Despite the prevalence of streaming services as the nation’s primary way to watch film and tv shows, local dad Kent Anderbrock, 53, still has hundreds of DVDs proudly on display in his living room, filling up an entire bookshelf. This DVD collection, which began with the purchase of Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the format in the year 2000, is meticulously alphabetized and clearly separated between movies and TV complete series.
When asked about his collection, Anderbrock replied, “Listen, I like owning my own things, you know? With these Netflixes and such, they can take away a movie you like just like that. This way I can watch whatever I want, whenever I want.”
Anderbrock’s collection includes classics such as the Blade Runner director’s cut and Anchorman, but also contains dozens of forgettable titles such as American Pie Presents: Band Camp and Fletch Lives, the latter of which Anderbrock describes as “extremely underrated.”
“I don’t regret a single DVD purchase I have ever made. All of these movies I stand by and watch all the time,” Anderbrock stated, before pausing and adding, “Well, except for Mystic Pizza. Think the wife bought that one a while back for herself.”
