I'd like to get peoples' thoughts on Blu-ray vs. streaming when it comes to theatrical movies.
I haven't rented a movie on disc in years now, but I still collect Blu-rays, especially of beloved classics. Why don't I just stream them?

- I think the image quality is better on disc, even when you've got a 1080p stream (I'm ignoring 4K at the moment). The compression is heavier with streaming, and the video quality can change while you're watching the movie. But I'm not entirely sure that I'm not imagining the result.
- I know the sound is better on Blu-ray. You don't get to stream lossless.
- The extras. I do so love them.
- I like the feeling of owning a physical disc. If the studio decides to take that movie out of circulation, I still have it.
