I focus a lot on 4k, bluray and dvds. Shuffling physical media is nice.

Small used cd/dvd stores like rasputin are a delight.

If life gets busy, you pause without racking up subscription fees.

Also - there is something deliberate about choosing and watching a movie physically. You buy it deliberately, and later you play it more deliberately.

When I had netflix, I could spend the time to watch a movie doomscrolling through not-that-great stuff to not watch.
