    I think the reason he has such a big collection is that it helps him seal business deals: his job is to build private cinemas so he can use this collection as a kind of a showroom of his expertise and love for the business. Potential clients will be in awe and will be happy when he miracolously also has "their" favorite movie in stock, which they can watch in the projection room which would be the equivalent of testdriving a car before buying it. I really think it's a savvy business move to convince costumers that he is the right guy for the job.

    I don't know about that either. I still mostly (but not always) buy video discs to actually watch them for the first time or in a brand new experience (even though I very rarely buy video discs). I just like the idea of physically owning the discs. We've (my family has) done it like this since the 90s. But I'm saying like this as a common, casual collector, not like the guy in the video who treats his collection like a video archive. My parents usually gave those DVDs away if friends and family wanted to watch them. Rewatchability is one thing, but sharing is also a thing. It's like sharing video games back in the days. The question is, how can one watch something they've never seen (in full HD) without paying for the expensive price of physical formats, isn't available on netflix, without having to rent it digitally for 48 hours, playable on smart TV, and without having to use piracy. I think the only answer is digital downloads...? That is the only option I can think of. But don't they sometimes cost just as much or even more expensive than physical? All in all I think, in some cases, it still makes a lot of sense to buy physical copies of movies I've never seen. Doing research before buying is a no brainer, I think. But sometimes you are out at a video store and don't have internet access with you and you see movies on sale for 5 bucks and the covers and summaries look interesting and makes you want to buy it. I know that has happened to me at least once and it's hard to regret since they were on sale.

I think I've got around 120 4k copies and a lot more blurays but I only collect boutique blurays from criterion, arrow, etc. Some just for the artwork. Since movie stores don't really exist anymore, I want to have the same feeling of looking through a library of physical titles and hold the movie in my hands. And because of the artwork that these boutique companies do it's like having a collection of books.

    I too am a media collector, owning about a third of this featured collection. However despite spending $300,000 above, which may hold its value for the owner, sadly as many of us know in 'real terms' it's only worth a fraction of the original cost. Physical 'in-print' media devalues by approx 50% within first 12 months. If still available after typically 5 years, dependent upon title, a dvd/blu ray can lose 90% of it's bought price. Which is why I only buy 5% of my media brand new, these tend to be specific limited titles only. With many things in life, it tends to be "worth more to the owner than what it can sell for".

    +sisbrawny As a non-serious collector, it can be an economical way to satisfy that collector "need", and it's a good way for kids to learn about geography and history. When you don't know where a country is, you look it up and when you don't know who a person on a stamp is, you find out. True, the run of the mill flag or bird or tree doesn't tell you much, but a good commemorative stamp can tell you a lot. Plus, they're purty little pieces of paper you can stick in an album. But you must always remember, "Philately will get you nowhere."

You would need several very very high capacity hard drives. To copy them all with no picture or sound loss.

Some of my friends & family say I should run a store or library with my massive collection, but this Mr. Kalomikaris has me beat with his movie collection! I like that he has a lot of space dedicated just for his movie collection alone & how he has his own personal movie theater room. When Mr. Kalomirakis said that he hasn't seen most of the movies in his movie collection yet, I can truly relate to him. I haven't had a lot of time outside of work to watch all the DVDs I have bought over many years yet either. Anyways, after this video, I don't feel so bad about my large movie collection.
