Thinning Your Blu-ray Collection: List Movie(s) You Remove from Your Collection

[Yakuza Demon Sith Lord]

Don't know if there's a thread similar or had been posted already. Sorry if the title don't make sense. What I meant is do anyone clean their collection as in removing some blu rays from their collection? I see peoples with over 1,500 and up blu rays. I could see myself owning around 1,000 blu rays but, more than that. Don't think there's 1,500 movies that I could own.

Since I started buying blu rays in January. I have not clean my collection up till today. From January till today I owned 549 (according to my forum collection) blu rays and by removing some blu rays today I now own 540.

Movies I remove from collection ]
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
Adventureland
Babel
Black Swan

I'm often thinning out my Blu-rays.

If I see one which I liked but didn't love, I will let the next person enjoy it.

I keep the UV copy in case I want to see it again later.

[tama]

About once every six months I might let go about 5-6 titles that may have been decent but not great. Not too many though.

[jdw89]

I downsized from over 1,100 to now about 500.

[MifuneFan]

I thought this was about actually cleaning your collection, silly me.

[Jutty]

I just cant seem to part with any,if i get a better transfer of one ill give the older one away.

On another note, actually cleaning them is such a chore..

I don't think no one will enjoy 30 Days of Night 2 or Without a Paddle 2 haha
I've never bother with the UV or the codes. They just sit there and expire.

Wow that's a lot.
Were they good titles?

I had almost 1800 6 months ago and now I am down to a little less than 1500. I have already put aside a couple hundred more that I will get rid of in the coming months. I have essentially been getting rid of titles that I have not watched in years with little desire to watch them again any time soon.

I avoid all this by rarely doing blind buys and trying to only add titles to my collection that I know I will enjoy watching more than once.

Every few months I go through & get rid of titles I know ill never watch again. I would've had about 800 or so BDs if I hadn't started doing that earlier in the year. Now I try to stick just to genres I love like Asian & Horror films with the occasional big name release if it's a series I already like (Jurassic Park, MI for ex). I still have plenty more I'll probably get rid of before years end.

Same here. I only use Woolite and the gentle cycle for mine. Rare or limited edition get the royal hand wash treatment.

Only had a Blu collection for three years, so don't have that many yet. I'm only going to buy Blu's I really want & that's it.

Now, I am unloading quite a few crummy DVD's...but that's another thread...

[dallywhitty]

I've parted with some. Not many.

Drive & Platoon - I recently moved in with my girlfriend and she's got the Steelbooks so there was no need for my amaray copies. Traded them in a few days ago.
The Exorcist - traded it not long after buying the complete anthology.
Natural Born Killers - traded the theatrical cut when Warners UK announced they were finally releasing the Director's Cut.
The NeverEnding Story - traded it with the intention of replacing it with the 30th Anniversary Edition (which my girlfriend's bought me for Christmas, yay yay yay yay yay yay).
Night Train Murders - traded the Blue Underground disc when 88 Films announced they were releasing it as part of their Italian Collection series.
Scanners 3 - it was shit.
Videodrome - traded it when Arrow announced they were releasing it uncut.

I clean my blu rays with a brillo pad and fairy liquid

[thelwig14]

Went from 800 to around 27.

I was buying tv series I was never going to watch again, awful movies to complete franchises, etc.

My criteria now is what I feel are perfect to near perfect movies and they could be on repeat for 24 hours straight and I'd still love them.

[LMN8R]

I built my storage thinking 500 would be plenty. I cull from my cabinets and store less watched titles to a guest bedroom with a HD TV and an old blu-ray player on a constant basis. I only sell titles that are the occasional blind buy that I don't care for at all. I thought collections over 1000 were insane. Now I realize that within a couple of years I'll probably meet the insanity criteria.

[KillaCam]

My collection is growing and there are a few films that I will never watch again. I've been thinking about tossing them on eBay but haven't gotten rid of any yet. Then there are also a few films that I have doubles of from upgrading to better releases that I also need to get rid of.

[Cevolution]

When you all cut down, how many did you illegally rip to hard drives before selling the discs?

Some would probably say so, but I blind bought so many films it was ridiculous, still so many still in shrink wrap and I knew I'd never get around to watching them. I also sold off a lot of Criterion's that I didn't really care for and made a decent amount on those.
