as a dvd collector + bookstore regular, i can't stress enough the magic of owning physical media - buy a book from your local bookstore so you can get it signed by the author later! buy a DVD to see special features! streaming services aren't giving you the gift of deleted scenes!! #booksky #filmsky
There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc
