DVD or Blu-Ray of one of the most iconic 2000s movies is now worth a lot of money

I knew there was a reason I kept clinging to my DVDs for so long…

Turns out nostalgically hoarding all of your old DVD and Blu-Ray devices may’ve actually been worth it.

Do you remember the good old days where you used to go to a video store after school to pick out a movie to rent, having your friends over for a sleepover and maybe even treating yourself to a bag of popcorn or Häagen-Dazs ice cream?

Yep, you’re old. However, as sad as it is those days are now so far behind us, I have potential good news for you if you couldn’t bear to part ways with your DVDs – clinging onto them in a desperate bid to stay connected to your childhood – because there may be one in your collection which is actually worth a lot of money.

And this film isn’t some niche indie film that flew under the radar, it is widely considered one of the greatest in its genre.

The unfortunate truth is, despite this, in some countries you can’t stream it on any platform and you can’t buy the disks on Blu-Ray as they’re out of production.

You might be able to cop a disk if you searched on eBay but you then might have to fork over a fortune to get your hands on the disks.

Danny Boyle’s 2002 zombie apocalypse flick 28 Days Later is one hell of a film, but if you were of a mind to go and watch it now you’d hit something of a brick wall.

So you can see where we are going with this. Is it on Netflix? Nope. Depending on your country you might be able to catch it on Amazon’s Prime Video, but if you can’t, you could simply be out of luck.

So what do you do if you actually own a Blu-Ray disk of the film? Well, you can enjoy it to your hearts delight or you could look at selling it online.

If you bought it back in the day with the foresight that it would shoot up in worth, it is definitely your time to shine.

TikToker @unkn0wns0ldier11 laid out the situation, pointing out that someone over in the US was able to sell their copy for $110 because there’s no supply but demand still exists.

And it is for these very rare instances where stuff isn’t available digitally that I am such a fan of physical media.

So, go check your collection and see if you can turn over a lovely bit of profit selling the disk.
