Do You Own Every Bond Movie On Physical Media?

I own every Bond movie in the Blu Ray format except Moonraker (too silly), Never Say Never Again (too meh), & No Time To Die (too trying-to-outdo-the-Skyfall-death-boo-hoo).
Am I the only one here that's not a completest?

    LOL, CR67 isn't a Bond film. It's a mess that needs clean up in aisle 7.

    Nah, there's plenty I have no desire to watch again (MR, AVTAK, any Brosnan one besides GoldenEye)

    Between 1996 and 2001 I collected all the films on VHS, including NSNA which I just taped off the telly. In 2007 I bought all the UE DVDs. From 2014 til now I've collected digital files of all the films in Bluray and 4k quality. I'll keep buying the DVDs until they're obsolete.

    Yes, twice over. Well, not quite; DVDs up to DAD and BluRays for all 25.
    I don’t have the unofficials.
    I’ve also got all the novels, including Fleming’s non fictions, nearly twice over. Plus a few more recent continuations.

    I bought the BOND50 Bluray Boxset when it was originally released. I also own several Bluray and 4K Steel books. I also bought all the films on digital copy via Amazon Prime so I can watch Bond on my Phone, Tablet's and PC whenever I want. (This was before Prime made them free to watch with Prime subscription)

    I owned numerous VHS and DVD Bond sets over the years though gave them all away.

    I own every EON film up to QOS with the Bond50 boxset. I got it in a second hand shop, which was pretty damn good value.

    Good find, BOND50 cost me £89.99 when it was first released.

    I have all the EON series (and NSNA) on DVD, except for No Time to Die, (which I do have on a memory stick). I can't bring myself to buy the NTTD DVD.
    I've never seen CR '67.

    I don’t own the non-Eon Bond films and I don’t have No Time to Die yet because I’ll probably wait to upgrade to a 4k boxset with it included.

    I never owned every Bond film until I got the Bond 50th bluray set. After that I have SF, SP and NTTD on bluray. I also have NSNA on bluray.

    I have to have physical copies of all all the films I love.

    I own them all on blu-ray and NTTD on 4K. I didn't like the changed look and menus of CR and QoS on 4K at all so the set wasn't worth the money. I do own a few double copies on blu-ray, whether they're awesome steelbooks or uncut editions of films.

    Got the full collection (as well as NSNA) on DVD up to SPECTRE. Was always determined to keep my collection complete until NTTD was released. NTTD will never have a place in my collection, ever.

    Yeah, I just have no desire to ever see it again.

    I almost got rid of my SP steelbook for the same reason but I knew I'd end up having to revisit it (thanks to its horrible "importance" in the Craig era arc) with my marathons so it'll stay for now.

    I used to have a number of them on VHS but when I switched to DVD I got all of those available at the time, that is including DAD, pretty quickly and later CR. I ultimately discarded the VHS tapes, since from about 2005, I didn't even have a player any more. I then switched from DVD to Blu-ray in 2010, bought a number of those I already had on DVD (the first was yet again CR) and then came the 50-year Blu-ray collection which was cheaper than buying the missing ones individually. I tried to sell some of the doubles for a pittance, but there are still a few (DVDs and BDs) floating around. Of course I bought all the following Bond movies as well, from the brilliant ones (SF and NTTD) to the not-so-brilliant ones (SP and QOS). And I also have NSNA and CR'67 on BD.

    But I decided I won't upgrade to 4K, since I'm still so thrilled by the picture quality of Full-HD from my projector and 14-ft screen. And it's even better now since I got both eye lenses replaced recently :-).

    The only VHS I still own from my young days is my copy of TWINE. I think I got rid of all the other VHS and DVD copies I had.

    You should see SF on 4K. I don't even like the film but it's stunning in the format.

    As for CR54, I wish I owned it physically. I know @Birdleson has a copy he said he got from eBay many years back, the lucky devil.

    I bought NTTD HD digital copy though not been in a rush to buy the Bluray, I am holding out for a full series 4K boxset.

    To be honest other than the excellent pre title sequence of NTTD I have gone a little cold on the rest of the movie.

    I'm eager to get DN - DAD (and anything unofficial) on 4K and that's it for me. They massacred CR and QoS, in my opinion, and I just don't care about SF and SP enough to spend the money to upgrade them, even if SF looks mind-blowing in the format.

    Some of the earlier films will look astonishing in 4K I am looking forward to whenever the set becomes available.

    QoS was OK I think it was an improvement of the Bluray for me, over time I suspect these films will get tweaked and remastered numerous times,

    Absolutely, especially the Brosnan era which has suffered with some rough upgrades to blu-ray.

    I just thought CR and QoS lost a ton of their color and looked inferior in 4K. I got to the Madagascar chase scene and was stunned at how dull it looked, turned it off and went back to my blu-ray copy.
