We love movies, and we love owning them. There's something special about a real disc: the cover art, the special features, the ritual of picking something off the shelf and pressing play. Streaming services come and go, and titles disappear without warning. A physical copy stays put.
This site is our shelf, made searchable. It's a living catalogue of the physical movies and media we've gathered over time, and it keeps growing. Whether you're a friend looking for something to borrow, a fellow collector, or just us trying to remember whether we already own a film, this is the place to look.
Finding something
Start typing in the search bar and the shelf narrows as you go. You can search by title, media type, or the names of the lead actor, lead actress or director. Use the dropdowns to filter by:
- Genre: films with more than one genre show up under each.
- Language: the language the film was made in.
- Format: how the title is stored, such as a particular disc type.
- Decade: the era the film was released in.
Search and filters work together. Active filters appear as small tags, and clicking a tag removes it.
Reading a card
- Poster: the film's artwork, or the title on a plain card if we don't have one.
- Year and runtime: when it was released and how long it runs.
- Tags: the format of our copy and the language of the film.
Opening a title
Click any card to see more:
- Lead actor and lead actress: the stars of the film.
- Director and music director: the people behind the camera and the score.
- Media type: what kind of title it is.
- Disk name: the name our copy goes by on the shelf.
- Disk features: the extras that come with our copy.
- Watch status: whether we've watched it yet.
- View on TMDB: opens the film's page on The Movie Database for the plot, cast, trailers and reviews.
This shelf is never finished, and that's the fun of it. New discs arrive, old favourites get better editions, and the watch list never gets shorter. Happy watching.
