What decade are most of your Blu-ray movies from?

[RickyBetter]

43.6% from 2010s. I'm not surprised but most everyone else is considering I'm in my mid-fifties.

[filmo70]

1970's: 43.5%
1980's: 29.8%
1960's: 15.3%
1990's: 7.1%

82.8% come from the years 1968 to 1989

All other decades are negligible

.

[Gerby]

70's 21.9%
80's 20.1%
60's 14.4%
50's 11.4%

No surprises for me with my stats.

[Spooked]

30.2% from the 1980's
20.9% from the 1990's
11.5% from the 2000's

I was born in '81, so that sounds about right. As I get older, I find that my movie purchasing seems to be driven by nostalgia more than anything else.

[Werdsniper2]

I don't have time to look through my entire collection, but I would estimate as follows:

70's: 5%
80's: 25% (Building this up most currently)
90's: 15%
00's: 35%
10's: 20%

[Dailyan]

1920s: 0.2
1930s: 2.6
1940s: 5.8
1950s: 8.6
1960s: 13.4
1970s: 15.5
1980s: 15.1
1990s: 15.5
2000s: 16.6
2010s: 6.7

I’d say 00s is fairly appropriate since I grew up primarily in the 00s.

Interesting 1980s through 2010s are fairly even

For my collection it always seems that 70s, 80s, and 90s are always dueling for second because they're so close to being even.

I blame the influx of so many great Indie horror movies for my high percentage of modern films (just a guess).

[Jobla]

my top three decades, in descending order:

60's
50's

If you go to your Blu-ray collection and click on "Statistics," you can see breakdowns based on things like ratings, production year, genre, etc.

21.7% 90's
21.0% 80's
18.7% 2000's
16.7% 2010's
9.3% 70's

I'm surprised that the percentage is so high for the 2000's and 2010's. I think some of the reason is that that the movies are often cheap. especially stuff from the late mid to late 2000's. Especially stuff 2007-2009.

But a lot of my reasoning for collecting is the same as yours.

[neat trick with the image post tho]

[StingingVelvet]

I have a very healthy split of 20% per decade for the 80's, 90's, 00's and 10's. The 70's come in with around 10%. I'm somewhat surprised the 70's aren't higher since I love that decade, but I guess my tendency toward "blockbusters" weighs the others higher.

My pre-70's numbers will likely go up eventually. I've focused mostly on sci-fi/fantasy and action so far, as they're the most re-watchable for me, but I do love spy stuff a lot and there's a lot of spy movies from the 30's through 60's that I want to get and haven't yet. I just bought The Lady Vanishes this week for example.
