These problems don’t even come close to the biggest issue of them all, though. For the most part, the movies that you can’t stream can be purchased in DVD or Blu-ray form if you look hard enough. But if it’s an original release from a streaming service, you may discover that there is no amount of money you can pay to get a physical copy.

Last year, Mike Flanagan, the filmmaker behind horror movies like Hush, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep, as well as series like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, revealed that Netflix actively avoids physical releases of their original properties.

“In the years I worked at Netflix, I tried very hard to get them to release my work on Blu-ray and DVD,” he said during a panel discussion. “They refused at every turn. It became clear very fast that their only priority was subs, and that they were actively hostile to the idea of physical media.” It’s up to companies like Criterion to break these movies out of streaming jail and given them a physical release. This is the only reason you can purchase hard copies of Roma, Marriage Story, and All of Us Strangers.

The problem goes far beyond a cinephile’s desire to own physical media, too. Film preservation relies on hard copies, be it film, tapes, or DVDs. Digital media is ephemeral. Licences can be revoked, files can be corrupted, and quality can be watered down for the sake of easy storage. Physical media, whether it’s sitting on your shelf at home or in the US Library of Congress, isn’t subject to the whims of an executive who has never heard of Akira Kurosawa or seen a low-budget cult film from the Czech New Wave.

Flanagan highlighted this point, saying that “while companies like Netflix pride themselves on being disruptors and have proven that they can affect great change in the industry, they sometimes fail to see the difference between disruption and damage. So much that they can find themselves, intentionally or not, doing enormous harm to the very concept of film preservation.”

The irony is that, while the idea of ‘owning’ physical media can look like a manifestation of a consumerist, materialistic society, it’s the digital realm that we have to worry about in that regard. Digital media is beholden to studios and corporations that are only concerned with the bottom line rather than the preservation of culture. In contrast, distributors like Criterion, Kino Lorber, Arrow Video, and Severin Films offer high-quality, physical restorations of movies that often include audio commentary, essays, multiple cuts, and elaborate artwork. In short, physical media treats films as enduring works of art, while streaming platforms reduce them to ‘content.’ I know which definition I want to be behind.

This stunningly restored and remastered Director's Cut adds more gravitas and organic characterization to the historical masterpiece, a cinematic experience that is further plussed when seen in Dolby Vision and heard with Atmos. Visionary director Ridley Scott crafted a passionate and perilous tale of the Crusades that has made its mark on audiences for decades, but never before has it been shown in such high-definition sight and sound, deepening the experience for longtime fans and a new generation alike.

Originally released on May 6, 2005, Kingdom of Heaven is one of Scott's most revered creative endeavors, having crafted a world rich in history, adventure, and visual splendor in which to tell an epic tale. Orlando Bloom stars as the courageous Balian, a young Frenchman in medieval Jerusalem during the Crusades. Having lost everything, Balian finds redemption through a heroic fight — against overwhelming forces — to save his people and fulfill his destiny as a knight.

Dark City in 4K! Get in!

Sean Connery is often cited as the best actor to ever step into the shoes of James Bond. However, his films have never been released on 4K Blu-ray--only Daniel Craig's turn as Bond has received the 4K treatment. That's about to change, as the 007: James Bond Sean Connery 6-Film Collection (4K Blu-ray) is officially up for preorder ahead of its June 3 release date. If you're looking for a premium way to store and display the collection, a Limited Edition Steelbook Box Set is also launching the same day.

Amazon hasn't added images of the box sets to its store pages yet, but we will update this article as soon as promotional images and more details are available.

...

The steelbook collection includes six steelbooks--one for each film--plus a massive "steelbook library case" to keep them organized on your shelf. Details are scarce, but we do know you'll get 4K and digital versions of all six films. Expect to learn more about bonus features soon. Since this is the first time the films are making the jump to 4K, we expect there to be high demand for the product. Be sure to preorder if you want to be among the first to have it in their home.

Here's a look at the six films included in the collection:

• Dr. No
• From Russia With Love
• Goldfinger
• Thunderball
• You Only Live Twice
• Diamonds are Forever

Every town has a story — Tombstone has a legend. Experience the explosive, action-packed battle on 4K Ultra HD. U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell), his brothers (Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton) and the outrageous Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) band together to bring law to the lawless in a notorious showdown at the O.K.

Corral into theatrical reality, including the storyboard process and realistic Old West gunslinging.

The upcoming 4K release of Tombstone is the high-res huckleberry fans have awaited for decades...you're a daisy if you don't add it to your personal cinema archives. Along with previously released bonus extras, the 4K disc will draw an eye-popping collectible limited edition SteelBook with custom artwork and packaging.

In recent weeks, we here at JoBlo have written some wild stories about how physical media has sometimes fallen flat with consumers. The idea with physical media was always that, in an era where many people own things digitally (which they don’t really own at all), having a film on Blu-ray meant that it would always be yours. However, collectors have been somewhat shaken up lately by the spectre of laser rot, where, after a certain time, discs simply go bad, regardless of whether you play them or not. As I previously revealed, pretty much every DVD (and HD-DVD) Warner Bros manufactured between 2006-8 fell prey to this, and our own Tyler Nichols followed-up with his own piece, listing hundreds of Blu-ray’s which have always gone bad – for whatever reason.

However, as Tyler notes, in many cases, especially when a disc comes from a specialty label, they’ll do everything they can to replace a defective disc. In fact, even WB has gone on record saying they would replace discs, no matter how old they are (although several readers have reached out to me saying that WB is taking a lot of time to get back to them). Criterion has been especially good at replacing discs that no longer work, and I imagine the same would go for any 4K specialty label, although so far, their discs all seem to work just fine.

With that in mind, we want to celebrate some of our favourite specialty labels. Mine is probably Arrow Video, which is like the Criterion Collection of genre films, but there are plenty of great ones to choose from. Take our poll below and let us know!

That page is such a mess, I can't even see the poll, so throw in your suggestions in the comments below.

I have a couple of Eureka! releases - “Region B” - that I’d like to watch. My (US) PS4 won’t play them, and apparently there’s a limited number of times you can change the region on it.

I see that Blu Ray drive peripherals exist for computers, but my TV is my computer monitor and a separate player seems like a smarter option.

I don’t tend to buy things new, and get most of my tech from thrifting. Are there any particular brands of Blu Ray players that are more likely to be region free? Is there a quick way of looking at a Blu Ray player and determining what region it can play?
