Are Any VGCollectors Also Movie Collectors?

Are you watching and UHD discs or just steaming?  That makes a big difference as well.

Discs. I have no way to rip my 4K discs. And even if I did, the non 4K are straight rips, not compressed to MP4. I bought mumyself a 25 TB hard drive to hold that full quality.

Well, like I said it can be largely dependent on the discs themselves.  T2 for example has a notoriously bad transfer to 4K, but Lawrence of Arabia looks incredible.

I never stopped buying physical media and that goes for movies as well. Got around 700 Movies and TV Shows on DVD and around 180 Blu Rays. I don't see much point in jumping to 4K, as my eye sight sucks anyway and all those modern re-releases seem to rely on removing all film grain, ai upscaling and strange color grading, like those atrocious re-releases of Aliens, True Lies and Abyss or the latest Terminator 2 with the wrong colors. I grew up with VHS (still got a stack ranging from Stop or my Mom will shoot to the Star Wars Special Edition Box) so i don't mind "low resolution".

Just pre-ordered the Miami Vice Box (original release was too expensive for me, before the DVD Boxes were cut since they used the German TV masters)
Last stuff i bought was a limited edition of Phantasm 2 (#386 of 999), Airplane, Westworld and Symphony of Fear which consists of three Dario Argento Movies: Suspiria, Opera and Four Flies on Grey Velvet) needles to say, i much prefer classic movies over modern ones, i'm still yawning from Oppenheimer and shudder from that horrendous Masters of the Universe trainwreck.

I avoid 4k as well. But that's because I back-up my physical media to a hard drive and  use it as a personal server tp watch my collection. I don't have a 4k drive to rip 4k movies.
