Curious if anyone else collects movies virtually on Apple? If so, how many do you have? I’m currently at 1477 movies.🍿 🎥

    If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, getting movies and shows on iTunes is the best place. Great player, tons of deals, synced across all devices seamlessly. If not, VUDU is pretty much the next best. I have an xbox and amazon prime and even with deep sales, I almost never get a move or tv show there unless it’s on iTunes. I’d rather wait for the sale to show up there instead. It’s just that much better and simple IMO.

      Yes, I agree! Not sure if you hear of blu-ray.com? They show all movies that are currently discounted. You can filter by 4k/HD. I’ve been using for years and it helps you save on Apple movies.

        Only downside to Blu-ray.com is the titles need to be in their database first otherwise you won’t know about all titles that get a drop. I mainly use Blu-ray.com as a purchase log.

        Another alternative is CheapCharts, their app can even give notifications as and when price drops happen and alert you separately when any movies or tv shows you’ve placed in your wish list have had a drop.

        I’ve been doing two things, using cheapcharts and Ms Rewards. I’ll only buy a movie on my xbox if I know for sure it has movies anywhere enabled. Learned my lesson when I first started collecting and bought all John Wick movies there. Ugh. I heard good things about the Blu-ray site too, so it doesn’t hurt to double check. Using the wishlist feature on iTunes is useful too, as cheapcharts doesn’t show a sale immediately. Another reason I prefer Apple is cause I’m partially deaf. I’ve never encountered a movie or show on appletv app that shows subs incorrectly or with delayed input. Parent Trap, the Jetsons, and a few other shows have horrible captions. I actually bought the Jetsons a second time on iTunes just to “fix” this.
