I don't buy movies very much either.

I only buy movies that I know that I will re-watch over and over again. Much of the movies I have bought lately have been 80's movies that I grew up watching and wanted to watch again because I had not seen the movie in a long time. All these movies have been under $15, instead of just renting them, I would rather just pay the extra few dollars to own them. The last movie I paid full price for over $20 was Dawn of the Dead in 2004. I saw this movie in the theaters and promised myself I would buy it the first day it came out on DVD.

I only buy movies if I find them cheap or if I really like the movie.

I buy VHS tapes from either Salvation army or Ebay/Amazon...

If I had a VIDEODISC player,I would buy those also!!

I have 1 CED (Poltergiest (1982)) but sadly I do not have a player....

At this point I already own all the films I want on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray.
There are a few TV shows I’d still like to buy that have been released and some that I’d definitely buy if they are ever released.

I already have the movies that I like and know will watch often but when it comes to newer movies absolutely not unless it's an umpteenth anniversary collector edition but the last Bluray I bought was The Flash movie and that was in 2023.
