I wish he had talked more about his movie collection. I’m interested in the methods of selecting initial items as well as ones that survive in the collection for 10+ years.


My server isn't nearly as big as his, but my collection is mostly Criterion https://www.criterion.com/closet-picks


Off topic but why do people run Plex and movies locally in 2024? Is “iTunes” that bad?


I don’t know about other people but I run Plex because it lets me run my home movie collection through multiple clients (Apple TV, browser, phones, etc). iTunes works great with content bought from Apple, but is useless when playing your own media files from other sources.

I just want every Disney movie available so my kids can watch without bothering me.
