Suburban Commando was great, tbh. And Thor: Rag is among my fave MCU films at this point.

As for my thrift store DVDs, offhand I think within the past few weeks I've picked up:

Batman: The Animated Series volume 1 (paid $4 -- most of the rest is $1 or $2)
Catch Me If You Can (only paid 50-cents)
Life on Mars
Trading Places

Finding the show Life On Mars (which is about a detective who wakes up in the past) was neat because I had watched most of it on NFI but missed the ending before it went off streaming before I finished it. It's a shorter series and something I'd wanted to eventually re-watch anyway. In fact, *most* DVD purchases are things I've seen or, at least, seen part of it (some Disney movies and comic book films being obvious exceptions)

Buying DVDs in 2018.... automatic -1/10

It's time to upgrade to HD. It's 2018. Heck, you would be better off buying it digitally than buying a DVD in 2018.

DVD's are way cheaper.

This so hard. The bulk of my movie DVDs I've only paid a buck or two for. TV series have ranged from $1 to $4 usually.

Only downside is storage since I like saving the cases >_> That and potentially buying duplicates.

It's not as simple as taking care of your stuff. "DVD rot" (and before that was "CD rot") is a real thing. Basically the glue that holds the layers of the DVD together will erode over time, and eventually the DVD becomes unplayable. It doesn't matter how well you take care of your DVD, you cannot stop the glue from eroding over time. I take care of my DVDs, and I still have had some that have died due to DVD rot.

Have yet to see that happen to anything I own. Is it a matter of over-use? Age? Storage?
