The Monday Question: Online!

The Monday Question

After asking you about organising your movie collection last week I started wondering if people still invest in their collection. With the current availability of various online ways of watching movies (Netflix, iTunes) I am wondering if you still go out to buy a movie or if the online offerings (if you internet connection allows it) are great alternatives?

I have to admit that I am not big anymore on collecting movies as I rarely rewatch things and if I want to it is only some clicks away. Online all the way for me then.

  1. I don’t buy like I once did, but I will pick up a few things on occasion. I rarely buy anything brand new, though. I’ve got a couple used book stores and pawn shops in my area that sell DVDs and Blu-Rays pretty cheap. I mostly add older movies that are hard to find or complete my set of one franchise or another.

    • Yeah, the prices of new movies almost seem outrageous when you compare them to the price of Netflix for example. If I see something cheap which Id love to see I usually pick it up, but it happens less often.

  2. Good question.

    I buy much less movies then I used to, but I still do. There are certain movies I just prefer owning and being able to watch whenever. Also, I can be swayed to by a movie if it has a really good making-of bonus feature–“The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy being the stand-out–and/or an interesting commentary track.

  3. I actually did stop collecting films a couple of years ago. When you can pick any movie to watch anywhere it just doesn’t make sense. I went on holiday to France and could still use Netflix.
