    I watch around 200 movies a year, I don’t think I could buy that many DVDs for the same money I pay for streaming. I also pirate but mostly movies that are not on my streaming services.

      ironic you choose almost the exact number you could buy with the lowest tier of netflix

      and that’s before multi disc sets and resale value.

      and libraries not only lend movies but more than likely also have a streaming service too.

      paying the mega corps for their slop is a choice.

          I highly doubt you could find 200 good movies on any streaming services at this point.

          and it all depends what you think good means doesn’t it, I enjoy objectively bad films like Laser Mission or The secret agent club

          but of the roughly 800,000 movies ever released about 300,000 are on DVD, I’m sure you could find a couple of good titles in all that.
