I still like to buy movies & TV shows on physical media. I still have all of my music CDs as well. These days I tend to rip it all and keep it on my media server, as well as keeping copies of my music on my phone & a USB drive for my car, etc..
I have most of my CDs still packed in boxes, but for my movies (blu-rays and DVDs), I currently have them in a few plastic drawers. Lately I've thought about buying some movie storage containers that I can store them in, as well as containers that would make it easy to move them when I move to a different apartment/house. I'm curious if anyone might have some recommendations?
I just put my DVDs in their cases, and the cases on shelves. I no longer have many visits, but when I do I can impress them with my DVD and book collection sitting on the shelving.
For the record, my father keeps his optical media on special carriers. They are like folders loaded up with sleeves into which you can insert your CDs and DVDs. Think of them like books in which each page is a CD carrier with capacity for 4 or more disks. They are for the media only and do nothing for keeping the original cases, though.

I'm with you and I suspect there are more (and younger) folks feeling the same way as time moves along :)

My 16 year old kid likes to buy DVDs and watch them on a CRT TV in her
room. Her friends think its really cool too. She thinks its the best
way to watch anything from the 80s to early 2000s era. And we have a Jellyfin server with many terabytes of media easily accessible
anywhere in the house. Even with that, we are still a physical-forever house. I'd rather watch a new full 4k movie with quality audio off an
Ultra HD disc than stream it locally too.

Older things, too, especially those not made for the wide screen. Some people swear up and down that old shows look better in HD but, unless they've been remastered or something, I just think they don't look
quite right.

I'm glad we all have wide-screen TVs, so we don't need to watch pan-and-scan on 4:3 TVs anymore.
I think it's interesting that some TV shows that were shown in 4:3 apparently were filmed in widescreen format and they've been able to remaster them in widescreen.
Someone put together widescreen "screencaps" of Star Trek TOS, and it's interesting to see what it would have looked like on a modern screen.

THAT is an interesting result.

Yeah, in order to really take advantage of HD, it's best to remaster
it, including re-scanning the film in HD, if possible. That's what
they did with Star Trek: The Next Generation (and probably the same process for TOS), and I think it looks great in 1080p HD.
I remember hearing talk that they destroyed the Enterprise-D in the movie "Generations" because the sets looked so bad on the big screen - they were designed for TV production and you could see all of the defects and materials when shot for a movie.
It would certainly explain the lighting in the movie - it was so dark compared to the TV show lighting.

Who didn't get tingly when the Enterprise-D showed up in Picard S3?

Yeah, I've seen more people these days saying they've started to buy more physical media as they get frustrated about streaming services removing content.

Vinyl is popular all over again too, and I admit I have a small
collection and look for very specific things, but who saw that coming?
