4K UHD Lacking Titles

[leosantare]

Hello,

I was just getting ready to purchase a 16TB drive and begin a 200 4K-UHD disc collection.

However, after looking into the available selection of titles and doing some research, this doesn't even seem possible for me. Currently, there are only about 30 titles (at best) that appeal to me, and it seems like most titles will not get a 4K-UHD release.

I thought about having a 200 disc movie collection that is an even mix of standard HD and 4K-UHD blu-rays. For example, 100 standard HD and 100 4K-UHD blu-rays. Although, this isn't really ideal to me and would rather just stick with one format. Plus, there isn't even 100 4K-UHD titles out there for me.

Going with 200 standard HD Blu-rays would really makes things easy for me. That is, since I can just get an 8TB SSD and there are more than 200 titles out there that appeal to me. At the same time, I really would like to have 4K-UHD collection instead since I plan on getting a 75" 4K display for my PC. The downside of this for me is I would need a 16TB HDD and there probably will never be 200 titles that appeal to me.

Does anyone of have any ideas for the future of 4K-UHD titles? I would appreciate any ideas as it could help me decide on things.

I'm interested in titles that were released after the year 2000 to current. To name a few, titles such as,

Clash Of The Titans
The Crazies
It Follows
Fool's Gold
The Hangover
Knocked Up
Moulin Rouge
Piranha
Sahara
Tintin
Unknown
Wedding Crashers
World War Z
Wrong Turn (2003)
Yes Man

Cannikin has been keeping the 4K release spreadsheet up to date as well.


In any case, the library of 4K movies is growing all the time. I think many people have a mixed collection of things from a variety of sources. My library has DVDs, blu-rays, and UHDs in it, neatly mimicking the movies on my shelf near my home theater. Deciding you don't want any 4K movies because you can't get all the movies you want in 4k would seem to unnecessarily and arbitrarily deprive yourself of the opportunity to enjoy the (currently available) best version of a movie. That my copy of Casino Royale (2006) is only a blu-ray doesn't diminish my UHD version of No Time to Die (2021). Watching either isn't harder because they're from different sources.

Regarding storage space… when I decided to rip my library of movies, my back-of-an-envelope math suggested I could hold everything I had easily in less than 8TB. I figured 18TB of storage would be more than enough. But my collection grew and that amount of space was inadequate. I'm at 54 TB of storage now and thinking about how to grow to support more than 200TB of storage. I don't think my story is all that rare. A lot of people here end up with quite a lot of storage because movie collections grow in ways that are hard to anticipate.
