2024: My year in physical media review (not pictured, the HMV Exclusive Steelbook of SIGNS from the UK, which has yet to arrive

). What did yours look like?

Warm Gun · 12-31-2024, 10:55 PM

It looked Asian.

So...many...photos...page...struggling...to...load ...gah

This is a fun idea. I’ll take some pictures later. I’ve never actually taken stock of how many movies I buy in a year and I suspect it will be horrifying.

mdhaus · 12-31-2024, 11:34 PM

Good Lord, Filmmaker. How long did it take you to sort all of that out and take those photos? LOL

On-topic...I had a great year. I bought way too much stuff and my back-log is way too deep.

I’m a well-caffeinated fellow.

I started in Jan on the site and looked at the release calendar for the year. I thought about doing a list but it is just too much. No wonder I am always broke.

Sky_Captain · 01-01-2025, 01:20 AM

I started, but this was December alone...

I think you like to buy Apocalypse Now every year

Looking through your bag and I'm feeling the need to get a copy of Longlegs now (saw it and loved the vibe).

What do you think, was this the the best year for 4k so far? I just organizized yesterday so excuse my not pulling them out again for pics.

all 2024 pickups:

This is a good idea. But I think my computer broke loading all these images.

Lol.

Unquestionably, yes. Particularly where tatted-up editions are concerned.

dallywhitty · 01-01-2025, 12:57 PM

All the UHDs I purchased this year (plus a few from the tail-end of 2023). Still waiting on The Faculty and my Severin Black Friday haul to arrive.

Excluded Blu-rays because there'd be too much otherwise, lol!

You bought CALIGULA? I hadn’t heard.

I did, but I was not prepared for all that gratuitous sex and violence. Big yikes!!!! Took both sets and buried them in the garden.

I just got back into collecting physical movies this year, all the movies in my collection i bought since october 1st 2024, i'm still working my way through watching them all though.

bradnoyes · 01-01-2025, 04:14 PM

I bought a lot. I sold a lot. That pretty much sums it up.

This is the first year that I decided to start taking pictures of my kids instead of my movie collection so unfortunately I don't have pics to share.

brainofj72 · 01-01-2025, 05:12 PM

This took an absolutely stupid amount of time and work and I’m an idiot for doing it. But here they are. Inevitably incomplete since I already sold some stuff I bought.

As I expected, seeing them all together is, indeed, horrifying.

This message is hidden because Filmmaker is on your ignore list.

I bought about as many PS5 games as 4K Films/Movies. I have a couple stacks in front of me...now if I add in standard Blu-Rays too maybe then even. I havent even played a game on my PS5 this year! Funny I'll buy a PS5 Pro soon and probably still not play games just have it because I can flex harder than most. And that's a fizzact dogg!

Bolo Seagull · 01-02-2025, 01:57 PM

4K Stuff
This was definitely a huge 4K year for me.

Regular Blu-rays
Mostly anime and some stuff that wasn't released on on 4K and likely won't be (and a nice pair of socks).
