Yes, some of us still buy Blu-rays, especially if there's no 4K version available.
Anyway, here's a movie that some of us here have enjoyed that's dropped down to under $7 on Amazon:
The Banshees of Inisherin (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BMQPNBX5/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1)
Great time to add it to the old library.

Kino Lorber is having a sale through 4/22/24, with most Blu-rays hovering around the $9-$10 range and 4K discs around $18. They specialize in niche and special interest titles, although there are A-list movies as well, with over 700 movies to choose from.
Here's a link to the sale: March Madness Sale (Final Day Monday, April 22nd) :: Kino Lorber - Experience Cinema (https://kinolorber.com/collection/march-madness-sale-2024/)
Shipping is steep if you're just looking for one or two movies ($8 for the first, $1 for each additional one), but orders over $50 ship for free. That's for the USA; prices for other countries will vary.
It's a good opportunity to fill out your library with some obscure movies you may be missing.

That’s one healthy haul

That’s one healthy haul
That's just a list - I didn't buy anything. (Yet.)

I bought 3 Blu-rays.....Out of Sight, The Notebook, and Somewhere in Time (last two were for my wife). Total cost was $16. There was a 4K of Out of Sight, but it was nearly 5X the cost, so I just opted for the Blu-ray.
-
I ended up grabbing 3 4K titles:
The Great Escape
Paths of Glory
Spaceballs
Haven't seen the first 2 so looking forward to them. TBH I'm not sure Spaceballs really gains much in 4K but I don't have it already so it's worth it.

Pig is on sale for a measly $8.93 at Amazon right now, and he wants you to watch it.
From the Hollywood Reporter: (https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/nicolas-cage-says-theres-one-of-his-120-movies-he-wants-you-to-watch/ar-BB1pCkYK?ocid=BingNewsSerp)Nicolas Cage Says There’s One of His 120 Movies He Wants You to See (hollywoodreporter.com) (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/nicolas-cage-best-movie-interview-1235940803/)
Cage was asked this question during a sit-down with The New Yorker. The actor has appeared in nearly 120 films since his breakout starring role in 1983’s Valley Girl and will be next seen in a rare supporting role in the horror movie Longlegs. Along the way, he won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas and racked up several fan-favorite performances in films such as 1987’s Moonstruck, 1988’s Vampire’s Kiss, 1995’s Face/Off and 2002’s Adaptation.
Yet, Cage didn’t pick any of those.
Instead, he chose Michael Sarnoski’s 2021 drama Pig, in which Cage plays a despondent loner and former acclaimed chef on the hunt for thieves who stole his beloved truffle pig. The film earned some of Cage’s best reviews in his career, and racked up a 97 percent positive score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Explained Cage: “[Pig is] something that I think people can get something out of, because tragedy is going to hit all of us at some point. It’s just a matter of when. It’s also a movie that to me is like a folk song. It’s very quiet, gentle movie, which is the polar opposite of … people thinking I’m crazy” due to the sort of high-energy and extravagant characters Cage has played in the past.
It's a really good movie, and I posted a positive review for it a couple of years ago: Pig (2021 - Blu-ray) - Movie reviews - AVS Discussions (avscience.com) (https://discuss.avscience.com/index.php?topic=3457.0)
Good time to pick it up if you're interested.

Pig was different and good. I have it in my collection.

For those of you still buying Blu-rays, The Iron Claw Bluray + DVD + Digital (https://www.amazon.com/Iron-Claw-Bluray-DVD-Digital/dp/B0CS6YYG6T?ref=dlx_deals_dg_dcl_B0CS6YYG6T_dt_sl14_ee_pi&pf_rd_r=SCNJ31YDVAD2ZY63P4NE&pf_rd_p=803dde02-c3c4-4c0f-8e6d-8126ac0017eehttps://www.amazon.com/Iron-Claw-Bluray-DVD-Digital/dp/B0CS6YYG6T?ref=dlx_deals_dg_dcl_B0CS6YYG6T_dt_sl14_ee_pi&pf_rd_r=SCNJ31YDVAD2ZY63P4NE&pf_rd_p=803dde02-c3c4-4c0f-8e6d-8126ac0017ee) is just $5.99 at Amazon for a limited time. That's the lowest price it's ever been, and there's still no sign of a 4K version for the US.
I wrote a positive review for it when it was first released: The Iron Claw (2023, Blu-ray, Library Rental) Review - Movie reviews - AVS Discussions (https://discuss.avscience.com/index.php?topic=4168.0)

I posted another version of this sale in the 4K thread but Barnes and Noble is having a 50% off sale for a wide variety of Arrow Video releases. Here's a link that includes Blu-rays and 4K discs: 50% Off Arrow Video | Barnes & Noble® (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/50-off-arrow-video/_/N-2wsbZ1f?Nrpp=40&page=1)
There are some newer, smaller releases in here, such as The Nightwatch Collection, Stepenwolf, and Crumb Catcher that I reviewed over the past couple of months, for anyone looking for something different from the typical Hollywood fare.

Gruv is having a Crazy Days sale on Blu-rays right now with 3 Blu-rays for $24 (https://gruv.com/collections/blu-ray-multi-buy-offers)
There are some good titles on this list, including some releases that haven't found their way onto 4K just yet (and may never make it).

Amazon has a fantastic selection on the Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection (https://www.amazon.com/Abbott-Costello-Complete-Universal-Collection/dp/B07WSKJCVP/ref=rvi_d_sccl_5/144-7113624-1852531?pd_rd_w=feg8v&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=E7Y8P505R38KZ8X946Q6&pd_rd_wg=MTWGr&pd_rd_r=f8ad5b2a-4afd-4b6e-9f09-0d7d9a60b36b&pd_rd_i=B07WSKJCVP&psc=1) right now, priced at a measly $49.49. That's less than $2 per movie!
@Barry just wrote up his reminiscence of one of the 28 films in this collection here: Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein - New Movies - AVS Discussions (https://discuss.avscience.com/index.php?topic=4747.msg30842#msg30842)
I thought this was a bargain when it was just $85 direct from Shout! in 2021, so this is a fantastic deal unless you plan on upgrading to the 4K versions once they are all released.

Gruv is having a March Movie Madness sale with Three Blu-ray movies for $19.98. Here's the link: March Movie Madness : 4K UHD Deals - 3 for $39 – GRUV Entertainment (https://gruv.com/collections/4k-uhd-multi-buy-offers)
Most of us have moved on to 4K UHDs, but some titles haven't been released on that format yet and some may not consider certain films, like comedies or dramas, worth the upgrade price.

Kino Lorber is having a spring sale through 4/20/26. While there are a few 4K discs included, most of the action takes place around the Blu-rays, many of which have never been put out on 4K:
https://kinolorber.com/collection/spring-sale-2026
Some of the best deals are for box sets, some of which are over half off, such as seasons 1-7 of Columbo ($149.95 down to #$4.99) and Francis the Talking Mule 7 Film Collection (normally $79.95, now just $#29.99).
Shipping is free once you hit $60.
