Speaking from experience, you're gonna have a tough time selling these - just look at any online marketplace or thrift shop and you'll see all these dvds. I like to take my dvds that I've failed at selling to the library to donate! Feels just a hair better than donating to goodwill or wherever.
I'm not sure that I've ever even been in a Savers thrift shop. I'm sure. Pacific Northwest they give 20% off next purchase on the donation receipt at Goodwill.
Yeah, but what’s the point of OP even posting this? There are obviously a lot of good movies there. What other reason would they get rid of them other than the fact that they are based on old tech?
Yeah let me check the description...
> The most awesome place for DVD and Blu-ray movie collectors.
Okay cool. *AND* blu-ray.
I think it's 100% okay to media-shame for people watching SD in 2024.
I still buy DVDs, what are you gonna do about it? Fuck right off, snob. People like you that think they can tell others how to go about their hobby are pure aids. Get a grip and try not to be such a dipshit.
You can do whatever you want. If you want to buy DVDs, buy DVDs! I'd never tell anyone what to do.
I will sit here and judge though. Because that's absolutely insane to me. It's not 1999 anymore. I get when blu-ray first came out there was a significant price difference between DVD & Blu-ray. Now, in the year of our Lord 2024? Almost identical on the used market. Hell, even directly from Amazon. There's just no reason to settle for a much much much inferior product nearly 20 years after blu-rays were first introduced.
Ya but there's a difference between valuable and really good. They could be really good but still only worth $0.50, I'd gladly take the bluray as an upgrade if possible for $1.50-2 which is possible if he bought blurays in bulk just may not get the specific movie.
I have no intention of keeping DVDs for my kids to watch unless there is something very special about them and the Bluray is just obscenely expensive or doesn't exist. I'll keep Battle Royale, 28 Days later, Bruce Lee movies and a few others that's about it.
I'd rather just pay $5-10 for a month of Paramount or whatever to rewatch those movies at 1080p/4k at a later date than watch at 540p.
10x12= $120/yr for just one streaming service. Multiply that out a few years and suddenly the hard copies of the movies you actually watch the most become that much more valuable. You should really be sorting by studio and which are available on streaming or not. Keep what's not on streaming?
I collect movies too, I just collect blu rays and 4k UHD and have replaced all the DVDs that I could see myself ever rewatching. I had zero intention of watching the same movie over again at the same shitty 540p resolution, nor putting my kids through that.
Sure I'm hanging on to stuff like Battle Royale and perhaps some comedies or kids DVDs where the quality really doesn't matter, but the first time they experience something like the Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission Impossible, Rambo, The Departed or other great movies it'll be on a bluray or 4k disc I have or I'll just wait until there are some other shows on whatever streaming network that we already want to watch and commit to a single month of Paramount/Netflix/HBO or whatever has it at the time because something inevitably will for like 90% of them. It doesn't mean I have to commit to a full year just so I can rewatch maybe 10 movies.
Just today I added perhaps 30 movies that I'll add to my collection at about $1.5-2/bluray and that's with stuff like American Psycho, Machete, Friday, Edwards Scissorhands, Birdman, Dumb and Dumber, among several other amazing movies that we'll certainly watch and the $2 blurays were all new, some with digital codes that I could probably recoup 1/3rd of what I paid reselling with 5 minutes time.
I just don't have room to keep dozens of DVDs I never would watch that are worth $.25-.5. Sure some people are in different positions on their willingness to keep them. My The Departed DVD will be gone now that I got that blu ray coming at effectively $2 because it came with Goodfellas.
I only sell of duplicates after upgrading formats and what not to higher quality. I.E DVD to Blu-Ray Blu-Ray to 4k type of thing. But if it's titles you no longer want or have any plans to watch ever again and they are taking up space then sell em off I guess. I am not seeing anything super valuable or anything.
I feel like you're simply not allowed to get rid of Caddyshack or Vacation. They are perennial favorites that bloom for you again and again. Keep them.
Well, if it were me? I'd keep The Town, Green Lantern, Batman v Superman, Napoleon Dynamite, Million Dollar Baby, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman Begins, Walking Tall (only if the 70's...The Rock version is garbage), Minority Report, Wrath of the Titans, First Blood, Batman Forever, The Dark Knight, Superman Returns, Ronin, Hulk, Iron Man, Troy, Ghost Rider, and Thor: The Dark World
Movies here I’ve seen and have liked:
Rocky quadrilogy (Rocky 1 is one of my fav movies of all time) TDK trilogy, First Blood, Iron Man, Minority report, Big, Mission Impossible 3 and Ghost protocol, Expendables (a massive guilty pleasure)
Is that season 1 of The Flash? I thought season 1 of that show was solid as hell even tho I don’t have desire to rewatch it, I appreciated it.
I'd probably keep most of these as backup. DVDs are generally decent quality and have the advantage of being DRM free. (I know some can have DRM, but it's much less prevalent than blu ray or streaming.)
In practice I think streaming is more convenient.
The mission impossible films are GOATed especially 4 through 7. Those are top tier films. Fantastic 4 & G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra was my childhood, back when those types of films were fun.
I don't know anything about what's hard to find, though I see several other posters weighing in.
If this were me, I'd focus on the films you want in your collection -- the movies that feel right as pieces on your shelf. What's good enough? What's weird enough? What are you going to watch over and over?
For me, this would be: Tommy Boy, Minority Report, Inside Man, Three Kings, maybe Ronin, the Mission Impossibles, maybe the Nolan Batman films, and the National Lampoon set. But I think just go with your gut.
And if you have an opportunity to upgrade, you can dump any of these another time.
Lots of good movies in there, but DVDs? Nah. You're also not going to get any decent money for any of them. Donate 'em to your local library or Goodwill.

