As I live in Latinamerica (Mexico) where new movies in physical media are no longer sold or manufactured (we can only buy new physical releases imported in Amazon) this store is a dream to me and this makes me miss those old days when I had the chance to be at a Blockbuster for hours only walking through the store and seeing all the movies they had and finding opportunities to buy new ones.
How come they let you in these shops with your dog? Are you blind now?! Also YES to you filming yourself out and about. Allow us to make the journey with you…where else you might go in town, where you go for lunch etc. let us live vicariously through you! 😉
Your dog stole the show Elliot, please include dog in all future videos. Love the artwork from 88 films, I'm excited to have witchfinder general and blood on Satan's claw 4k preordered from them. Great vid
Top notch curating work by your guest host! I was wondering: Have you ever thought about doing an audience Q&A video? Or a video going into your history with the medium, your journey as a collector/movie-liker? I know folks who have watched your channel from the start have probably formed a pretty coherent picture of your tastes, but I think a video like that would be super helpful as a bit of instant context for relatively new BB converts (like myself)
As an American, I'm very jealous of Brits that have access to HMV with all the amazing boutique labels in one physical location. It looks like a throwback to the 2000's of physical media shopping in the US. I would gladly pay a flat $30 for if they'd ship to the US. Awesome video, would gladly watch more of these!
It’s the only physical media shop left in the UK. I make a point of going and spending money regularly because I don’t want it to go away. Twenty years ago we had three in my town and on a Saturday the queen to pay for your goodies went all the way out the door! The good old days.
Loved your search and the cex you go to seems to always have some goodies that I don't find in mine or even central London. A big thank you more please.
Great stuff. Loving the hunting videos, Great addition to the channel. I love your advice,reviews, recommendations. Anything really... for a while now. Thank you very much for your content. Even tho for some reason the app/site says I'm not subscribed so I have to keep clicking the button, a bit weird but rest assured I have been watching for a few years. And love and trust your content. 👊👍❤️
Seeing as your gaze briefly alighted on Breaking The Waves I was wondering whether you ever watched Von Trier’s “The Kingdom” I’m sure you’re aware of the recent MUBI release but if you’ve not watched it then I’d heartily recommend it. Surreal, haunting, dreamlike, shocking, baffling, engrossing, nightmarish and frequently utterly hilarious it’s a great package for a superb original show (Yes, forget Stephen King’s inferior rehash) Very Lynchian in style plus the third “season” being a much more recent 5 episode “event” that pushes the button marked meta it’s a boxset that can easily be devoured over a weekend and one that will equally boggle, baffle and bewilder. Plus Udo Kier is truly unforgettable and the third series even brought in Willem Dafoe! Anyhow, would love to hear your views if you’ve seen it or plan to do so. A perfect side dish to the Curzon set despite there still being a big Dancer In The Dark hole left in my collection. Oh, and thanks for reminding me to buy The Hunger. Dug out my DVD only last week and watched it but been wanting the Blu and forgot it was already an HMV exclusive.
Nice video, love Blossom, Really cute. Absolutely used to love browsing HMV and Virgin Megastores back in the day. Now however I’m very much an Amazon guy. The offers and the returns policies are absolutely brilliant, especially for the boutique labels, but you really have to keep your eye on the price drops. Preordered Fear and Loathing on 4k for £14.99 and I remember purchasing in December ‘22 the first three Dario Argento 4K Arrow boxsets for £19.99 each. Certainly a nice drop from £29.99 advertised when first sold. Revolution for £15! Bought it a few years back during a BFI flash sale. Think I spent £7 on it.
Excellent video Elliot; I heard very good things about ‘The Wages Of Fear’; ‘C’mon C’mon’ is a really great film from A24; I’m sure you are gonna really enjoy that one. Look forward to seeing more of these Blu-Ray hunt videos mate 😀👍
Yes, as 'heard' on their occasional TV ads. I guess Elliott pronounces it like that to avoid the video being flagged by the insane censorship algorithm.
There ain't a store 100 miles away from me that contains this many titles. But then again, if there were such a store nearby... I'd be in massive debt. 💀 Btw, Blossom has some great taste. 👌🏽
Hey, does anyone know when the best Criterion deals hit the UK? I know the US has annual half-price sales, but do we have anything similar in the UK? If so, when and where? Cheers.
HMV have label specific sales (incl. Criterion) from time to time. Just a case of keeping your eye open on the website drop-down menu, or popping in your local store if you're lucky enough.
I have the first Columbo (Series 1-7) box set on Blu-ray that came out in December 2023. It's a standard Blu-ray but the original 35mm film was scanned at 4K.
Certainly on my 'to buy' list. It's an old Section 3 video nasty. The same label (Treasured Films) also put out 'The Last Hunter' which is another section 3 movie.
Elliot - A truly fun trip. I also wish we had shops like this in the U.S. There’s hardly anything left here in “brick and mortar,” and I live in NYC! More like this please and more of your sweet doggie!!
If you missed my last trip Blu-ray Hunting, you can watch it here - ua-cam.com/video/nL-8x5rb75A/v-deo.html
More of this please!
I will film another soon! Cheers
I second that these are so cozy and enjoyable
So envious of that 4k section! And your little buddy seems to have great taste, adorable
I’m here for the Elliot Coen Blu-ray hunt era!
I need you to teach me the art of Blu-ray hunting!

