Do you download films and store them on your PC?

Yes.

I have hundreds of films stored on an external drive that is connected to my AppleTV so I can watch them instantly whenever I want. If I have it on DVD, I eventually rip it and store it so that I can box up the discs and never have to search for a title. Also on that drive are many complete TV shows -especially childhood favorites like Lost In Space, The Avengers, The Burns and Allen Show, McMillan and Wife, Land of the Giants, Bewitched, Hogan's Heroes, My Favorite Martian, Laugh-In, etc.

I have another drive with my music collection (14 TB) .

Yes I have around 30 terabytes of films and tv which I have collected over the years.

No.

Femme Fatale! Great choice.

I actually just stream at this point.

lol, I have 8 TB of films/TV shows saved to hard drives

Just porn, I got burned years ago thinking it would always be on line and then suddenly XTube got taken down.

I have about 650 movies (one of which is Strange Days, OP) and 30 complete TV shows on an external hard drive.

Have fun being at the mercy of streaming services, r1. There are a ton of movies that are completely unavailable on streaming. You sound stupid.

What horrible movies those are, OP. You should be embarrassed.

No. I rely on streaming which gives me enough to watch but for the films that slip through the cracks and are not available, sometimes for long stretches of time.

It's only a handful of films I miss. And these I used to have on DVD when I had a small collection of between 100 and 200 titles. I ditched then all when I moved to another country, not wanting another multiregion DVD player, now with a different power supply.

I find that I like the idea of rewatching a film very much more than I like the bother of actually rewatching a film. It's a bit of a nonsensical insurance policy. Hard drives of films aren't on my wishlist.

i dont store much on my computer. I have many TB of media files on disks.

Be careful about external storage hard drives. The new solid state NVME SSD's are great with speed, and I use them a lot, but if you are going to store long term, like an archive they can lose data very fast if you do not power them on for a long time. They are saying anything longer than 1 year it could start dropping data. You should power them on at least once every 6 months. Slow mechanical HD are still better for long term storage.

Yes. I hoard all kinds of media -- movies, TV shows, music, books. All of it is stored on external hard drives.

I do — I also use Jellyfin which networks my library. It’s great.
