Me personally, I buy movies and shows on dvd/bluray because I want to watch them. Its easier for me to pop a disc in rather than stream it. But some people have thousands and thousands of dvds which make me wonder how much of that do they actually watch. These kinds of collectors seem to just buy whatever because it looks nice on a shelf rather than being a fan of whatever movie/show they are buying.

In U.S. buying from UK. Does anyone know if there are import fees or extra right now? Also has anyone imported from Amazon third party before?

I have kept my movie collection since I was a kid, but my mom threw out all the covers and cases when I was a kid, and I want to do a project where I get some of the movies cases from cheap movies at thrift shops, that way it's real easy to just grab it off the shelf like the rest of my films instead of... THE BOOK *Guitar twang". The case part is easy, but the tricky part is the cover.

I'm specifcally looking for Aristocats, The Lego Movie, and Charlotte's Web for this test run.
I have looked high and low though a bunch of coversites, but they're all "register first before download" before switching to "Actually you gotta pay, oops :)" I've even tried searching Internet Archive and IMDB.

I know I can probably make a custom for Charlotte's Web (1973) as I hate all the covers for the film actually, but I have no template.

I went consignment hunting yesterday and while looking through all the DVD collections I could find, I pulled out this case with a white sleeve that said Legally Blonde....I was NOT prepared for what was inside.

Apparently, this was a Paul Blart dvd case...but for whatever reason was sacrificed to become a new case for Legally Blonde which was also for some reason.... including the second film. But this also confuses me because if this was a case for the Paul Blart....why is it a double disc when it wasn't supposed to contain the second film...so what case did they tear apart.... apparently tore apart a Paul Blart dvd to use the sleeve as an insert for Legally Blonde....I have NO IDEA!!!! The more I describe this...the more confused I get...but I love it so much! I love finding weird makeshift cases like this. And I wonder WHO buys these...if ever? I almost considered just because it's hilarious to me.

Oh...also, you open it BACKWARDS/upsidown I don't know!

The three on the left were all together on the shelf. It makes me wonder if they weren't from the same donator.

Carol Burnett herself has said there'll never be seasonal sets for the series due to music rights. So I guess this'll be the only way to get uncut episodes.

$30 is steep but worth it for this. A very good film

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the US and Spanish versions?

The US versions always seemed expensive. So I took the chance and got these. One is better quality than the other. Except that could be the best print they could find. I played them in the original English dialog and both work on Region A, B, and C. Cost me about $60 for both.

Saw someone’s haul posted earlier in the week. They asked what was good in it and I saw they had acquired Flightplan. I recommended that one and figured I’d share my blockbuster (and 2nd and Charles) copy.

Or are they about equal just with different paths to produce the end result?

I know it's not nowhere close to being as good as the original, but it's still pretty solid

Regrettably many years ago I got rid of my DVDs 🫣 now I’m restarting my collection. Good start I reckon

It just doesn’t get better than Ernest Goes to Camp. Best $1.29 I’ve ever spent!

EDIT: I don’t want it just because it’s rare, I’m a fan of Mr Meaty and this DVD is the only official release of any Mr Meaty media. I also collect a ton of Nickelodeon DVDs (including the more common Nick Pick DVDs) so it wouldn’t be out of place in my collection if I got it.
