Streaming is constantly removing movies. There were fewer movies on Netflix streaming in 2022 than there were in 2015 (source: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflixs-movie-library... ) And, according to the same source, Netflix has almost no movies from before 2000.

People might start looking to DVDs for more variety in their movies!

Yeah, but DVDs have horrible picture quality, at lousy 480p resolution.

The answer isn't DVDs, it's to set sail on the high seas. You can get any pre-2000 movie you want there, usually in extremely high quality.

It is 720p. And the image quality is much better than Netflix's HD. I tried to look at Valerian on Netflix. The colours were so bad that i decided to look at the DVD instead. Sound on Netflix is terrible.

Following netflix's increasingly terrible bitrates I've made the switch to blu rays and renting shows from my local library. Couldn't be happier, 4k netflix doesn't hold a candle to 1080 blu ray for me.

DVDs are the only realistic way I have left of getting most older movies (and Blu-Ray for newer movies). I'd be thrilled if the format gets a resurgence!