£10.-15 is about the limit surely pricewise, maybe £20 for something special. But £32 for Creepshow is insane
It is a bit much. I’m happy to wait
My god, there is no store like this anywhere near me
Awesome ... Wages Of Fear! Nice!
Hi Elliot I would like you to do more of the Blu ray hunting. Videos in the future really enjoyed it
Thank you Mike, I will do!
How come they let you in these shops with your dog? Are you blind now?!
Also YES to you filming yourself out and about. Allow us to make the journey with you…where else you might go in town, where you go for lunch etc. let us live vicariously through you! 😉
Lots of shops allow dogs in these days!
Your dog stole the show Elliot, please include dog in all future videos.

Great vid

Hey thanks for the nice comment! I haven’t done a Q&A for some years now so perhaps I’ll make one soon. Thanks for the suggestion!
This was a fun little excursion. Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks for watching Craig!

HMV in my town closed years ago apart from CEX and Asda with a very limited Dvd library nowhere in my town sell physical media anymore
It’s the only physical media shop left in the UK. I make a point of going and spending money regularly because I don’t want it to go away. Twenty years ago we had three in my town and on a Saturday the queen to pay for your goodies went all the way out the door! The good old days.
Naaw, I was thinking about getting a Shiba. Adorable.
They are brilliant dogs! Highly recommended
Please do more of these!!
we need more of this❤
More coming!
Loved your search and the cex you go to seems to always have some goodies that I don't find in mine or even central London.
A big thank you more please.
Good stuff!
Another excellent video. Love these. Only pity is now there are only 2 shops on the high street to visit.
Awesome video and pickups 👍🔥
Thanks for watching!
Try the black and white classic - Gaslight.

The HMV in Milton Keynes is also excellent for blu rays.
Excellent video Elliot; I heard very good things about ‘The Wages Of Fear’; ‘C’mon C’mon’ is a really great film from A24; I’m sure you are gonna really enjoy that one. Look forward to seeing more of these Blu-Ray hunt videos mate 😀👍
I can only imagine what the director's cut of your video was like.😉
Definitely enjoy the browsing with your commentary 👍
Just got the Shout Factory 4K Steelbook of Creepshow. Fully restored from original negative and new Atmos mix. Looks and sounds amazing!
Your right no one talking about sisters brothers got my 4k yesterday and I just got wb archive land of the Pharaoh's and three musketeers 1948
Excellent vid Elliot, really miss browsing HMV, they closed our local store years ago,nearest store is nearly 2 hours away 🥴
Great watch, I do like the way you pronounce “CeX” as Kecks, I believe it’s actually pronounced “Sex”
Yes, as 'heard' on their occasional TV ads. I guess Elliott pronounces it like that to avoid the video being flagged by the insane censorship algorithm.
Wish I had stores like these where I live.
Great video, elliot! Is perfect days a good starting point for a Wim Wenders films?
Hey thanks! I haven’t actually seen Perfect Days yet but I’ve heard it’s fantastic.
Great to see Stockport's HMV my local store here. I absolutely hate Stockport's CEX the staff are thick as pig muck.
My local hmv no longer sells the brilliant Indicator range - blu ray - definitive Extras.
在這店鋪真係好多4K影碟👍👍👍
There ain't a store 100 miles away from me that contains this many titles. But then again, if there were such a store nearby... I'd be in massive debt. 💀
Btw, Blossom has some great taste. 👌🏽
Have you seen The osterman weekend? It's a must see
Hey, does anyone know when the best Criterion deals hit the UK? I know the US has annual half-price sales, but do we have anything similar in the UK? If so, when and where? Cheers.
HMV have label specific sales (incl. Criterion) from time to time. Just a case of keeping your eye open on the website drop-down menu, or popping in your local store if you're lucky enough.
Will they upscale all Bluerays to 4k eventually? and what about British BlueRays they seem to stay on Blueray except Snatch 🤔
I have the first Columbo (Series 1-7) box set on Blu-ray that came out in December 2023. It's a standard Blu-ray but the original 35mm film was scanned at 4K.
Mausoleum is decent. Aren’t HMV having a studio canal sale?
Certainly on my 'to buy' list. It's an old Section 3 video nasty. The same label (Treasured Films) also put out 'The Last Hunter' which is another section 3 movie.
Is that Creepshow rare? I’ve got that Blu-ray.
If it’s the UK disc yeah it is’
In which shop do you go shop the movies in this movie?
What are you even asking man
HMV and CEX
@@PanfluteExpedition_Because it is interesting.
@@ElliotCoen Nice information. Thank you very much.
Elliot - A truly fun trip. I also wish we had shops like this in the U.S. There’s hardly anything left here in “brick and mortar,” and I live in NYC! More like this please and more of your sweet doggie!!
