I pay for all the streaming services but purchase Blu-rays when it’s something I really love. (True detective season 1, Chernobyl). I especially like exploring certain eras of film - I just watched “Get Carter”, “Point Blank” (w/Lee Marvin), and “The Outfit” (all of these are late 60’s/early 70’s genre movies). I bought the last two on blu-ray. These kind of movies don’t usually stick around on streaming. “The Outfit” was absolutely terrific and I’m so glad I own it now.
We have a movie room with a 140 inch projected screen that really brings these films to life. And when I travel for work (I’m a photographer/producer) I have an RV with a wonderful blu-ray setup for when I’m off grid (which is frequent).
In my work I’m producing in 4K or 5k and edit in these resolutions. But for my home, I’ve never expanded beyond standard 1080p which looks terrific at 140 inches.
I do love physical media and have vinyl, cassette, reel to reel, minidisc players. The audio quality is not as good as CD (which I also collect) or streaming - but I find it remarkable and stimulating when interacting with these archaic machines.
