What genre do you most want to beef up in your collection?

[Knaldskalle]

I only just started getting into Blu-rays and I'm on a limited budget - so I'm focusing on the genres I feel need my meager financial support the most. This means silent movies and Italian 70s horror/giallo, sprinkled with some exploitation, the odd Criterion title and Peter Greenaway.

+1

[murphywmm]

Film noir and foreign language films.

[swaseem]

More foreign cinema and some more criterions.

[Tony208]

criterion is a genre now? lol

[Michael24]

I wouldn't mind having some comedies. I actually don't even have any, aside from a couple that are mixed with other genres. Most of my Blus are action/adventure, science fiction and horror.

I don't have any animated films, either. Could use some of those.

[deltatauhobbit]

Probably anime, I don't have a single title yet I used to enjoy them quite a bit. I'll probably start with upgrading the Vampire Hunter D titles since they're a couple of my favorite ones, fortunately they're both coming out later this year.

The artsy-fartsies like to think so. I can't tell you how many I have talked to that have a lot of Criterion titles, but have only watched a portion of them.

[AlexIlDottore]

Gialli and Pinky Violence.

[Doctor.Who]

Comedy, Animated,

[Jobla]

Italian Sword-and-Sandal/Peplum/"Hercules" films, in their original aspect ratios.

Also, 1960's low budget B&W forgotten genre films, such as:

WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR
ANGELS FLIGHT (aka SHOCK HILL)
THE GLASS CAGE
LIGHT FANTASTIC
THE DESERT RAVEN
RUN ACROSS THE RIVER
PRIVATE PROPERTY (1960)
RAT FINK
THE STREET IS MY BEAT
NOT MY DAUGHTER/ LIKE IT IS (1970)
and others of that ilk

[Hatter]

Need more Sci-Fi. It being the leading category in my collection is still insufficient.

[Professor Echo]

Hate to be THAT GUY, but my collection is already so well rounded, I am not wanting for any particular genres. I'll gladly add to any and all of them, but having no limitations when it comes to appreciating film and film history means a very comprehensive library.

[Mughi]

Early '90s Hong Kong movies...all the wuxia fantasies, comedies and dramas that brought said cinema to international attention. BD releases even in HK itself have been slow to appear, and here in the US they've been pretty awful in quality. No uncut Fong Sai-Yuk or Fist of Legend yet? No Green Snake, Swordsman 2, Boys Are Easy, or '92 Legendary la Rose Noir at all? It's like an entire era vanished into nothing..

[Zoodled]

Would like to add more sports movies, specifically hockey films...such an overly Canadian response. That, or finish off breaking bad so I can start re-watching the series

I think my collection is also lacking comedy, though I have tried to get the most I know that are available.

Definitely comedy. The genre doesn't get as many prestige releasas. Probably why I don't invest in at as much.

Comedy is tricky. I've found that a lot of comedies I enjoyed growing up in the 90s haven't aged well and aren't as funny to me as they used to be. And I'm generalizing, but many of the popular comedies today don't really contain the cinematic appeal that makes home media worthwhile.

My movie collecting habits have recently changed, and I don't necessarily purchase a BD simply because I like the film. I consider whether or not it's realistic that I'll pop that disc in my player several times. As far as newer comedy stuff goes, I'm usually content with watching via On Demand or streaming service.

[Number 6]

More Westerns.
