Holiday season 2024 solidified it: we really need to stop going along with the lie that streaming is better than physical media.

    Where is a good place to buy physical media? I recently got a Blu Ray player and have been picking up some movies and a couple of shows. If I’m really honest about it the selection seems kind of limited. I’ve been browsing Gruv anr Amazon.

    Might just be me not remembering how to shop for movies though. If so any pointers?

      Goodwill often has a selection as do garrage sales.

      I check new releases here:

      https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/releasedates.php

      Then, once I know what I want, I run it down either through Amazon or directly from the publisher.

      Good indie physical publishers:

      Arrow:

      https://www.arrowvideo.com/

      (Their Shaw Brothers sets are amazing!)

      Criterion:

      https://www.criterion.com/

      Shout Factory:

      https://shoutfactory.com

      Kino Lorber:

      https://kinolorber.com

      Vinegar Syndrome:

      BFI:

      Second-hand stores, bookstores, and sometimes even libraries
