What was your very first movie on physical media purchase? (1 Viewer)

[Thomas T]

Are you sure, Thomas?

I thought they have been completely defunct for quite some time now

EDIT: There is a website claiming to be Columbia House but it sort of highlights a few clubs and I'm not even certain it's the same Columbia House Club of yesteryear. That might have been taken over by BMG.

I think the Columbia House name has been licensed out. So that must be the company sending me the e-mails. Here's a link to the current "Columbia House". https://www.columbiahouse.com/

I can't remember the very first VHS movie I purchased, but the first DVD was Gladiator (2000). I WAS entertained

The uncut version without the fade out is one of those things I’d love to have. I don’t think that’s ever been on tape. I’d still take the alternate music though - by the time I started collecting Bond on VHS it was the version that’s been used on all other releases to this day.

These sites may help. If anything “this will
Keep you busy for the next few days.”

DVD’s only?

To this day I remain annoyed with Universal for not continuing the series with busts for The Invisible Man, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera (as well as failing to create a "Legacy Edition" with the silent and half-baked color remake), and The Creature. I, too, still have them on display. My oldest grandson (now 18) called them "Those men" when he was old enough to ask about them.

There was a bust for The Invisible Man. You just can't see it.

we love these films like people, buying them over and over again, because they hit a nerve in us and bring us such joy......film will always be my favorite art form.

Not me. I don't buy people -- let alone over and over again -- no matter how much I like them.

i thought it was blu-ray. 4k physical media truly snuck up me and surprised me! i was really shocked when they announced it.

I wasn't, though I'm surprised that it's still going. I would've guessed it'd be too niche to last this long.

I don't think it'll go away unless 4K tvs go away??

Don't know. I delete their e-mails as soon as I get them.

LOL! Isn't it just easier to unsubscribe?

I dunno. 4K TVs won't go away, because they're needed for 4K streaming.

In 1982 King Kong '33 VHS on the Nostalgia Merchant label for $49.99. Bought at Video Shack 50th St & Broadway Nyc . Took home and put it in my brand new RCA top loading VHS VCR which I bought at Trader Horn on E 86th St NYC for $599.99, it came with a wired pause control. The rest is history.

It wasn't my first video tape, but I had that same release (but on Betamax).

Kinda off topic but - oh - how I wish I had experienced NYC in the 80s...

CHARADE (1963) on VHS -- the official Universal release before it fell into the public domain.

Great movie!

Pan and scan Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Gigi and High Society on VHS. It was a revelation to hear the first two in hifi stereo for the first time and watch them on my 16 inch Hitachi color tv when I was in Graduate School. We certainly have come a long way.

My first VHS tape was CBS/Fox's GOLDFINGER, which I bought before my first vcr, which was a Zenith.
