We live in rather a unique time in film history. Until quite recently, it was not possible to view most any title, from nearly any decade, right in one's own home. This flat screen in my living room beats any silver screen I grew up near. In addition, the picture clarity and sonic experience, especially of remastered classics, rival the actual theatrical prints of yesteryear. I can hardly recall the last time I saw dust or a stray hair in a frame! Even better, nowadays, an mp4 file can never break in the middle of a show!
As well as keeping up on a plethora of recent productions, I make it a habit to regularly expose myself to older movie classics. During months that my Internet bandwidth usage is low, I download and store. I'll tell you, lots can fit on an external 2TB portable drive!
