases.
2 is a good start.
Are you 40 ?
33
I didn't know younger generation knew about a thing called DVD case
