How many times have you owned the same film?
We all have our favourite films but which one have you owned the most over the years?
I'm not such a big fan now but growing up it was the original Star Wars trilogy.
I had (deep breath):
The first wide-screen VHS release.
The Imperial Star Destroyer Executor VHS metal box set. (The trilogy in wide-screen with lots of extras on more tapes).
The official Maylaisan VideoCD trilogy set.
The UK laserdisc of the special edition trilogy.
The first release on DVD and the Blu-ray Saga set.
I also used to have various bootleg sets of the original trilogy sourced from LaserDiscs and a German copy of the special editions in HD before Blu-rays were released.
Phew!
That's the most varied. All my other films have followed the standard route of VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K.
Anyone else?
EDIT: Forgot about my Laserdisc set!

I have 26 VHS copies of The Lion King 2
But why.
I saw an Instagram reel of someone who just keeps on buying copies of Titanic on VHS! No idea how many they have.
I saw them too, that's partially what inspired me haha
The one I saw was a guy trying to get every VHS copy of Jerry Maguire.
The heck.
I’ve had the Indiana Jones trilogy on VHS, DVD, BluRay, and UHD.
I was stoned and read UMD and then wrote UHD lol
lol was it released on UMD? I think the only UMD discs I had were Akira and a random season of Aqua Teen
UHD is a good one. I had Waiting and some good movie I cannot remember.
I used to have 38 copies of nukie
Predator: VHS, laserdisc, DVD, DVD Remastered, Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray Remastered, Google Play, 4K Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray (Predator movie collection).
I'm liking that list!
I buy every unique printing of the real Spy Kids films (1-3) that I run into at thrift stores for my collection. I'd have to find them in my house though.
I have way more copies of Tron than I should. Even have it on UMD.