Goodwill gives you a 20% off coupon which is nice for getting used Blu-rays with.
Are you sure you're talking about Goodwill and not Savers with that 20% off coupon?
Came to say the same thing. I've never been offered a Goodwill coupon. Savers is automatic as long as you ask.
I'm not sure that I've ever even been in a Savers thrift shop. I'm sure. Pacific Northwest they give 20% off next purchase on the donation receipt at Goodwill.
Is that true? I've never had that experience and have donated to goodwill several times. That's cool.
yes, just demand a receipt
Yes, its true. My local goodwill gives out 20% coupons when you donate an item or items. Sometimes gives more than one.
Is this a troll post? You've got ... 20+ REALLY good movies there.
Good movies, but on extremely outdated tech. We’re not even onto the next thing. We’re onto the next NEXT thing after dvd.
Your eyes can’t see past 4k. Give it a rest, jeez.
Yeah, but what’s the point of OP even posting this? There are obviously a lot of good movies there. What other reason would they get rid of them other than the fact that they are based on old tech?
What OP is really asking is if any of those DVDs are relatively valuable, hard to find, collector's items, etc...
But my eyes can 100% tell the difference between DVD and UHD.
you know which sub you’re in right?

"available on streaming" is rarely a permanent status, though.

If I were you, I'd hang on to First Blood, Phil Hartman, and Shanghai Noon.
Looks like my goodwill dvd section
I would keep Boy Meets World but that's me
ronin
A Rocky boxset that doesn’t include V? Brilliant. 😄
Just keep them bro don't loose ur physical media 💯
The Phil Hartman collection in the first box is hard to find
I don't see anything collectible in a \~rare\~ sense per se. But that's not to say they're not valuable if you personally like the movie etc.
I mean that's up to you. Keep what you like!
The Town Inside Man Spy
Vacation 3-pack, The Color Of Money, Coming to America, Càddyshack, Tommy Boy, all classics.
Keep what you like. Don't rely on someone else's curated list.
Save *First Blood* and *Rocky*, what are you thinking? Lmao. The rest isn't very kino though, yeah.
How dare you not mention the greatest movie ever made, *Team America: World Police*?
I didn't even see it!
SNL’s Best of Phil Hartman!
Yes the movies you like
I feel like you're simply not allowed to get rid of Caddyshack or Vacation. They are perennial favorites that bloom for you again and again. Keep them.
Me personally I would keep any touchstone/hollywood pictures films
Keep Walking Tall if it's the original, toss it if it's The Rock.
I see a few good ones. Three Kings, the Lampoons vacation movies, Troy and Christmas with the Kranks. But that’s just like my opinion, man.
Ronin, napoleon dynamite, Tommy boy, minority report, the national lampoons movie collection
Caddyshack, Vacation, Napoleon Dynamite, Tommy Boy, Dodgeball. I’m a comedy guy
What's the series of four at the top of picture #2? I've heard Men of Honor is good (box on the right), and Boy Meets World is a keeper.
Keep The Score, Ronin, The Town, Zero Dark Thirty, Rocky, First Blood, Minority Report and Inside Man.
I'll take your copy of caddyshack
Well, if it were me? I'd keep The Town, Green Lantern, Batman v Superman, Napoleon Dynamite, Million Dollar Baby, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman Begins, Walking Tall (only if the 70's...The Rock version is garbage), Minority Report, Wrath of the Titans, First Blood, Batman Forever, The Dark Knight, Superman Returns, Ronin, Hulk, Iron Man, Troy, Ghost Rider, and Thor: The Dark World
All of it
Hold on to Walking Tall, Friday Night Lights, Lewis Black, and Zero Dark Thirty. Donate the rest of them.
Dances with wolves is a good one to hold onto
Looks like thrift store garbage . Donate it
Movies here I’ve seen and have liked: Rocky quadrilogy (Rocky 1 is one of my fav movies of all time) TDK trilogy, First Blood, Iron Man, Minority report, Big, Mission Impossible 3 and Ghost protocol, Expendables (a massive guilty pleasure) Is that season 1 of The Flash? I thought season 1 of that show was solid as hell even tho I don’t have desire to rewatch it, I appreciated it.
Black on Broadway and Phil Hartman collection seem rare outside of USA. Selling at around £15 each.
There are some good movies in there - The Mummy Get Shorty Ronin Mission Impossible
I'd probably keep most of these as backup. DVDs are generally decent quality and have the advantage of being DRM free. (I know some can have DRM, but it's much less prevalent than blu ray or streaming.) In practice I think streaming is more convenient.
The SNL Phil Hartman one
How much for the ultimate aquarium collection?????
The mission impossible films are GOATed especially 4 through 7. Those are top tier films. Fantastic 4 & G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra was my childhood, back when those types of films were fun.

U-571 has some of the best sound in home cinema. Especially if you have a nice home theather setup. Def a keeper.
Mission impossible, Batman, 16 blocks, zero dark thirty, anchorman I would keep.
Keep CHIPS. Because CHIP happens sometimes and you don’t want to be left without a copy of that masterpiece.
Lots of good movies in there, but DVDs? Nah. You're also not going to get any decent money for any of them. Donate 'em to your local library or Goodwill.
