Heres my movie collection, blurays, dvds, feel free to share your own collections

Grinchy

Cheers @L_Volunteer, yeah it wasn't a total loss, i managed to do a few more trades recently, heres whats coming, first up Dr strange, really enjoyed the movie at the cinema, this steelbook has nice artwork on it


then childs play, daft eighties Horror flick, i enjoyed the movies and thought the chucky effects really looked good for the time



then Poltergeist, loved this movie when i first saw it, that clown scene still creeps me out, great story and fx




finally one i bought, Haven't seen it yet but it was only 2 pounds delivered, enders game, Harrison ford is in it, and he doesn't just do anything, heres hoping its worth a watch

@Grinchy, it's such a shame that EVERYTHING has gone online now. The Artwork alone in your collection is amazing, but in entirety, it's phenomenal, and must have cost a pretty penny. Kudos to you!

Grinchy

Cheers @Siwheels73, yeah everything seems geared towards streaming now, i'll use those services but will keep adding to the collection, its an interesting hobby, i did another couple of trades for some more steelbooks, first up hellraiser trilogy, love the artwork of pinhead on the cover


next up independance day, hard to believe its twenty years old, i remember vividly going to the cinema to see it

Grinchy

Going through my old pics here's a couple i missed, this movie the thing got me interested in special effects, i taught myself how to make creatures and other props by figuring out how they did it, this set has both the eighties and the recent sequel, and a booklet going over the movies, a poster and postcards




back to the future japanese cover 4k set

Grinchy

up early today, couldn't sleep again, found the jurassic park trilogy on ebay, so ordered it, another nice steelbook for the collection




comes with art cards, nice extras

L_Volunteer

They look wonderful @Grinchy. Thanks for sharing them with us. Which are you looking forward to watching the most first? I am intrigued! 

Grinchy

Hey @L_Volunteer, thanks, i quite like the original movie, that's my favourite, i enjoy the other two, but the first is the best, the cg effects are looking a bit dated now, but it was the first time we had seen realistic dinosaurs on film

L_Volunteer

Hey @Grinchy. Oh, the first one sounds the most interesting! Especially as, as you said, it was the first time you had seen realistic dinosaurs on film 

Grinchy

So i did another trade with a collector friend, got a full set of friday the 13th movies coming, should keep me busy for a while, comes with a booklet about the films, the films themselves and a couple of pairs of old school 3d glasses for pt3 which is done in 3d, haven't seen most of the films in years, daft horror films featuring the villain silent killer Jason Voorhees who they kill off in each movie and he keeps coming back, stronger and more wicked, the 9 films come in a nice tin set embossed with Jason and the logo to, cheers

Tori_Scope

It's amazing that you taught yourself special effects @grinchy! 

It looks like you've got some cool new additions to the collection, too  

I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well. Did you manage to get some sleep last night?

Grinchy

Hey @Tori_Scope, yeah i had many attempts at making stuff before i got marginally good at it, now i just potter around with it, gives me something to do, glad your liking the collection, my sleep is still all over the place, trying to stay awake today so i can sleep through tonight, somedays i don't get up till 2 pm after not sleeping much the night before, wish i could get a hold on it

Tori_Scope

Do you know what might be stopping you from sleeping @Grinchy? 

And I'd say you're more than marginally good at making stuff!

Grinchy

aww thanks for that @Tori_Scope,it took a long time before i considered myself able to create, i do enjoy it still, i suffer with nightmares, mostly about the sexual abuse i went through as a child, it sticks with me, and keeps me awake

Tori_Scope

That's understandable @grinchy. I know that creating things, your collections, and your Star Wars room, are all positive outlets for you  

Grinchy

thanks @Tori_Scope, yeah its good that i have these things in my life and family of course, thanks again x

L_Volunteer

I agree with you @Grinchy. It is really positive 

Grinchy

So i was browsing ebay and swooped in at the last second and took this fantastic beasts bluray steelbook, love the harry potter universe, and these new movies are entertaining, anyone else a fan of the universe?

As well as a collection of star wars memorabilia, i also like to collect films on DVD and Bluray, i have a large collection, the main cabinet is in the living room and thats the bluray collection, on the landing i have shelving for my DVDs, i'm not sure how many i own but its a lot, across various genres, i also stream movies on amazon and netflix, but prefer a physical copy
