Curious if anyone else collects movies virtually on Apple? If so, how many do you have? I’m currently at 1477 movies.🍿 🎥
178
I’ve recently started to build a collection again, I used to have a large physical collection in the early 2000s but then cleared it all out in my minimalist phase.
I pretty much only buy 4K movies I like that are on offer on Apple TV app and relevant bundles, I’ve accrued about 100 movies in 6 months.
About 250. I’ve purchased all of them via the appletv app. I tend to wait for sales and scoop them up when they are around $5.
344 non-MA
Yeah I’ve started buying my movies on iTunes, I’ve just bought a Hisense L9H projector with a 100” screen. I’m pretty addicted to buying movies at the moment…
I used to have 500 blu rays but decided to sell them. I thought about upgrading to 4K blu ray but I’m not paying £20 for a single film. Once I saw Scarface for £2.99 on Apple I bought it. All this ‘you don’t own it’ talk doesn’t bother me. It’s £2.99. I’ll cope if it ever disappears. I now have about 50 films and growing in my digital collection and my house is much tidier.
Same here, I have a UK and US account as so easy to switch between the two on Apple TV. Gladiator in 4K US store, HD UK only and Titanic is HD only for £13.99 but 4K for $7.99.
I do. Not as many as you, though!
Just starting out. 52 movies.
Just my preference, but I will only buy movies physically. I realize that physical media is dying out, but I hear too many stories of people losing digitally bought movies, or having the versions altered.
That said, however, I hope you enjoy your collection! : Everyone has their own preferences.
This is The Way although me saying the same is getting people’s adenchrome flowing.
Starting collecting 3 months ago and have about 530
3 months, and 530. now, i feel good about myself, i thought spending too much on movies. Just curious what sources you use for finding decent price for buying movies?
Cheap Charts. I usually hold out for 4.99 or 7.99 or good bundles if there’s a super sale.
There’s maybe only about 3 movies I paid full price for, mainly because the girlfriend wanted movie night. I probably could have held out longer and paid half price. Examples are Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny for $20 and The Creator for $20.
Yes, but not through Apple. I still pay for the best cable package available. I pay for pretty much every streaming service out there, and pay for HD/4K. But everything I watch (outside of sports, which I watch through my Apple TV through the Channels app and a couple of HD Homeruns I have) is through Plex using files I’ve “acquired”. Nothing I’ve watched in the past decade has been something that hasn’t been available through one of those services. But it allows me to have one place for all of my media, organized how I want it, and keeps track of things much better.
Physical collector and digital (iTunes UK) collector too. Mainly horror/sci-fi and always on the lookout for good deals on 4k and HD releases.
I bought a couple of albums on Apple Music. They’re no longer available to me. If it’s not on your shelf, all you’re buying is access to their file and you own NOTHING. Good day, sir!
What does Apple Music have to do with anything? And if you are so concerned with your access just download the music files?
This shit gets boring, this wasn’t what was asked. But the anti-digital media crowd always have to pop their head out and echo the same thing over and over and over. Even when nobody asked.
I have over 400 in my Apple TV library. Quality is great and many I bought as HD have been automatically upgraded to 4K. My only wish would be a better way to organise on the Apple TV itself. On the Mac app it’s possible to create playlists e.g. by director or series. Sadly they don’t sync to the Apple TV box. Scrolling through 400 movies is a chore.
I hope with the new iTunes/Apple TV refresh we get these options. I would KILL to be able to label movies with genres, the current ones are AWFUL. Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t a horror movie lol
Over 500 movies (majority of them HDR and/or DolbyVision) and 30 different tv show collections. All on my Win11 media server. But shared and available via the Infuse tvOS app for my ATV4K.
