If it’s bad in a theater and you read a review, why would you want to waste money buying it?

Classics are valued on DVD, they are what they are, never change, and never get outdated, the very thing you seem to loathe is what is valuable about professionally made DVD’s. One flaw to DVD’s are their size versus how much content they carry on them. When packaged in a case, a DVD is not much smaller than a VHS tape in a cardboard sleeze, and DVD’s are much harder to stack or carry around.

DVD’s are excellent date night material specifically because the busyness, or dizziness factor is reduced.

Ideally, people would probably prefer to own a desktop hard drive / solid state type of device that IS NOT A COMPUTER, but where they could store all of their favorite programs and find them easily.
