so interested in my top 10 list that no one put any 4k pickups in it? I am an avid collector still of physical media, mainly 4k and in that category apart from MCU movies I go for steelbooks or special editions, but I still pickup dvd and. blurays of classic tv shows mainly and have 100's all told , just wondering if I am the only one now???
RE: So is it just me??

Still a collector, but still stuck on DVD and BD. I don’t think I could go yet another double dip frenzy after going from VHS to DVD to BD.

Still collect, just only Blu-rays (odd TV series on DVD). I watch movies on a projector and mine isn't 4K and tbh I'm not sure I would notice hugely the difference in quality. A lot of movies you can't even tell from the screen captures which is which depending on the source material.
It does annoy me that the industry's response to streaming wasn't to make it more worthwhile to own the physical versions. Surely they get more money for selling those than the streamers give them?

If I was to do a top ten list I would have to have started it last January and keep a record. So much of what I've watched has not been current but catching up on films and even series that I haven't completed or even started this year.
Physical media I haven't bought in ages. I have a main TV that is knackered (two blank vertical pixel lines on the screen) but I rarely watch it anyway as my tastes don't include celebrity Kangaroo dick eating whilst pirouetting on ice which my family seem to love.
Most of my viewing is done on my PC, for which I would like a better screen but that's a different thread.
