On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

We all have our favourite films but which one have you owned the most over the years?

I'm not such a big fan now but growing up it was the original Star Wars trilogy.

I had (deep breath):

The first wide-screen VHS release.

The Imperial Star Destroyer Executor VHS metal box set. (The trilogy in wide-screen with lots of extras on more tapes).

The official Maylaisan VideoCD trilogy set.

The UK laserdisc of the special edition trilogy.

The first release on DVD and the Blu-ray Saga set.

I also used to have various bootleg sets of the original trilogy sourced from LaserDiscs and a German copy of the special editions in HD before Blu-rays were released.

Phew!

That's the most varied. All my other films have followed the standard route of VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K.

Anyone else?

EDIT: Forgot about my Laserdisc set!

I saw an Instagram reel of someone who just keeps on buying copies of Titanic on VHS! No idea how many they have.

I was stoned and read UMD and then wrote UHD lol

[–] evldead123 1 points 1 year ago

lol was it released on UMD? I think the only UMD discs I had were Akira and a random season of Aqua Teen

UHD is a good one. I had Waiting and some good movie I cannot remember.

I buy every unique printing of the real Spy Kids films (1-3) that I run into at thrift stores for my collection. I'd have to find them in my house though.

I have way more copies of Tron than I should. Even have it on UMD.
